60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) has received IRB approval for a Phase II clinical study to evaluate ARAKODA® (tafenoquine) in treating chronic babesiosis. The open-label study (NCT06656351) will assess the drug's efficacy and safety over 90 days in outpatient settings, targeting patients with presumptive chronic babesiosis who have experienced significant functional impairment for at least six months.
Patient enrollment is scheduled to begin in Q3 2025. The company estimates the total cumulative addressable market through December 2035 (U.S. patent protection end) exceeds 400,000 patients. The study aims to address an unmet medical need, as there are currently no approved treatment options for chronic babesiosis, a condition that is emerging in new regions of the U.S.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) has initiated enrollment in an expanded access clinical study for tafenoquine in treating persistent babesiosis. The study aims to confirm the drug's effectiveness in patients who have failed standard care treatment and are at high relapse risk.
Recent clinical case studies showed tafenoquine achieved an 80% cure rate in five high-risk patients with persistent, relapsing babesiosis who failed prior treatments. Babesiosis, a potentially life-threatening tick-borne disease transmitted by the black-legged tick, shows increasing incidence in the Northeast U.S.
The company estimates the total cumulative accessible market through December 2035 (U.S. patent protection end) may exceed 400,000 patients. While tafenoquine is currently approved as ARAKODA for malaria prophylaxis, it has not been proven effective or received FDA approval for babesiosis treatment or prevention.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) and Tufts Medical Center have signed a Patent License Agreement to develop and commercialize tafenoquine for babesiosis treatment and prevention. The agreement establishes joint patent ownership, with 60 Degrees leading global commercialization efforts and holding exclusive rights. Tufts MC will receive royalties on net sales while retaining research rights. The collaboration aims to address an unmet medical need, as tafenoquine could potentially become the first prophylaxis available for babesiosis, a tick-borne disease affecting red blood cells. The agreement follows initial research collaboration between both organizations, resulting in U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/461,060.
60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ: SXTP) has expanded its tafenoquine clinical trial for babesiosis to Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston. The double-blind, placebo-controlled study will evaluate tafenoquine combined with standard treatment for hospitalized babesiosis patients. The trial is also ongoing at Tufts Medical Center, Yale University, and Rhode Island Hospital.
The study aims to recruit 24-33 patients in summer 2025, with an interim analysis expected in early 2026. The main endpoints are time to sustained clinical resolution of symptoms and molecular cure. Recent case studies suggest tafenoquine with standard care shows high cure rates in immunosuppressed patients with relapsing babesiosis. The company estimates the total accessible market through December 2035 could exceed 400,000 patients.
