Lactoferrin for heart failure with low iron
Part of Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial tests if a natural protein called lactoferrin can help heart failure patients who also have low iron levels. You need to have stable heart failure symptoms and be on standard heart medications.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old.
- You have chronic heart failure (for more than 6 months) with a reduced pumping ability (EF ≤ 40%).
- Your heart failure symptoms have been stable for at least 3 months, and you are on recommended heart medications.
- You have iron deficiency based on blood tests (low ferritin or low transferrin saturation).
- You have not taken any iron supplements in the last 3 months, and you haven't had a recent heart-related hospitalization or active infection.

This study tests whether intravenous iron can improve outcomes for people with non-ischemic heart failure and low ejection fraction who are also iron deficient. If you fit the criteria, you may receive iron infusions to see if it helps your heart function and symptoms.
This study compares two different doses of IV iron (low vs high) to see which works better for people with heart failure and low iron levels. It may help you feel less tired and breathe easier.
This study tests whether giving intravenous iron improves symptoms, quality of life, and exercise ability in people with heart failure and low iron levels. Participants will receive iron infusions and be monitored over time to see if their condition improves.
This trial tests whether a stabilized form of lactoferrin (a protein naturally found in milk) can help women with low iron stores absorb iron better. You may qualify if you have low iron but are not anemic, have a normal weight, and follow a few other health guidelines.
This trial tests whether giving intravenous iron to adults hospitalized with heart failure and low iron levels helps improve their health. You may be eligible if you have heart failure with reduced pumping function and low iron stores.
This study tests whether giving iron through a vein can help people with heart failure and low iron levels feel better. It compares iron treatment to no iron treatment.
