Treatment of Sepsis with Talactoferrin

描述（由申请人提供）：严重脓毒症是全球发病率和死亡率的主要原因。它是美国非冠状动脉重症监护室（ICU）死亡的主要原因，每年发生超过75万例病例。这意味着在美国，每天有超过500名患者死于严重脓毒症，其中28%至50%的患者死于疾病过程，平均每位患者的费用为22，000美元。成功开发基于TLF的脓毒症治疗将满足显著未满足的医疗需求。Alcohnix现在已经建立了一种药物级talactoferrin的生产，它已经在各种适应症的临床研究中证明了其安全性，现在正在与FDA进行互动，以获得启动癌症临床3期研究的许可。因此，Talactoferrin的开发处于证明其在脓毒症中的临床功效将使治疗脓毒症的产品的产生处于相对容易和直接的路径的阶段。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Severe sepsis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality throughout the world. It is the leading cause of death in non-coronary intensive care units (ICUs) in the United States, with more than 750,000 cases occurring every year. This means that in the United States, more than 500 patients die from severe sepsis every day, with 28% to 50% of the patients succumbing to the disease process at an average cost of $22,000 per patient. Successful development of TLF-based therapy for sepsis would satisfy a significant unmet medical need. Agennix has now established a manufacture of a pharmaceutical-grade talactoferrin, it has demonstrated its safety in clinical studies for various indications, and is now interacting with the FDA to obtain a go-ahead to initiate clinical Phase 3 studies in cancer. The development of talactoferrin is therefore at a stage that a demonstration of its clinical efficacy in sepsis would put the generation of a product to treat sepsis on a relatively easy and straightforward path.
