5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The objective of this Phase III, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients with immunologic deficiency is to determine the effect of isoprinosine in producing an immuno-restorative response within the study observation period (including the 2-month period following cessation of the 28 days of treatment), measured by one or more of the following immunologic parameters: Increase in natural killer (NK) cell activity. Increase in total T-cells (OKT-11). Increases in absolute number and percentages of T-helper cells (OKT-4).
