Lyme disease

This study tests whether a fifth dose of Pfizer's Lyme disease vaccine (VLA15) is safe and boosts immunity in people who already received four doses. About 1,700 healthy volunteers aged 7 and older will get either the vaccine or a saltwater shot. Researchers will compare side eff…

This trial is testing whether a 7-day course of doxycycline works as well as the standard 14-day course for people with multiple erythema migrans, a sign of early Lyme disease. About 200 participants will be randomly assigned to one of the two treatment durations. Researchers wil…

This study aims to develop a better blood test for early Lyme disease in children. Current tests often miss early infections or give false positives. Researchers will also study the immune response and the types of Lyme bacteria involved. About 500 children with suspected Lyme di…

This study tests a small, non-invasive device that gently stimulates a nerve in the ear (taVNS) to see if it is safe and tolerable for people with persistent symptoms after Lyme disease treatment. The trial will enroll 24 adults who still have symptoms like fatigue or pain months…

This study tests a new way to treat brain fog in people with post-treatment Lyme disease. Participants will play computer-based thinking games at home while receiving either real or fake brain stimulation (tDCS) for 4 weeks. Researchers will check if the active stimulation improv…

This study tests a dietary supplement called lumbrokinase in 120 adults with Long Covid, post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome, or ME/CFS. Participants take the supplement daily for 6 weeks. The goal is to see if it improves overall health and quality of life, as measured by a sim…

This study follows 500 people with active Lyme disease to learn more about the infection. Participants receive standard FDA-approved treatments and undergo tests like blood draws and leukapheresis. The goal is to explore biological markers, track clinical outcomes, and understand…

This study investigates whether the bacteria causing Lyme disease can survive antibiotic treatment and cause ongoing symptoms. Researchers will follow 700 participants, including those with chronic Lyme disease, recovered individuals, and healthy volunteers, using blood tests, sp…

This study explores the real-life experiences of people who had Lyme disease during or before pregnancy and are now raising children. Participants fill out surveys about their health, mental well-being, and child development, then take part in an interview to share their personal…

This study follows 40 pregnant women with Lyme disease to see how the infection might affect their baby's development. Researchers will monitor pregnancies and check infant growth, thinking, and motor skills from birth to 18 months. The goal is to learn if Lyme exposure in the wo…

This study looks at how healthy people's skin and immune system respond to tick bites. Researchers will place clean, lab-bred ticks on volunteers' skin and take small skin samples and blood to track changes. The goal is to understand tick resistance and help design future vaccine…

This study looks at whether what patients expect before treatment for early Lyme disease (a red rash called erythema migrans) influences how well they recover. Researchers will follow 200 patients for up to a year, checking for lingering symptoms and comparing them to healthy peo…

This study is tracking 600 children and adults in Sweden who may have tick-borne diseases. Researchers will monitor their health over six months to better understand symptoms, improve diagnosis, and develop clearer treatment guidelines. The goal is to help doctors manage these in…

This study is building a large registry and biorepository of 5,000 adults with various rheumatic diseases like rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and scleroderma. Researchers at Yale University will collect medical data and biological samples over time to better understand these condit…

This study looks at cases of severe Lyme disease (disseminated borreliosis) in patients who have received anti-CD20 therapy, a type of immune-suppressing treatment. Researchers want to describe the symptoms, severity, and progression of the infection in these patients. The study …

This study looks back at cases of recurrent borreliosis, a bacterial infection spread by ticks or lice, diagnosed in France between 2013 and 2025. Researchers will describe the symptoms, where patients got infected, which Borrelia species caused the illness, and how it was diagno…
