Active substance

EYU688

What this could lead to

If it works, this could lead to a new treatment that shortens dengue fever and reduces the amount of virus in the blood.

What could go wrong

This is an early Phase 2 trial with only 108 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The drug may not work better than placebo, and side effects are still being studied.
