Study Groups

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

Lactoferrin

Patients in the prophylaxis group will receive, in addition to standard treatment, a orodispersible formulation of bovine lactoferrin or bLF (Mosiac®) at the standard dose of 200 mg/day, in single administration, from the start of chemotherapy treatment and for the duration of the risk period.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Lactoferrin Bovine

Intervention Type DIETARY_SUPPLEMENT

In addition to standard treatment, a gold-soluble formulation of bovine lactoferrin or bLF (Mosiac®) at the standard dose of 200 mg/day, in single administration, from the start of chemo/radiotherapy treatment and throughout the risk period.

Placebo

Patients in the control group will receive only the standard treatment provided by their clinical center with placebo added from the start of chemo/radiotherapy treatment and throughout the duration of the risk period.
