Evaluation and treatment for active Lyme disease
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study evaluates and treats people who currently have active Lyme disease, as defined by CDC criteria. It aims to provide expert care and follow-up while studying the disease.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have a doctor's diagnosis of active Lyme disease based on the CDC case definition.
- You need to have your own primary care doctor for non-study related health issues and emergencies.
- You must not have post-treatment Lyme disease syndrome (symptoms that continue after treatment).
- You must be able to follow study instructions and attend visits reliably.
- If you volunteer for the apheresis (blood collection) part, you need to be 18 or older, weigh over 110 pounds, and have no serious heart, lung, kidney, or bleeding problems.
- You also need to test negative for HIV, hepatitis C, and hepatitis B, and if female, must not be pregnant or nursing.

This research study examines why some people continue to have symptoms months after being treated for Lyme disease. Researchers will compare patients with ongoing symptoms to people who recovered well, to better understand what causes lasting problems and how to help.
This study looks at how a person’s immune system responds after exposure to Ixodes (black-legged) tick bites. It aims to better understand the body’s early immune reaction after tick exposure, using blood tests and small skin samples.
This study explores the experiences of people who had Lyme disease during pregnancy or had ongoing Lyme symptoms throughout their pregnancy. By sharing your story in a recorded interview, you can help doctors and researchers better support parents with Lyme disease.
This study looks at how Lyme disease during pregnancy might affect a baby's development. It involves questionnaires and possibly an MRI of the baby's brain, done at a visit or remotely.
This study looks at how your immune system responds to the bacteria that causes Lyme disease. It may help doctors better understand the disease and improve treatment. The trial includes people with a specific form of Lyme called acrodermatitis chronica atrophicans (a skin condition) and healthy volunteers.
This trial is testing a new blood test to help diagnose Lyme disease (borrelia infection) in children. If you are at the emergency room with symptoms that might be Lyme disease and you have a healthy immune system, you might be able to join.
