Sterile, non-pathogenic nymphal ticks were placed on the skin of healthy human volunteers at two separate instances (one day prior to dosing and on Day 30 after dosing).

Key Points: 
  • Sterile, non-pathogenic nymphal ticks were placed on the skin of healthy human volunteers at two separate instances (one day prior to dosing and on Day 30 after dosing).
  • In most cases, ticks must be attached for 36-48 hours or more before Lyme disease can be transmitted, so killing ticks within 24 hours of attachment can greatly increase the probability of disease prevention 1.
  • Both the high and low doses of TP-05 demonstrated a statistically significant benefit in killing ticks compared to placebo.
  • No statistically significant differences in tick mortality were observed between the two TP-05 treatment arms, and TP-05 was generally well tolerated.
