Safety, Tolerability, and Pharmacokinetics of JNJ-1802, a Pan-serotype Dengue Direct Antiviral Small Molecule, in a Phase 1, Double-Blind, Randomized, Dose-Escalation Study in Healthy Volunteers.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Dengue is a growing global health threat with no specific antiviral drugs available for treatment or prophylaxis. This first-in-human, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study aimed to examine the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of increasing single and multiple oral doses of JNJ-1802, a pan-serotype dengue antiviral small molecule.

Methods

Eligible healthy participants (18-55 years of age) were randomized to receive oral JNJ-1802 in fasted conditions as (1) single doses (50-1200 mg; n = 29) or placebo (n = 10); or (2) once-daily doses (50-560 mg for 10 consecutive days or 400 mg for 31 days; n = 38) or placebo (n = 9). Safety and tolerability were evaluated throughout the study. Plasma and urine samples were collected at predetermined time po
