Phase 2

Completed

• Conditions: Replacement Therapy in Preterm Infants
• Interventions: Drug: Placebo; Drug: rhBSSL

• Registration Number: NCT00659243
• Lead Sponsor: Swedish Orphan Biovitrum

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy in preterm infants following treatment with BSSL when administered in pasteurized breast milk.

Detailed Description

In this double-blind crossover study, patients will be randomized to receive pasteurized breast milk including BSSL or pasteurized breast milk without BSSL for the first 7 days. After a wash-out period of 2 days the patients will "crossover" to the other treatment regimen and receive an additional 7 days treatment.
