Disseminated Lyme and Borrelia miyamotoi infections after anti‑CD20 treatment in France
Official title: A Multicenter Real-life Study of Disseminated Borreliosis Cases Occurring in Patients Receiving Anti-CD20 Treatment in France
Run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France · NCT07343089 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This project looks at clinical, laboratory, imaging, and medication information from people in France who developed widespread Borrelia infections after anti‑CD20 therapy.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates are children or adults in France with molecularly confirmed disseminated Borrelia burgdorferi sl. or Borrelia miyamotoi diagnosed within 24 months after receiving an anti‑CD20 monoclonal antibody between Jan 1, 2010 and Jul 30, 2025.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients without molecular confirmation of Borrelia infection, those whose infection occurred more than 24 months after anti‑CD20 therapy, or those who refuse participation are unlikely to benefit from inclusion.

What this trial studies
This multicenter, real‑life observational effort led by CHU Strasbourg compiles clinical, biological, radiological, and pharmacological data on cases of disseminated Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato or Borrelia miyamotoi occurring after anti‑CD20 monoclonal antibody therapy. Eligible cases require molecular confirmation of disseminated borreliosis occurring within 24 months of anti‑CD20 treatment given between January 1, 2010 and July 30, 2025. Data will be extracted from hospital records and laboratory results and centrally analyzed to describe presentations, diagnostic pathways, treatments, and outcomes. No experimental treatments are administered as part of the project; it is purely observational and descriptive.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this work could help clinicians recognize, diagnose, and manage disseminated Borrelia infections in patients treated with anti‑CD20 antibodies more effectively.
How similar studies have gone: Case reports and small case series have described Borrelia infections after anti‑CD20 therapy, but comprehensive multicenter descriptive data are limited.
