The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 60 weeks. All patients enrolled in the study will be receiving the standard treatment for Chronic Inflammatory Syndrome including hemodialysis and administration of a hypercaloric and hyperproteic diet. Efficacy assessment will be carried out 12 weeks after the end of Viusid or placebo treatment.
