Filter by:Cadazolid has demonstrated activity against a bacteria named Clostridium difficile in animal studies. The results of a first study conducted in adult patients have suggested efficacy of the new antibiotic, cadazolid, in the treatment of diarrhea caused by this bacteria. This is the first study of cadazolid in children. The overall purpose of this study is to provide reassurance on the safety and efficacy of cadazolid in children suffering from infection due to Clostridium difficile.
The Clover trial is evaluating an investigational vaccine that may help to prevent Clostridium difficile infection. Participants in the study are adults 50 years of age and older, who are at risk of developing Clostridium difficile infection. The study will assess whether the vaccine prevents the disease, and whether it is safe and well tolerated. Each subject will receive 3 doses of Clostridium difficile vaccine or placebo and be followed for up to 3 years after vaccination for potential Clostridium difficile infection.
This study will evaluate the safety and tolerability of IMM-529 together with standard of care (SOC) in patients with Clostridium-difficile Infection.
This study will randomized hematology oncology patients with active diarrhea and a NAAT positive/toxin EIA negative to either 14 days of oral vancomycin capsules or placebo. The study is designed to include 30 patients (15 per arm). Outcomes will include C. difficile load using qPCR, VRE loads, structural and functional microbiome changes and frequency of bowel movements. All endpoints will be measured at several time points including days 0, 14, 21 and 90.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether Fecal Microbiota Therapy (FMT) is effective vs. placebo in the prevention of C. difficile infection recurrence.
The goal of this study is to evaluate whether using vancomycin orally can prevent CDI in patients who are colonized with C. diff who are admitted to the hospital and need antibiotics for another infection.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of RBX7455 for the treatment of recurrent CDI in subjects who have had at least one recurrence after a primary episode (i.e., at least two episodes) and have completed at least two rounds of standard-of-care oral antibiotic therapy.
The primary purpose of this clinical investigation is to verify the performance of the GenePOC CDiff test on the GenePOC instrument. This will be achieved by comparing the GenePOC CDiff test to the Toxigenic Culture (TC) and cell cytotoxicity neutralisation assay (CCNA), a conventional method considered as gold standard for detection of toxigenic Clostridium difficile in stool specimens.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether a bundle of measures specifically designed for patients with ICD and applied by and Infectious Diseases expert during a year period (2017) will improve the prognosis and reduce the rate of recurrence, compared with the baseline phase (2015) in which no intervention was made.
During or after antibiotic treatment, antibiotic residues impair the intestinal microbiota (gut flora) and lead to adverse effects such as the emergence of bacterial resistance or the occurrence antibiotic-associated diarrhoea (AAD) including antibiotic-induced C. difficile infection (CDI). The spread of resistant Gram-negative bacteria and the increasing number and severity of CDI are considered as worldwide public health threats. Da Volterra is a biotechnology company developing a novel product, DAV132 (a medical device in Europe), intended to prevent these antibiotic adverse effects. Da Volterra is planning to carry out a phase 2-3 randomized controlled trial (RCT) of DAV132 in the prevention of antibiotic-induced CDI. The RCT will involve hospitalized patients aged ≥50 years old and treated with predefined antibiotic classes known to increase the risk of CDI. The incidence of CDI in this population is unknown, yet, incidence is an important determinant for the required sample size. Therefore, the main objective of the current study is to assess CDI incidence in patients ≥50 years of age treated with predefined antibiotic classes. In addition, to optimise the target population of the DAV132 RCT, the effect of the predefined antibiotic agents on the intestinal microbiota will be assessed. Furthermore, biomarkers predictive of CDI occurrence might help identify patients at high risk for the disease, which could further optimise the RCT. No validated biomarkers have been described in the literature yet. Assessment of potential biomarkers is another aim of the present study.
