ECOSPOR III - SER-109 Versus Placebo in the Treatment of Adults With Recurrent Clostridium Difficile Infection — ECOSPORIII  

Clostridium Difficile Infection Clinical Trial

Official title: A Phase 3 Multicenter, RandomizeEd, Double Blind, Placebo COntrolled, Parallel Group Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, & Efficacy of SER-109 vs. Placebo to Reduce Recurrence of ClOstRidium Difficile Infection (CDI) in Adults

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Subjects will receive an oral dose of SER-109 in 4 capsules once daily for 3 consecutive days in Treatment Group I or matching placebo once daily for 3 consecutive days in Treatment Group II. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the superiority of SER-109 vs placebo to reduce recurrence of CDI as determined by a toxin assay in adults up to 8 weeks after initiation of treatment.

Clinical Trial Description

ECOSPOR III is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study of the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of SER-109 versus placebo in adult subjects 18 years of age or older with recurrent CDI, defined as: a history of ≥ 3 CDI episodes within 12 months, inclusive of the current episode. This study is designed to demonstrate the superiority of SER-109 versus placebo to reduce recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in adults who have received antibacterial drug treatment for recurrent CDI (RCDI), based on the proportion of subjects experiencing a CDI recurrence requiring antibiotic treatment up to 8 weeks after initiation of treatment. Approximately 188 subjects with a history of CDI, diarrhea and a positive C. difficile toxin test result on a stool sample, who have responded to standard-of-care (SOC) antibiotic treatment will be enrolled. Subjects will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to 1 of 2 treatment groups (Treatment Group I [SER-109] or Treatment Group II [Placebo]) and stratified by age (<65 years; ≥65 years), as well as antibiotic regimen for the qualifying episode (vancomycin; fidaxomicin). Subjects will receive an oral dose of SER-109 in 4 capsules once daily for 3 consecutive days in Treatment Group I or matching placebo once daily for 3 consecutive days in Treatment Group II. Subjects with confirmed CDI recurrence, as defined in the Protocol, up to 8 weeks after administration of SER-109 or placebo treatment, may be eligible to enroll in the open-label SER-109 extension study (Study SERES-013). ;
