- 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals enrolled the first 2026 seasonal patient in a placebo-controlled hospital trial testing tafenoquine as an add-on babesiosis treatment.
- No efficacy results have been presented; an interim analysis is expected once at least 24 patients are enrolled, potentially as soon as early July 2026.
- Enrollment is running about one month ahead of plan, supporting a faster read on whether tafenoquine improves symptom resolution or parasite clearance.
- Tafenoquine is marketed as ARAKODA for malaria prevention, not for babesiosis, leaving the program dependent on clinical data to support expansion.
- A timing update for the interim analyses is planned about 50 days after enrollment is completed.
