Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

DENV infections can cause self-limited but incapacitating acute illness lasting four to seven days. The illness is characterized by fever, headache, severe pain in muscles, joints, pain behind the eyes, and a rash. DENV infection can be complicated by the development of hemorrhagic fever (DHF) or shock syndrome (DSS), which is manifested by plasma leakage and a bleeding diathesis or frank hemorrhage. DHF is fatal in at least 0.5% of pediatric cases but rarely in adults. People, particularly children, living in hyper-endemic areas who have antibodies from an earlier dengue infection with one serotype are at increased risk for DHF if subsequently infected by another dengue virus serotype.

Currently, no specific anti-viral therapy exists. Therapy is largely supportive. Mosquito control has failed to prevent dengue transmission; therefore, prevention of dengue through vaccination is an important objective of the World Health Organization (WHO) and many national governments, including the United States.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years to 50 years (ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Genders Eligible for Study

All

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
