New mRNA vaccine could stop lyme disease in its tracks
NCT ID NCT07561294
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 04, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests an experimental mRNA vaccine (mRNA-1982) designed to prevent Lyme disease, which is spread by tick bites. About 350 healthy adults aged 18 to 70 will receive either the vaccine or a placebo to check for safety and immune response. The goal is to find the best dose that triggers strong protection against the bacteria that causes Lyme disease.
