Trial Outcomes & Findings for Xenodiagnosis After Antibiotic Treatment for Lyme Disease (NCT NCT02446626)
NCT ID: NCT02446626
Last Updated: 2024-06-03
Results Overview
Recovered ticks after feeding on research participants were tested for presence of B. burgdorferi using at least one of three procedures: 1. Test ticks by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and culture - Injection of tick lysate into severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) mice with subsequent PCR and culture testing 2. Test ticks using isothermal amplification reaction included in the PCR electrospray ionization mass spectroscopy 3. Test ticks by PCR using the Tick-borne disease Capture Sequencing Assay (TBDCapSeq)

Participant milestones
| Measure |
Cohort #1: Patients With Lyme Disease, Post-therapy
Participants with Lyme disease, post-therapy had 25-30 clean laboratory-reared larval ticks applied as close as possible to the previous site of Lyme disease manifestation. Ticks were secured under a retention dressing and allowed to attach to the research participant. Ticks were removed 3 - 6 days after the placement.
|
Cohort #2: Patients With Post-treatment Lyme Disease Symptoms (PTLDs)
Participants with post-treatment Lyme disease symptoms (PTLDS) at least 12-months from initial treatment had 25-30 clean laboratory-reared larval ticks applied as close as possible to the previous site of Lyme disease manifestation. Ticks were secured under a retention dressing and allowed to attach to the research participant. Ticks were removed 3 - 6 days after the placement.
|
Cohort #3: New Acute Erythema Migrans
Participant with new onset of acute erythema migrans had 25-30 clean laboratory-reared larval ticks applied as close as possible to the site of Lyme disease manifestation. Ticks were secured under a retention dressing and allowed to attach to the research participant. Ticks were removed 3 - 6 days after the placement.
Acute erythema migrans participant (possible positive control)
|
Cohort #4: Untreated Lyme Arthritis
Participant with untreated Lyme arthritis had 25-30 clean laboratory-reared larval ticks applied as close as possible to the site of Lyme disease manifestation. Ticks were secured under a retention dressing and allowed to attach to the research participant. Ticks were removed 3 - 6 days after the placement.
Lyme Arthritis participant (possible positive control)

Cohort #5: Healthy Volunteers
Healthy volunteers with no history of Lyme disease had 25-30 clean laboratory-reared larval ticks applied to a body site that was comfortable for participant. Ticks were secured under a retention dressing and allowed to attach to the research participant. Ticks were removed 3 - 6 days after the placement.
