Brief Summary: This randomized placebo controlled single center study examines the extent to which 600 mgm2day of orally administered ISLA101 fenretinide given prophylactically or therapeutically may reduce or eliminate signs and symptoms of dengue virus DENV infection over 29 days following subcutaneous challenge of healthy subjects with Dengue 1 Live Virus Human Challenge DENV-1-LVHC Humoral and cellular immune responses both innate and adaptive circulating virus and changes in clinical laboratory measures will also be examined
Detailed Description: Pharmacology studies have identified the potential for fenretinide to inhibit the binding of the DENV nonstructural protein 5 NS5 to host nuclear importins IMPs IMP-α and IMP-β1 thereby impairing infection and replication This Phase 2 study is to evaluate the effectiveness of fenretinide in an encapsulated oral formulation ISLA101 against challenge with Dengue 1 Live Virus Human Challenge DENV-1-LVHC product both prophylactically and therapeutically Oral doses will be taken with a high fat meal to improve absorption as fenretinide is known to have poor gut permeability attributed to its accumulation in lipophilic cell membranes
