Conditions
Brief summary
The purpose of this trial is to assess the effect of immunotherapy with the bacterial preparation MV130 on the spread and course of SARS-CoV-2 infection in highly exposed subjets, as is the case with healthcare personnel.
Detailed description
This is a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial to assess the efficacy of BACMUNE (MV130) in the prevention of disease due to SARS-VoC-2 infection in healthcare personnel
Interventions
BACMUNE (MV130) is a bacterial preparation that contains a mixture of Gram + and Gram - inactivated bacteria at the concentration of 300 FTU / mL (approx. 10\^9 bacteria / mL)
