Tarsus Kicks Off Phase 2 Trial of Oral TP‑05 for Lyme Disease Prevention
Calliope will evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of oral TP‑05 in adults at risk for Lyme, with a design informed by the earlier Carpo Phase 2a proof‑of‑concept study.
TP-05 is lotilaner, which goes by the brand name, Credelio, and is what Sparky takes every month to kill ticks.
This is all I wanted. There are a half-dozen methods to protect dogs from ticks, but nothing for humans except fraught news reports about Lyme disease and tick-borne maladies. There is also a bunch of stupid stuff about cutting your grass and tucking your pants into your socks.
I have a patch of land and a super-cute brush piglet. Sparky likes to crawl through brush looking for rabbits and he likes to hop up on my lap. Ticks are going to get through.
