Oral Tafenoquine Plus Standard of Care Versus Placebo Plus Standard of Care for Babesiosis

Conditions

Study Overview

This clinical trial focuses on testing the efficacy of different digital interventions to promote re-engagement in cancer-related long-term follow-up care for adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of childhood cancer.

Description

This study is a double-blind, randomized, multisite, placebo-controlled trial comparing the safety and efficacy of TQ versus placebo in patients hospitalized for babesiosis with low risk for relapsing disease who will also be administered a standard-of-care antimicrobial regimen (A/A) that is recommended in the 2020 IDSA guideline on the diagnosis and management of babesiosis.
