Evaluation of critical parameters in the hollow‐fibre system for tuberculosis: A case study of moxifloxacin

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The hollow‐fibre system for tuberculosis (HFS‐TB) is a preclinical model qualified by the European Medicines Agency to underpin the anti‐TB drug development process. It can mimic in vivo pharmacokinetic (PK)–pharmacodynamic (PD) attributes of selected antimicrobials, which could feed into in silico models to inform the design of clinical trials. However, historical data and published protocols are insufficient and omit key information to allow experiments to be reproducible. Therefore, in this work, we aim to optimize and standardize various HFS‐TB operational procedures.
