NCT06551844

Brief Summary

This is a randomized, open-label adaptive platform trial aiming to screen the antiviral effectiveness of the experimental drug(s) in early dengue infection

  • Primary objectives:
  • To determine the antiviral effectiveness of the experimental drug(s) in early dengue infection
  • To assess the safety and tolerability of the experimental drug(s) in dengue patients
  • Secondary objective:
  • To assess the effect of the experimental drug(s) in dengue patients on physiological, clinical and virological parameters

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Viral clearance rate

    Rate of viral clearance estimated under a hierarchical log-linear model fit to the serial viral load measurements over 5 days after enrolment. The viremia kinetics will be measured using the qRT-PCR assay, which will be performed on samples taken twice a day from day 1 to day 3 of study and then once a day on days 4 and 5 of study (total 9 samples per patient).

    From randomization until day 5 of study

  • Number of AEs (grade 3, 4 and 5)

    All patients will be followed up daily until discharge and then at around days 30 after randomization to collect information on clinical progress of dengue illness and any adverse events occurring during the study course. All AEs and SAEs will be recorded.

    Until day 30 post-enrolment

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Area under the viremia curve

    From randomisation until day 5 of study

  • Viral log reduction

    up to 48 hours of study

  • NS1 clearance time

    up to day 5

  • Number of patients progress to severe dengue (WHO 2009 criteria)

    From enrolment until discharge, assessed up to 30 days

  • Number of patients requiring for ICU admission

    From enrolment until discharge, assessed up to 30 days

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (4)

Standard of care (arm A)

NO INTERVENTION

Patients, who are randomly allocated into arm A will receive the standard of care (no study drug)

Molnupiravir (arm B)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients, who are randomly allocated into arm B, will receive 800mg po bid of Molnupiravir for 5 days

Drug: Molnupiravir 400 mg

Monoclonal antibody (arm C)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients, who are randomly allocated into arm C, will receive a single dose of 6mg/Kg of the dengue monoclonal antibody via an intravenous line over 2 hours.

Drug: VIS513 (a monoclonal antibody)

Remdesivir (arm D)

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients, who are randomly allocated into arm D, will receive: * Adults or children ≥ 40Kg: 200mg loading dose on day 1, followed by 100mg once daily from day 2 to day 5. * Children \< 40Kg: 5mg/Kg loading dose on day 1, followed by 2.5mg/Kg once daily from day 2 to day 5.

Drug: Remdesivir 100mg

Interventions

This is an antiviral drug (an RNA dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor, with broad spectrum antiviral activity) currently approved for use in treatment for COVID-19 patients. In this trial, its antiviral effectiveness on the early phase of dengue virus infection will be assessed.

Also known as: Molnupiravir STELLA 400mg
Molnupiravir (arm B)

VIS513 is an engineered humanised monoclonal antibody produced by recombinant DNA technology in a mammalian cell (i.e. Chinese hamster ovary) line. It was discovered in the USA by Visterra Inc and subsequently technology for manufacturing and further development was transferred to Serum Institute of India Pvt. Ltd., Pune, India. It has shown potent, specific neutralization of all four serotypes of DENV.

Also known as: Dengue monoclonal antibody (Dengue mAb/ Dv Mab)
Monoclonal antibody (arm C)

Remdesivir (GS-443902) is a nucleoside analogue - RNA dependent RNA polymerase inhibitor. In a meta-analysis of 10 RCTs and 32 observational studies reporting on the use of Remdesivir in COVID-19, remdesivir reduced mortality from severe disease and shortened time to clinical improvement. In this trial, its antiviral effectiveness on the early phase of dengue virus infection will be assessed

Also known as: VEKLURY™ for IV Infusion 100 mg
Remdesivir (arm D)

Eligibility Criteria
