60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) reported that a peer-reviewed, sponsored study at North Carolina State found Babesia infection in 24% of 50 patients presenting with chronic fatigue. The Company said these results support the theory that Babesia may prolong recovery in chronic fatigue and reinforce continuation of the B-FREE Chronic Babesiosis Study (NCT06656351), which is evaluating a 90-day ARAKODA (tafenoquine) regimen for resolution of severe fatigue. The B-Free study is enrolling at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York. The release notes that tafenoquine is approved in the U.S. for malaria prophylaxis as ARAKODA but is not proven or FDA-approved to treat or prevent babesiosis.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) announced a planned expansion of sales and marketing for ARAKODA after a 6-month commercial pilot showed increasing product sales among prescribers. Plans for 2026 include doubling inside sales representatives, a new GoodRx partnership to broaden point-of-sale visibility, and an enhanced digital "surround sound" marketing campaign to boost prescriber awareness and engagement.
Separately, the company will add at least two babesiosis clinical sites for ongoing randomized and expanded-access studies following FDA feedback on its Breakthrough Therapy designation request; FDA declined the request but acknowledged babesiosis as serious and suggested resubmission with controlled-trial data. Tafenoquine (ARAKODA) remains approved for malaria prophylaxis and is not approved for babesiosis treatment.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) opened the central site at Mount Sinai Icahn School of Medicine to enroll patients in the B-FREE Chronic Babesiosis Study on Nov 21, 2025.
The Phase 2 open-label study (NCT06656351) will evaluate an ARAKODA® (tafenoquine) regimen over 90 days for resolution of severe fatigue and parasite eradication, will run ~12 months, and plans to enroll up to 100 patients. Internal estimates put the U.S. unmet need between 4,400 and 190,000 cases annually; a study aim is to confirm Babesia infection using validated molecular tests to refine market size. Tafenoquine is approved for malaria prophylaxis as ARAKODA® but is not approved or proven for babesiosis treatment.

The company recorded a gross loss of ~$100,000 versus a $24,000 gross profit a year earlier due to a one-time inventory write-off tied to short shelf-life validation lots.

On October 3, 2025 the company submitted a Breakthrough Therapy request to FDA and plans a Type B meeting in early 2026 to discuss requirements for a supplementary NDA; remaining patients are expected to finish between January and October 2026 and clinical data are expected in second half of 2026.
