Shorter antibiotic course for lyme rash put to the test
NCT ID NCT03966014
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares two treatment plans for people with erythema migrans, the classic Lyme disease rash. One group takes amoxicillin for 10 days, another for 14 days, and a third group gets no treatment. The goal is to see if a shorter course works just as well at preventing later symptoms. About 200 adults with the rash are being enrolled.

- Active substance
- amoxicillin
- What this could lead to
- If it works, this could show that a shorter course of amoxicillin is just as effective as a longer one for treating early Lyme disease.
