    1

    Talactoferrin alfa (talactoferrin or TLF, also known as recombinant human lactoferrin, rhLF or talactoferrinum alfa) is a recombinant version of the glycoprotein expressed in and purified from Aspergillus niger var. awamori. Talactoferrin is structurally and functionally similar to native human lactoferrin. The structural equivalence of talactoferrin to native human lactoferrin has been demonstrated by a comparison of the 3-dimensional structure, molecular weight, biological activity and other physicochemical properties, and is known to differ only in the nature of glycosylation.

    Drug: Talactoferrin

  • Placebo comparator
    2

    Placebo contains the same phosphate-based buffer used as the diluent for the talactoferrin solution. In addition, the placebo will contain FD\&C/EU grade dyes suitable for oral use to mimic the color of the vialed drug product.

    Drug: Placebo

Interventions

  • DrugTalactoferrin

    Oral, 1.5 grams twice per day

    Also known as: talactoferrin alfa, TLF, recombinant human lactoferrin, rhLF

  • DrugPlacebo

    Oral, twice per day
