Brief summary

This Phase 1 study to evaluate the safety of a single dose of Dengushield (dengue monoclonal antibody) in healthy adults.

Detailed description

This Phase 1 study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of a single dose of Dengushield (dengue monoclonal antibody) in healthy adults in a dose-escalating study design. In addition, pharmacokinetics will also be studied.

Participants will be administered Dengushield 3 mg/kg as slow intravenous infusion.

BIOLOGICALPlacebo 3 mg/kg (Cohort 2) intravenous

Participants will be administered Placebo 3 mg/kg as slow intravenous infusion.

BIOLOGICALDengushield 7 mg/kg (Cohort 3) intravenous

Participants will be administered Dengushield 7 mg/kg as slow intravenous infusion.

BIOLOGICALPlacebo 7 mg/kg (Cohort 3) intravenous

Participants will be administered Placebo 7 mg/kg as slow intravenous infusion.

BIOLOGICALDengushield 12 mg/kg (Cohort 4) intravenous

Participants will be administered Dengushield 12 mg/kg as slow intravenous infusion.

BIOLOGICALPlacebo 12 mg/kg (Cohort 4) intravenous

TRIPLE (Subject, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)

Masking description

For the Cohort 1 (Initial Safety Cohort), no placebo control will be used and hence, blinding is not applicable.For remaining cohorts, both participant and investigator will be unaware of treatment allocation as well as the laboratories analyzing the biochemistry and hematology parameters, pharmacokinetic and immunogenicity (ADA) samples will be blinded to treatment allocation. The drug administrator will be unblinded who will prepare and administer the study drugs. The 7 day safety data for each cohort will be reviewed by group-wise unblinding. Individual level unblinding will be done only in cases of suspected serious adverse reactions as per the judgement of investigator or medical monitor / sponsor representative.

Intervention model description

This is a Phase 1, randomized, partially-blind (observer-blind), placebo controlled, single dose ascending study in healthy adults. For the Cohort 1 (Initial Safety Cohort), no placebo control will be used and hence, blinding is not applicable. There will be 4 dose levels. The proposed doses to be studied are; 1 mg/kg, 3 mg/kg, 12 mg/kg and 25 mg/kg. Total of 40 participants will be dosed and followed till Day 84 from dosing.
