With your help, we can take on Lyme disease.
Introducing a clinical trial for a Lyme disease vaccine that may offer protection against a common tick-borne illness now enrolling at certain PP*P locations.
This clinical trial may be an option if you:
Are [18-44] years old
Are generally healthy with no major changes in your recent medical history
Do not have a history of severe allergic reactions associated with any vaccine
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding and do not plan to become pregnant while receiving the study vaccine
Have never received a vaccine for Lyme disease
There are other requirements for taking part in this clinical trial. The study team will explain these to you if you’d like to learn more.
If this study is a good fit for you and you agree to take part, you will be assigned by chance (like pulling a number out of a hat) to 1 of 4 different vaccination schedules.
You will receive 5 injections (shots) over about 18 months. 4 of the shots will contain the study vaccine, and 1 will contain a placebo (injection with no active ingredients). You will not know or get to choose the order in which you receive your injections.
There is no cost to participate. [You will also be paid for completing study-related activities]
