Men and women of childbearing potential must use adequate birth control measures for the duration of the study and should continue such precautions for six months after receiving the last injection of AIMSPRO®.
The screening laboratory test results must meet the following minimum criteria:
Haemoglobin 8.5 g/dL
WBC 3.5 x 109/L
Neutrophils 1.5 x 109/L
Platelets 100 x 109/L
AST and alkaline phosphatase levels must be greater than 2 x ULN for the laboratory conducting the test.
Able to adhere to the study visit schedule and other protocol requirements.
Able voluntarily to give written informed consent.
Are the trial subjects under 18? no
Number of subjects for this age range:
F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
