Dengue human infection models (DHIM) have been used as a safe means to test the viability of prophylaxis and therapeutics.
A phase 1 study of 12 healthy adult volunteers using a challenge virus, DENV-1-LVHC strain 45AZ5, was performed. A dose escalating design was used to determine the safety and performance profile of the challenge virus. Subjects were evaluated extensively until 28 days and then out to 6 months.
Twelve subjects received the challenge virus: 6 with 0.5 mL of 6.5 × 103 plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL (low-dose group) and 6 with 0.5 mL of 6.5 × 104 PFU/mL (mid-dose group). All except 1 in the low-dose group developed detectable viremia. For all subjects the mean incubation period was 5.9 days (range 5-9 days) and mean time of viremia was 6.8 days (range 3-9 days). Mean peak for all subjects was 1.6 × 107 genome equivalents (GE)/mL (range 4.6 × 103 to 5 × 107 GE/mL). There were no serious adverse events or long-term safety signals noted.
We conclude that DENV-1-LVHC was well-tolerated, resulted in an uncomplicated dengue illness, and may be a suitable DHIM for therapeutic and prophylactic product testing.

登革热人体感染模型(DHIM)已被用作测试预防和治疗药物可行性的安全手段。
对 12 名健康成年志愿者使用挑战病毒 DENV-1-LVHC 株 45AZ5 进行了一项 1 期研究。采用剂量递增设计来确定挑战病毒的安全性和性能特征。对受试者进行了广泛的评估,直到第 28 天,然后持续到 6 个月。
12 名受试者接受了挑战病毒:6 名接受 0.5 mL 6.5×103 噬菌斑形成单位(PFU)/mL(低剂量组),6 名接受 0.5 mL 6.5×104 PFU/mL(中剂量组)。低剂量组除 1 人外,其余人均出现可检测到的病毒血症。所有受试者的平均潜伏期为 5.9 天(范围 5-9 天),病毒血症平均时间为 6.8 天(范围 3-9 天)。所有受试者的平均峰值为 1.6×107 基因组当量(GE)/mL(范围 4.6×103 至 5×107 GE/mL)。未观察到严重不良事件或长期安全信号。
我们得出结论,DENV-1-LVHC 耐受性良好,导致单纯性登革热疾病,可能是用于治疗和预防产品测试的合适 DHIM。
