A Randomized, Participant- and Investigator-blinded, Placebo-controlled, Parallel Group Study to Assess the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of EYU688 in Patients With Dengue Fever
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:
Novartis Reference Number:CEYU688A12201
All compounds are either investigational or being studied for (a) new use(s). Efficacy and safety have not been established. There is no guarantee that they will become commercially available for the use(s) under investigation.

Study Description

The purpose of this study is to characterize the effect on dengue viral load, fever clearance time as well as on clinical signs and symptoms with the treatment of EYU688 compared with placebo in patients with dengue fever.

This is a randomized, participant- and investigator- blinded, placebo-controlled study to investigate the efficacy and safety of EYU688 administered orally in patients with dengue fever.

Due to the different PK sampling schedules applied, the study consists of two cohorts run in parallel (intensive PK [cohort 1] and sparse PK sampling [cohort 2]).
