- Brief Summary
The investigational study drug, JNJ-64281802, is being developed for the prevention and treatment of dengue infection. This study is hypothesizing that the highest dose of the investigational study drug is superior to receiving a placebo with respect to its antiviral activity in healthy adult participants inoculated with Dengue Serotype 3.
