Preliminary results of an online survey conducted by the Company showed that nearly 3 million Americans (1.26 percent of the adult population in 2020) may have received a babesiosis diagnosis from a medical practitioner in their lifetime.<\/p>\n<p>In contrast, CDC reports 1,834 cases of babesiosis in 2020. Even though this annual number relies on different methodologies and timeframes, and is not directly comparable to the Company\u2019s estimates, the disparity suggests the possibility that babesiosis is significantly underdiagnosed or underreported in existing public health reporting data. The Company believes this may indicate a greater demand for effective treatment than suggested by current CDC statistics.<\/p>\n<p>The survey included responses from 6,000 participants selected to match the U.S. adult demographic distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Babesiosis is a serious, emerging tick-borne disease often found as a co-infection with Lyme disease. It may be life-threatening in immunocompromised and elderly individuals.<\/p>\n<p>An as yet untested medical hypothesis advanced by some prescribing physicians in the Lyme disease community is that persistent <em>Babesia<\/em> infection contributes to chronic fatigue and other problems. If this is true, millions of Americans with persistent fatigue, a common symptom of babesiosis, may be living with an undiagnosed but potentially treatable illness.<\/p>\n<p>The Company commissioned the survey as part of its goal to define the size of the commercial market for babesiosis treatment candidates now in development. It was conducted by Format Analytics, an independent market research agency.<\/p>\n<p>The online quantitative survey was conducted among a general adult population sample of 6,000 adults, with demographic variables (gender, age, ethnicity, income) matched to U.S. census data for optimal representation of the U.S. population. Babesiosis was reported as a diagnosed medical condition experienced by 1.26 percent of respondents, implying that 3 million Americans may have experienced babesiosis (1.26 percent of 268 million U.S. residents). Moreover, approximately 17 percent of babesiosis patients reported having experienced a duration of illness of six months or more, implying that at least 570,000 U.S. adults have experienced chronic disease (17 percent of 1.26 percent of 268 million U.S. adults).<\/p>\n<p>Another objective of the survey was to estimate what proportion of U.S. residents are currently experiencing fatigue lasting longer than six months (inclusive of those who have received a formal diagnosis of chronic fatigue syndrome\/encephalomyelitis). Approximately 3.7 percent of respondents to the survey, equivalent to about 9.9 million Americans per a U.S. adult population of 268 million U.S. adults, reported experiencing chronic fatigue of six months or longer at the time the survey was conducted. Approximately 56 percent of them (representing about 1.9 percent of total respondents) reported having received a formal diagnosis of Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS). In contrast, in a 2021\/2022 telephone survey, the CDC found that approximately 1.3 percent of respondents had received a formal diagnosis of CFS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese survey results, which will be submitted for publication soon, suggest that official statistics may not capture the lived experiences of babesiosis patients in the U.S.,\u201d said Chief Executive Officer of 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Geoffrey Dow. \u201cInfectious disease specialists seeking to treat patients who present with unexplained chronic fatigue should consider babesiosis as a differential diagnosis.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About Babesiosis and ARAKODA<\/strong><br \/>\n        <strong>\u00ae<\/strong>\n      <\/p>\n<p>Babesiosis is a rapidly emerging tick-borne disease often found as a co-infection with Lyme disease. Based on Lyme disease insurance claims and Babesia co-infection rates, 60 Degrees surmises that approximately 46,000 Americans are diagnosed with acute (short-term) babesiosis each year. Most people recover within 90 days when treated with standard antimicrobials recommended by the Infectious Diseases Society of America. These treatments are assumed to reduce the number of parasites enough for the immune system to clear the rest.<\/p>\n<p>However, in some individuals, <em>Babesia<\/em> infection may persist for at least a year, or they might recover and then feel unwell again up to two years later. Fatigue is usually the last clinical symptom of babesiosis to resolve. The actual number of people living with chronic or persistent (long-term) <em>Babesia<\/em> infection in the U.S. has not been described in the scientific literature.<\/p>\n<p>Medical literature suggests that ARAKODA (<strong>tafenoquine<\/strong>), a medicine licensed and manufactured by 60 Degrees may have the potential to clear <em>Babesia<\/em> parasites and ease symptoms. The Company is currently running two clinical trials (NCT06207370 and NCT06478641) to confirm these findings. A third study is being planned for people with a presumptive diagnosis of babesiosis and experiencing severe and disabling chronic fatigue (NCT06656351). One of the hypotheses the study will test is that 20 percent of patients entering the study will have a <em>Babesia<\/em> infection confirmable using commercially available molecular tests.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>ARAKODA is<\/strong> approved for malaria prophylaxis in\u00a0the United States\u00a0under the product name ARAKODA<sup>\u00ae<\/sup>. The safety of the approved regimen of\u00a0<strong>tafenoquine<\/strong>\u00a0for malaria prophylaxis has been assessed in five separate randomized, double-blind, active comparator or placebo-controlled trials for durations of up to six months<strong>.<\/strong><strong> ARAKODA<\/strong> has not been proven to be effective for treatment or prevention of babesiosis and is not approved by the\u00a0U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)\u00a0for such an indication.<\/p>\n<p>\n        <strong>About 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc.<\/strong><br \/>\n        <br \/>60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc., founded in 2010, specializes in developing and marketing new medicines for the treatment and prevention of infectious diseases that affect the lives of millions of people. 60 Degrees Pharmaceuticals, Inc. achieved FDA approval of its lead product, ARAKODA\u00ae (<strong>tafenoquine<\/strong>), for malaria prevention, in 2018. 60 Degrees also collaborates with prominent research organizations in the U.S., Australia, and Singapore.
