E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
Comparison of the efficacy of the treatment on fatigue severity at the end of the treatment between the 2LEBV® or the 2LXFS®/2LEBV® group versus the placebo group. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- Comparison of the efficacy of the treatment on other dimensions of the CIS questionnaire (other than fatigue) at the end of the treatment (V4) between the 2LEBV® or the 2LXFS®/2LEBV® group versus the placebo group - Comparison of the efficacy of the treatment on fatigue severity and other dimensions of the CIS questionnaire at 3 months (V3) and 12 months (V5) between the 2LEBV® or the 2LXFS®/2LEBV® group versus the placebo group. - Comparison of the efficacy of the treatment on other symptoms related to EBV infection and their duration between the 2LEBV® and 2LXFS®/2LEBV® group versus the placebo group at V3, V4 and V5. - Comparison of the evolution of the lymphocytes typing between the 2LEBV® and 2LXFS®/2LEBV® group versus the placebo group at each visit until V5. - Comparison of the evolution on IgG between the 2LEBV® and 2LXFS®/2LEBV® group versus the placebo group between V0, V1 and V4 - Safety issues.
