Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Local and systemic reaction to administration procedure
29 days

* Pain in administration area will be assessed by a visual analogical scale. * Medical exploration of the administration area will be performed to identify any skin reaction. * Inguinal scan will be performed to assess any lymphatic node modification. * Systemic tolerability will be measured by number of AE (Adverse Event) recorded at any time, including any alteration in laboratory parameters and/or physical exploration.
