Filter by:The study aims to describe the characteristics and the methods of management and follow-up of patients treated with fidaxomicin for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).
This is a Phase I, single center, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, multiple ascending dose study to evaluate the safety and tolerability of CRS3123, a methionyl-tRNA synthetase inhibitor. In this study, doses of 200, 400, and 600 mg, or 100mg are planned and will be given orally every 12 hours for 10 days. Up to 30 healthy male and female subjects 18 to 45 years, inclusive. The primary objective: of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of escalating doses of CRS3123 following oral administration of multiple doses to healthy adults. The study duration is 46 weeks.
The purpose of this research study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of a new oral antibiotic called SMT19969 in treating C. difficile Infection (CDI).
Acquiring diarrhoea in hospital is a serious problem and most frequently occurs when susceptible patients receive antibiotics as part of their (often life-saving) care. The commonest cause is Clostridium difficile - a bacterium that normally lives in up to a third of us but causes no problems. Rates of infection had been falling with increased awareness and improved hygiene but they are starting to creep up again. Clostridium difficile can cause a range of disease from a short-lived mild diarrhoea to severe disease of the bowel with major effects on the whole body and even death. This study aims to identify substances in the stool and in the blood to enable doctors to predict how severe that individual's disease will be. These tests can easily be performed. If they prove accurate in identifying the subsequent severity of the patient's illness due to Clostridium difficile, patients predicted to develop the worst disease can receive the most intensive treatments before they become too unwell to benefit. On the other hand, patients whose disease is predicted by these markers to run its course without causing serious consequences can be spared the side effects and risks of more intensive treatment.
The aim of this study is to test the efficacy of alanyl-glutamine supplementation in the treatment of C. difficile infection. We hypothesize that alanyl-glutamine when given with standard antibiotic treatment for C. difficile infection will decrease diarrhea, mortality and recurrent disease.
The study investigated the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of cadazolid in subjects with severe Clostridium difficile diarrhea (CDAD) and whether this influenced the quantity of cadazolid absorbed into the systemic circulation.
The colonic microbiome is essential in health and disease, and is highly dynamic during the first several years of life. Proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and histamine-2 receptor antagonists (H2RAs) are widely used in children, but the effects of PPIs and H2RAs on the pediatric colonic microbiome are unknown. This study will determine whether acid suppression with these medications affects the microbiome of otherwise healthy children who are prescribed acid suppression for gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), and determine the duration and magnitude of microbiome changes.
This clinical study is conducted to assess the efficacy of cadazolid compared to vancomycin in subjects with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).

Antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) and particularly Clostridium difficile-Infection (CDI) are the most common causes of healthcare associated infectious diarrhea. In light of the results obtained in a limited number of randomized clinical trials in subjects with AAD and CDI in comparison with the widespread occurrence of these diseases, it is felt that the addition of a well-controlled clinical trial in a western environment would add value to support the use of a specific probiotic to counteract these diseases.
