Can a common arthritis drug tame deadly dengue fever?
NCT ID NCT05611710
Summary
This study is testing if a drug called anakinra, which calms the immune system, can help people hospitalized with severe dengue fever. Dengue can sometimes cause a dangerous overreaction of the body's own defenses, called a 'cytokine storm.' Researchers will give 160 patients in Vietnam either anakinra or a placebo for four days to see if it reduces organ damage and improves recovery.
