Brief summary
The aim of the study is to achieve prevention of COVID-19 disease in healthcare professionals with the administration of the IMUNOR® preparation, and decreasing the symptoms should the disease appear.
Detailed description
This prospective study is designed to collect data for evaluation of the preventive and therapeutic effect of the IMUNOR® preparation, which is commonly used to treat patients with laboratory or clinical manifestations of immunity disorders. Administration of immunomodulation treatment will be based upon a willing informed consent with the administration of the drug and based upon random selection. The study subjects will receive IMUNOR® preventively; the anticipated preventive effect when using one packing (4 vials) is 6 weeks, and 12 weeks when using two packings. Should any signs of acute illness appear (increased body temperature, cough, loss of smell and taste, etc.), a treatment dose of IMUNOR®, i.e. 1 vial/day (total of 4 vials) will be administered immediately. Monitoring of individual patients will take 6 weeks (1 packing) or 12 weeks (2 packings) from the beginning of IMUNOR® administration. The clinical condition of study subjects will be monitored on a daily basis. At the same time, the possible onset of symptoms will be recorded. The obtained data will be compared with a control group consisting of patients followed by the Department of Preventive Medicine, University Hospital Ostrava.
