60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals Announces Clinical Improvement and Negative PCR Results in All Completed Expanded Access Babesiosis Study Patients

$SXTPPress releaseOct 27, 2026, 8:06 AM ETRead the release

All five completed patients (100%) in 60P's expanded access babesiosis study reported much or very much improved outcomes with negative conventional PCR tests, and 80% were negative on a highly sensitive post-treatment NAT assay. Total enrollment is seven, with two patients still on treatment and the study open pending potential FDA discussions. The company plans to pursue accelerated approval using post-treatment NAT nonreactivity as a proposed surrogate endpoint. A separate randomized, placebo-controlled hospitalized-babesiosis study (NCT06207370) is expected to unblind in January 2027, followed by a pre-sNDA meeting request with FDA.
