A Study to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety and Pharmacokinetics of CDI-988 in Healthy Adults After Challenge With Snow Mountain Virus

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.
