Health condition keyword:

COVID-19

SARS-CoV2

Intervention(s):

CIMAvax-EGF group (Experimental). The patients will receive 8 administrations of the product. Every administrationwill have a dose of 2.4 mg of the active principle of the therapeutic vaccine CIMAvax-EGF® (rhEGF-rP64k conjugate) in 1.2 mL of the injection (vaccine in aqueous phase plus Montanide ISA 51 VG) intramuscularly. The total dose will be divided into 4 subdoses, equivalent to 0.6 mg of EGF at each site of inoculation (both deltoid regions and both glutes). During the induction phase they will receive 4 administrations, one every 14 days. They will then receive 4 doses during the maintenance phase, one dose every 28 days, until 6 months of treatment are completed. Control group: Conventional treatment for this type of postCOVID-19 disorder in Cuba for the duration of the study. This treatment may include bronchodilator drugs, steroids, oxygen therapy, hypotensive drugs in case of pulmonary hypertension and respiratory rehabilitation, among others considered by the specialized personnel in the care of these patients. In each group the patients will be divided into two strata: Stratum 1: Patients with pulmonary fibrosis Stratum 2: Patients with any other respiratory disorder without pulmonary fibrosis

Intervention code:

Immunotherapy, Active

Epidermal Growth Factor

Injections, Intramuscular

Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

Grade 3, 4 or 5 toxicity attributable to the therapeutic vaccine CIMAvax-EGF® (Occurrence of adverse events (AE) with severity grade 3 (severe), 4 (serious that threat or incapacitating) or 5 (serious that produces death) with a Causality relationship attributable to the product (definitive, very probable, probable, possible)). Measurement time: 6 months.

Key secondary outcomes:

Safety: 1. Occurrence of any AE (Yes, No). Measurement time: 6 months. 2. Adverse event description (Name of the adverse event). Measurement time: 6 months. 3. Duration of the adverse event (Difference between the start date and the stop of the event). Measurement time: 6 months. 4. Intensity of AE (1. Light, 2. Moderate 3. Severe, 5. Very severe 5. Death, according to Common Toxicity Criteria (CTCAE) version 5.0). Measurement time: 6 months. 5. Causality relationship (.Definitive, 2.Very likely, 3.Likely, 4.Possible, 5.Unlikely, 6.Unrelated, 7.Unknown). Measurement time: 6 months. 6. Gravity (Seriousness) of AE (Critical event / No serious. Serious event (seriously) be considered as causing the death of the patient, life-threatening, results in hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, causes disability / persistent or significant disability, birth defects or congenital anomalies or an important medical event that according to medical judgment, could endanger the health of the patient or may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent the occurrence of any of the previously listed outcomes). Measurement time: 6 months. 7. Attitude towards drug (1. No change 2. Dose reduction 3. Temporary discontinuation of treatment. 4. Definitive Treatment discontinuation). Measurement time: 6 months. 8. Outcome of the AE (1. Reversible effect, 2. Effect 3. Death 4. Irreversible loss of patient monitoring). Measurement time: 6 months. Effect: 1. Response to treatment (It will measure through the variation of forced vital capacity (FVC) in the categories favorable or unfavorable. It will be consider favorable response when FVC does not vary or is reduced by less than 10% in patients with pulmonary fibrosis and does not vary or is reduced by less than 5% in patients with another respiratory disorder with respect to the initial measurement. Unfavorable response: when FVC is reduced more than 10% with respect to the initial measurement in patients with pulmonary fibrosis, and more than 5% in patients with another respiratory disorder). Measurement time: days 63 and 182. 2. Maximum expiratory volume-VEM (It is the fraction of the forced vital capacity that can expire in the first second in a forced expiration after a maximum inspiration, observed value in ml). Measurement time: days 0, 63 and 182. 3. Number of lesions (number of lesions that the patient presents at each moment of evaluation, measured by CT). Measurement time: days 0, 63 and 182. 4.

Lesion location: In the right lung (Upper lobe: anterior, posterior or apical, Middle lobe: medial or lateral, or Lower lobe: apical, anterior, posterior, internal, external).
