Filter by:An open-label Phase 1 Study Assessing the Safety, Immunogenicity and Dose Response of IC84, A new vaccine against Clostridium Difficile (C. difficile), In healthy subjects
The purpose of this study is to determine if the daily intake of the probiotic Lactobacillus reuteri prevents antibiotic-associated diarrhoea and related Clostridium difficile infections in children and adolescents.
The objectives of this study are: (1) to evaluate the safety and tolerability of VP 20621 dosed orally for up to 14 days in adults previously treated for CDI; (2) to characterize the frequency and duration of stool colonization with the VP 20621 strain of C. difficile; (3) to evaluate the efficacy of VP 20621 for prevention of recurrence of CDI; and (4)to select a dose regimen of VP 20621 to be used in future studies.
This study will investigate whether: 1) treatment with MK-3415A in addition to standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy will decrease Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) recurrence as compared to treatment with MK-6072 or MK-3415, 2) treatment with MK-3415A, MK-6072, or MK-3415, in addition to SOC antibiotic therapy will decrease CDI recurrence as compared to placebo, and 3) MK-3415A, MK-6072, and MK-3415 will be generally well tolerated in participants receiving SOC therapy for CDI as compared to placebo.
This study will further evaluate the ACAM-CDIFF™ vaccine in a population of middle-aged to elderly individuals at risk of exposure to Clostridium difficile because of impending hospitalization or residence in a care facility. Primary Objectives: - To describe the safety profile of subjects in each of the study groups. - To describe the immune responses elicited by toxoid A and toxoid B of subjects in each of the study groups. Observational Objective: - To describe the occurrence of first-time Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) episodes.
Cadazolid is a new antibiotic developed for the treatment of Clostridiun difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD), also known as Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different doses of cadazolid in order to find the dose of cadazolid to be used for further clinical development of the compound in subjects with CDAD.
This is a randomized, double-blind, single-placebo, active-controlled, dose ranging parallel group design with 3 arms. Two dose regimens of CB-183,315 dosed twice daily will be compared with the active comparator oral vancomycin (125 milligrams (mg ) four times daily). Participants with diarrhea at risk for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) [for example, received prior or concomitant antibiotic(s)] will be identified and tested for C. difficile toxin in stool using an enzyme immunoassay (EIA), or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) per the usual standard of care. Eligible participants will be consented, undergo baseline evaluations, and will be randomized in a blinded fashion to one of 3 treatment arms. Participants will be randomized to receive either 125 mg CB-183,315 twice daily alternating with placebo tablets twice daily, 250 mg CB-183,315 twice daily alternating with placebo tablets twice daily or 125 mg oral vancomycin four times dailyover a period of 10 days in a 1:1:1 fashion.
Patients with confirmed C. difficile infection (CDI) who meet eligibility requirements will be invited to participate. All study patients must receive treatment for CDI with metronidazole or vancomycin. Enrolled patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive MIYA-BM Fines Granules [Clostridium butyricum MIYAIRI 588 Strain (CBM588)] or a placebo orally twice a day for 42 days. Patients will be evaluated for safety and clinical outcomes through Day 180. Occurrence of adverse events (AEs), diarrhea history, and concomitant medications will be evaluated at scheduled study visits and telephone contacts.
This Phase I, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blinded, dose ranging study to assess the safety, tolerability, and immunogenicity of 2 dose levels of C. difficile vaccine. Population: healthy male and female adults, 18 to 55 years old.
Primary objective: To compare the event rate of CDI in groups assigned to ACAM-CDIFF™ vaccine versus placebo in the 9 week period after the third dose of the study vaccine in subjects with first episode of CDI receiving antibiotics standard of care. Secondary objective: To evaluate the safety of all dose groups of ACAM-CDIFF™ vaccine versus placebo in subjects with first episode of CDI receiving antibiotics standard of care.
