Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Group RUTI

Participants will receive two dose of RUTI® vaccine at the baseline visit and after 2 weeks +/- 3 days, which will be administered subcutaneously in the deltoid region at a dose of 25 µg of fragmented, purified and liposomed heat-inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli in an injection volume of 0.3 mL.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

RUTI® vaccine

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Each dose of the RUTI® vaccine contains 25 µg of fragmented, purified and liposomed heat-inactivated Mycobacterium tuberculosis bacilli in a total volum of 0,3mL.

Group Placebo

Participants will receive two dose of physiological serum will be administered subcutaneously in the deltoid region at the baseline visit and after 2 weeks +/- 3 days.

Group Type PLACEBO_COMPARATOR

Placebo

Intervention Type BIOLOGICAL

Physiological serum, 0.9% NaCl, will be used as a placebo.
