NCT00978224

Brief Summary

The purpose of the study is to determine whether Viusid administration improves malnutrition, atherosclerosis, erythropoietin response and the frequency of infection episodes in subjects with Chronic Inflammatory Syndrome under hemodialysis treatment. The duration of this double-blind placebo controlled phase 3 clinical trial will be 60 weeks. All patients enrolled in the study will be receiving the standard treatment for Chronic Inflammatory Syndrome including hemodialysis and administration of a hypercaloric and hyperproteic diet. Efficacy assessment will be carried out 12 weeks after the end of Viusid or placebo treatment.
