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.
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.

RECRUITINGIncidence of norovirus-confirmed disease
Disease is defined as diarrhea and/or vomiting (during the inpatient period), with laboratory-confirmed infection (with SMV specific primers on stool/emesis) or seroconversion
Time frame: Day 0 to Day 21
Modified Vesikari Score (MVS) symptom scores during the inpatient period in infected patients
Score based on duration of diarrhea, maximum number of stools in a 24 hour period, duration of vomiting and maximum number of vomiting episodes in a 24 hour period
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 6
Time to symptom improvement
From peak Total Symptom Score to point where Total Symptom Score is within 3 points of baseline prior to challenge. The Modified Vesikari Score is a clinical tool used to assess the severity of acute gastroenteritis in children. The minimum and maximum values are 0 and 20, respectively. Higher scores mean a worse clinical severity. For example, a higher score reflects more severe symptoms such as longer duration or higher frequency of diarrhea or vomiting.
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 6
Time to first SMV-negative stool
Determined by RT-qPCR
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 6
Area Under the Curve of SMV load
Determined by RT-qPCR
Time frame: Day 1 to Day 21
Incidence of treatment emergent adverse events
Number of participants with adverse events following first dose
Time frame: Day 0 to Day 21
Incidence of serious adverse events
Number of participants with serious adverse events
Time frame: From signing informed consent to Day 21
Maximum plasma concentration of CDI-988
Amount of CDI-988 in the blood
Time frame: Day 0 and Day 4 pre-dose and at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours
Time of maximum plasma concentration of CDI-988
time to reach maximum plasma concentration
Time frame: Day 0 and Day 4 pre-dose and at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours
Area under the plasma concentration time curve
Measurement of area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC)
Time frame: Day 0 and Day 4 pre-dose and at 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, and 12 hours
