The control group will be formed of 60 overweight or obese dengue patients receiving standard of care

Two cohorts receive a 5-day course of metformin treatment. In the initial phase (cohort 1), 5 young adults and 5 children (age <16) will receive a low dose of metformin. In the second phase (cohort 2), 25 adult and 25 paediatric patients will receive a weight-based dose of metformin.

The trial will be conducted in two phases, with a dose escalation of metformin. Metformin dosing will begin at 500mg (children) and 850mg (adults) once daily for 5 days in cohort 1.
Cohort 2 will be received weight-based doses; 5 days of 1000mg (500mg twice daily) for those weighing <60kg and 5 days of 1500mg (1000mg mane, 500mg nocte) for those weighing ≥60kg

Metformin as Adjunctive Therapy in Overweight and Obese Patients With Dengue: an Open-label Safety and Tolerability Trial

Number of severe clinical symptoms and signs, including severe diarrhoea (defined as >5 episodes watery stool/day), severe vomiting, defined as 2-5 episodes/day, severe abdominal pain and laboratory markers of severity including -Hypoglycaemia defined as glucose <3.9 mmol/l, Hyperlactatemia (lactate >3 mmol/l), ALT/AST >400 U/l

Time to temperature <37.5 for 2 consecutive days

Lowest platelet count recorded during admission

Percentage increase will be calculated from peak result to baseline (baseline is follow-up time-point)

Percentage change in parameters such as: VCAM1, ICAM1, leptin, adiponectin, LDL, AMPK levels will be calculated from peak result to baseline (follow-up time-point)

Area under the curve (AUC) of the serial measurements during days 3 - 6 (log10-transformed), time from enrollment to the first undetectable viraemia, or the first negative NS1 measurement will be compared

Phenotyping CD8/4+T cell and NK cell and T cell exhaustion markers will be assessed

Anonymised data of this study may be requested for publication by journals. Sharing anonymised data with future similar/suitable studies will be decided by the sponsor, PIs and the authority agency where the data was collected. No identifiable information will be shared with any other person/organisation.

This is an open-label, two-phase dose escalation trial of metformin in overweight/obese patients with dengue compared to standard of care

A total of 35 healthy adult subjects, 30-50 years old with a range of BMI from 18 to 30 kg/m2, pre-screened to be receiving long term statin therapy of ≥ 6 months and negative for diabetes (defined as HbA1c <6.5%) will be enrolled upon written informed consent. They will receive a single dose of 0.5ml of Stamaril (live attenuated yellow fever vaccine)

Another 35 healthy non-diabetic adult subjects, 30-50 years old with a range of BMI from 18 to 30 kg/m2, not receiving long-term statins will serve as controls will be enrolled upon written informed consent.
They will receive a single dose of 0.5ml of Stamaril (live attenuated yellow fever vaccine)
