Se incluye un centro nuevo para conseguir el tamaño de la muestra establecido en el protocolo y no tener que solicitar una ampliación del periodo de reclutamiento.
Este estudio podría revelar que la mejora de inmunidad frente a estos virus se debe a un mecanismo de reconocimiento cruzado: Es concebible que la mejora de la respuesta frente a estos virus en individuos tratados con el producto se traduzca en cambios en la identidad y número (breath) de epítopos específicos de los virus que son reconocidos. Por ello, en este objetivo sintetizaremos epitopos solapantes correspondiente a las proteínas de la capside de una cepa de estos virus y mediante ensayos de producción de citocinas por ELISPOT determinaremos el número e identidad de los péptidos que son reconocidos en los individuos antes y a lo largo de las inmunizaciones. Los péptidos que sean objeto de reconocimiento se compararán con los proteomas de las bacterias incluidas en el producto. |

El Dr. Rafael Calderón deja de prestar sus servicios en el Hospital de Manises, y por tanto como Investigador Principal del ensayo. El nuevo Investigador Principal será la Dra. Mª José Palao Ortuño. Actualmente la Dra. Palao es Investigador Colaborador de este ensayo y desempeña las mismas funciones que el Investigador Principal.
Se amplía el periodo de reclutamiento a 3 años, debido a la imposibilidad de reclutar el nº de sujetos establecidos en el protocolo (120), en el periodo establecido de 2 años. Por ello también se amplía la duración del ensayo un año más. |
