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.

JNJ-64281802JNJ-64281802 (sentinel high dose)There are two cohorts and three groups in each cohort. Cohort 1 consists of Group 1a, Group 1b and Group 2. Cohort 2 consists of Group 3, Group 4, and Group 5. Within each group, participants will either be randomized to receive study drug or placebo. Four participants will be enrolled in Group 1a before enrolling the remaining participants to Group 1b (12 participants) and Group 2 (14 participants) in Cohort 1. Based on the interim analysis results of Cohort 1, three groups for Cohort 2 were created. Eight participants will be enrolled in each of the three groups (Group 3, Group 4, and Group 5).
