テトラサイクリン治療の忍容性試験 (T-4)
T4 - テトラサイクリン治療の忍容性試験 治療後のライム病 (PTLD) におけるテトラサイクリン療法の実現可能性と忍容性を調べるパイロット研究
Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study (with a one-week washout period) where subjects receive either 3 months of tetracycline or 3 months of placebo. After the 3 month primary endpoint, in the follow-up period, patients will be assigned to the alternate treatment for 3 months with blind maintained.

詳細な説明
There is precedent for the use of tetracycline class antibiotics as an anti-inflammatory agent in chronic illnesses including dermatologic and rheumatologic illnesses. The 2015 American College of Rheumatology Guideline for the Treatment of Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) includes long-term therapy with tetracycline in its treatment recommendations. This class of antibiotics has known anti-inflammatory effect in addition to its antimicrobial properties. Tetracyclines, in particular minocycline, have been associated with a significant improvement in disease activity in RA with no increased risk of adverse effects.
To date, no clinical trials have examined the benefit of extended duration; i.e. >4 weeks tetracycline therapy in PTLD. Concerns over side effects and the development of antibiotic-resistance and superinfections such as Clostridioides difficile have limited the use of long-term antibiotics, including tetracycline. There is a large body of literature on tetracycline and other drugs in this class regarding the drugs' anti-inflammatory properties and potential benefit in several non-infectious diseases such cerebrovascular disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and rosacea.
The investigators believe that this deserves further study. Initially, the investigators propose this pilot study to examine the feasibility and tolerability of tetracycline treatment in PTLD Secondarily, the investigators propose to assess preliminary data on the efficacy of 3 months duration tetracycline treatment in reducing PTLD symptoms at (1) the end of the three-month treatment period, and (2) rate of change during the 1st 3 months of treatment.
Lastly, as an exploration, the investigators will explore in the follow-up period the return of symptoms after the completion of the 3 month tetracycline and the effect of 3 months of tetracycline in the placebo arm.
The investigators hypothesize that a tetracycline study over a 4 year interval will be feasible to conduct and tolerable to patients. Secondarily, the investigators hypothesize that 3 months of tetracycline treatment will be associated with greater improvements in fatigue, symptom burden and functional impact than placebo. This research is important because the long-term sequelae of LD are debilitating to patients and costly to society.
