Detailed Description
Approximately forty-eight (48) participants will be randomized 1:1 to receive (a) Intramuscular (IM) administration of CYT107 at 10 μg/kg followed, after 72hrs of observation, by 10 μg/kg twice a week for 3 weeks (maximum 7administrations adjusted to patient's length of stay in the hospital) or (b)Intramuscular (IM) placebo (normal saline) at the same frequency. The aim of the study is to test the ability of CYT107 to produce an immune reconstitution of these patients and observe possible association with a clinical improvement. This cohort excludes oncology patients on treatment
