Overview
Participants in this study will be given either CDI-988 or placebo orally before receiving a norovirus challenge virus and continuing for 5 days. Participants will not know whether they are getting placebo or CDI-988. The study will evaluate how well CDI-988 compared to placebo can reduce the incidence of clinical symptoms after a challenge with norovirus. The amount of virus in stool samples will be measured over time. Side effects and pharmacokinetics (the amount of CDI-988 in blood) will also be measured.
Description
This is a single center Phase 1b randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study. The primary objective will be to evaluate the efficacy of CDI-988 in comparison to placebo in reducing the incidence of clinical symptoms after challenge with norovirus. Secondary objectives will be to evaluate the efficacy of CDI-988 in comparison to placebo in reducing viral shedding and disease severity and to evaluate the safety of CDI-988 in comparison to placebo.
