  Open label phase 2b retrospectively controlled trial was conducted in 72 treatment-failed TB patients on socalled palliative support consisting of isoniazid (H) and rifampicin (R) with or without adjunct immunotherapy. The intervention group (N=36) received once-daily pill of V-5 Immunitor (V5) and comparison control (N=36) received HR only. The subjects in V5 and control groups had miliary: cavitary: MDR-TB: DR-TB: TB/HIV at 10: 26: 5: 4: 1 and 14: 22: 6: 6: 2 ratios, respectively. After 3 months 69.4% of V5-treated patients experienced negative sputum smear conversion (P<0.0001) vs. 16.7% (P=0.02) in comparison group who were treated for 3.5 months on average. 9 out of 10 V5 recipients with drug-resistant TB and TB/HIV became sputum negative, whereas none of 14 patients with same diagnosis converted (P<0.0001; OR 1732; 100-30008 at 95% CI).
