The Cepheid Xpert MTB/XDR cartridge, which runs on the same platform as Xpert MTB/RIF Ultra, has been developed to detect additional resistance to isoniazid, fluoroquinolones and second-line injectable anti-tuberculosis drugs and provides results within 2 hours and on primary samples. An evaluation of the the Xpert MTB/XDR assay is currently underway in clinical settings in South Africa, India and Moldova. The TB-CAPT MTB/XDR Study will add further diagnostic accuracy and feasibility data to the evidence base for the Xpert MTB/XDR assay.
