Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Clinical Response (It will assess to a) No progression to Symptomatic State or higher of the disease in Asymptomatic patients and, b) No progression to a higher state of the disease (Moderate, Severe Pneumonia) and Resolution of symptoms in mild symptomatic patients). Measurement time: Day 7.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1) Immunogenicity (It will assess to a) specific anti-RBD IgG antibodies (geometric mean ) b) Proportion of subjects with seroconversion of anti-RBD IgG antibodies to SARS-CoV-2 (seroconversion will be considered as that = 2 times the initial determination of the antibody titer) Time measurement: on days 9 (48 hours after treatment), at 3 and 6 months. 2) Time to achieve virological response according to PCR Ex Nasopharyngeal (Time elapsed from the first positive PCR to the first negative PCR, (It will assess to a) geometric mean in both treatment groups.b) Proportion of patients with negative PCR). Measurement time: day 8 (48 hours after treatment) 3) Clinical Adverse Events (AE). They will be measured as: -Occurrence of AE (Yes, No), -Description of AE (name of event), -Intensity of AE (mild, moderate, severe), -Causality relationship (not related, doubtful, possible, probable, definitive), -Measures adopted (None, Administration of any pharmacological therapy, Addition of a non-pharmacological therapy, Exit of the study, Hospitalization / prolongation of hospitalization), -Result (Completely resolved, Resolved with sequelae, Conditions in improvement, Condition present and unchanged, Worsening, Death caused by this event)). Measurement time: daily throughout the study execution period (7 days).
