Financial Disclosures

• Prof. Stephen Gillespie is in receipt of research grants from MMRC, EDCTP, Global Alliance for TB Drug Development. Professor Gillespie’s involvements in clinical trials are supported by active and placebo drug supplies from Bayer Schering Health Care and Sanofi Aventis, while also providing support with regulatory and drug safety advice. Neither company has a managerial role within the study, however. Professor Gillespie has also provided training to senior staff at Bayer Schering Health Care.
