Filter by:This study proposes to: 1. Characterize the impact of oral vancomycin on C. difficile loads after end of treatment compared to a placebo group. 2. Determine the effect of oral vancomycin on structural and functional microbiome changes after end of treatment compared to a placebo group. 3. Characterize the impact of oral vancomycin against a placebo group on the daily frequency of loose stools by the end of treatment.
The objective of this Phase IIa study is to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of incremental doses of MGB-BP-3 in patients with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of VE303 for participants with primary C. difficile infection (pCDI) at high risk for recurrence or subjects with recurrent C. difficile infections (rCDI).
The purpose of this study is to determine the safe use and evaluate the efficacy/performance of DAV132 in hospitalized patients at high risk for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and who receive fluoroquinolones (FQs) for the treatment of acute infections or for prophylaxis of febrile neutropenia.
The primary objective of this study is to compare the gut microbiota and clinical outcomes of oral FMT during antibiotic treatment, immediately following antibiotic treatment, and placebo. The second objective is to assess the safety and feasibility of daily oral Fecal Microbiome Transplant (FMT) as a treatment option.
Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) is the most common cause of antibiotic associated diarrhoea in the western world. The infection causes significant diarrhoea, which in some cases can be serious and lead to secondary complications and even death. The infection is particularly an issue in elderly, frail patient, who are often already burdened with several other medical issues. Recent work has demonstrated that numerous cases are missed, either due to inadequate diagnostic tests or lack of clinical suspicion. The public-private partnership in COMBACTE-CDI will quantify the burden of CDI via a large, complex, multi-centre, multi-country study, and describe current management practices. An increased understanding of the CDI burden across Europe and better understanding of transmission of the organism will provide a basis for the further development of public health interventions and practices. Based on a previous successful study model (EUCLID), hospitals/laboratories of interest which carry out diagnostic testing of samples from both in-patients and community patients (including Long-Term Care Facilities patients) will be approached for inclusion in the study. Samples sent to the sites on the selected study date (regardless of test requested) will be tested at a central laboratory for CDI to look for missed cases of CDI. A follow up case/control study will collect data on outcomes and risk factors. Data will be used to construct transmission models and cost effective-ness models. Ultimately, a best practice model for CDI management will be developed.
This is an open-label study evaluating the safety and efficacy of CP101 treatment in 1) Subjects in CDI-001 who had a CDI recurrence within 8 weeks of receiving CP101 or placebo; OR 2) adults with recurrent CDI who are eligible for direct study entry into CP101-CDI-E02. Subjects who are experiencing recurrent CDI will undergo screening procedures. Subjects who meet eligibility criteria will be eligible to be enrolled in he study and administered CP101. Approximately 200 subjects will receive CP101. The treatment duration will be 1 day. Subjects will be monitored for recurrence of CDI, safety, and tolerability for 24 weeks following receipt of CP101. The primary efficacy and safety endpoints will be evaluated at 8 weeks post treatment, and all subjects will continue to be followed for an additional 16 weeks for safety and recurrence of CDI.
This study will assess the efficacy of oral vancomycin prophylaxis in preventing recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in hospitalized patients requiring oral or intravenous antibiotics for a suspected or confirmed bacterial infection.
This study evaluates the efficacy of prophylaxis with oral vancomycin for preventing recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) in patients who have experienced at least one CDI episode in the last 180 days and are receiving antibiotics for a non CDI condition. Participants will be randomized to receive either placebo or oral vancomycin in addition to their prescribed antibiotic therapy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the risks and benefits of antibiotic treatment for Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) among patients whose stool samples are nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) positive and enzyme immunoassay (EIA) negative for C. difficile. Currently, healthcare facilities use a wide variety of tests and strategies for identifying patients with CDI; both EIA and NAAT are widely used. There is no clear gold standard for identifying CDI. At WUSM and BJH, patients are only treated for CDI if they have a positive EIA. However, at many other healthcare facilities, the standard of care is to treat for CDI if the patient is NAAT positive. Some patients who are NAAT-positive may not have true CDI; while this treatment is standard of care at many facilities, the risk and benefits of treating these patients for CDI is unknown. We propose to perform a double blinded, randomized controlled non-inferiority trial of antimicrobial of patients who are EIA negative, NAAT positive to determine the risks and benefits of CDI treatment in this population.
