Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate the benefit of a standardized immunotherapy (Interferon gamma) on the incidence of secondary infections. . It will also learn about the safety of Interferon-gamma. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does Interferon-gamma:

* reduces the Incidence of secondary infection episodes at three months
* reduces the ICU mortality and at Day 90
* reduces the ICU and hospital length of stay
* induces Biological immune restoration at Day 10
* has cost-consequence and cost-effectiveness

Researchers will compare Interferon-gamma to a placebo (a look-alike substance that contains no drug) to see if Interferon-gamma works to treat sustained immunosuppression .

Participants will:

* Take Interferon-Gamma or a placebo for a maximum of 5 times between day 1 and day 9
* be monitored evety day until their ICU discharge and at day 30, 60 and 90
