ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new treatment called EYU688 for patients with dengue fever, a viral illness that can cause high fever and other symptoms like headaches, muscle pain, and rash. The goal of the study is to see how well EYU688 works to reduce the amount of the virus in the body and to help patients feel better faster compared to a placebo (a treatment that looks like the real drug but has no active ingredients). Researchers are currently looking for participants aged 18 to 60 who have had a fever of 38°C or higher and show signs of dengue infection within the last two days.

If you or someone you know is interested in participating, it's important to know that there are certain health criteria to meet. For example, participants should not be pregnant, have significant medical conditions, or be taking specific medications that might interfere with the study. During the trial, participants will receive either EYU688 or a placebo, and researchers will monitor their health and symptoms closely. This trial is an opportunity to contribute to finding a potential treatment for dengue fever while receiving medical care and support.
