Overview

Brief Summary

This study is designed to evaluate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of TP05 administered orally to healthy adult participants.

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

The Incidence of Treatment Emergent Adverse Events From Baseline

Time Frame: 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

Time Frame: 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

Time Frame: 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

Time Frame: 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)

Time Frame: 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

Time Frame: 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

Time Frame: 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

Time Frame: 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.)
  • Terminal Elimination Half Life (t½) of Lotilaner(At protocol specified timepoints through end study treatment phase, an average of 28 weeks.)
  • Area Under the Concentration Time Curve (AUC) of Lotilaner(At protocol specified timepoints through end of pharmacokinetic sampling, an average of 15 months.)
  • Maximum Observed Concentration (Cmax) of Lotilaner(At protocol specified timepoints through end of pharmacokinetic sampling, an average of 15 months.)
  • Time to Maximum Observed Concentration (Tmax) of Lotilaner(At protocol specified timepoints through end of pharmacokinetic sampling, an average of 15 months.)
