+Detailed description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted in healthy adult participants prior to anticipated exposure to Lyme Borreliosis. Participants will be randomized to receive either TP05 or placebo according to a predefined dosing schedule. Safety will be evaluated through adverse event monitoring, clinical laboratory assessments, vital signs, and physical examinations. The study will consist of a screening period, a treatment period (up to 24 weeks) and a safety follow up period. Participants will be randomized to receive one of two treatment regimens of TP-05 or placebo. Participants will be followed up for approximately 15 months and evaluated further for tick bites or symptoms of Lyme borreliosis.

  • TP-05 (lotilaner) Low Dose (Drug): TP05 administered orally at the protocol-defined preventative dose.
  • TP-05 (lotilaner) High Dose (Drug): TP05 administered orally at the protocol-defined preventative dose.
  • Placebo (Drug): Matching placebo administered orally according to the same dosing schedule as TP05.

+Outcome measures

Primary outcomes

  • The Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events From Baseline [From day 1 through the end of study follow-up, an average of 15 months.]: Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by incidence rate of treatment emergent adverse events from baseline.
  • Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline Chemistry Laboratory Tests [From day 1 through the end of study follow up, an average of 15 months.]: Number of participants with clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory tests
  • Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline Hematology Laboratory Tests [From day 1 through the end of study follow up, an average of 15 months.]: Number of participants with clinically significant changes in clinical laboratory tests.
  • Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline Vital Signs [From day 1 through the end of study follow up, an average of 15 months.]: Number of participants with clinically significant changes in vital signs.
  • Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline Electrocardiograms (ECGs) [From day 1 through the end of study follow up, an average of 15 months.]: Safety will be assessed by evaluating clinically significant changes from Baseline ECGs change in mean ventricular rate \[beats/min\].
  • Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline Electrocardiograms (ECGs) Measures [From day 1 through the end of study follow up, an average of 15 months.]: Safety will be assessed by evaluating clinically significant changes from Baseline ECGs change in pulse rate \[msec\].
  • Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline QTC Interval [From day 1 through the end of study follow up, an average of 15 months.]: Safety will be assessed by evaluating clinically significant changes from Baseline ECGs change in QTC interval
  • Clinically Significant Changes From Baseline QRS Interval [From day 1 through the end of study follow up, an average of 15 months.]: Safety will be assessed by evaluating clinically significant changes from Baseline ECGs change in QRS interval.

Secondary outcomes

  • Concentration of Lotilaner in Whole Blood [From dose through study completion, an average of 15 months.]: Concentration of lotilaner in whole blood at specified timepoints measured using validated bioanalytical assays.
  • Terminal Elimination Half Life (t½) of Lotilaner [At protocol specified timepoints through end study treatment phase, an average of 28 weeks.]: Terminal elimination half life (t½) of lotilaner.
  • Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of Lotilaner [At protocol specified timepoints through end of pharmacokinetic sampling, an average of 15 months.]: Area under the concentration time curve (AUC) of lotilaner.
  • Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Lotilaner [At protocol specified timepoints through end of pharmacokinetic sampling, an average of 15 months.]: Maximum observed concentration (Cmax) of lotilaner.
  • Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Lotilaner [At protocol specified timepoints through end of pharmacokinetic sampling, an average of 15 months.]: Time to maximum observed concentration (Tmax) of lotilaner.
