Clinical Trial Summary

A total of 440 patients meeting enrollment criteria with a primary episode of C. Difficile Infection (CDI) will be enrolled across 3 sites. The total study time period for study procedures followed by clinical monitoring is anticipated to be about 24 months (biomarker assays and other analyses may be completed after the 24 month time period). All participants will receive oral antibiotics for CDI under the care of their physician. After consenting to participate in the study, participants will be randomized to receive either misoprostol (200 mcg po BID) or matching placebo for 14 days. Participants will be monitored for a total time-period of approximately 9 weeks with the goal of monitoring for recurrence of CDI during an 8-week follow-up period from the time that the course of antibiotic treatment is completed. Patients will have blood and stool samples (or rectal swabs if participants are unable to provide a stool sample) collected throughout the study to assess adherence, biomarkers, and to confirm recurrence of CDI (if necessary).
