Filter by:Study to evaluate the safety of ridinilazole in adolescent subjects and how ridinilazole is metabolized.
Aim: To investigate if host factors, such as composition and diversity of intestinal microbiota and/or genetic determinants, are associated with a higher risk of recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI). To generate a predictive tool based on epidemiological, clinical, genetic and microbiologic variables aimed to identify patients at a higher risk of CDI recurrence in a context of optimized ICD management. Design: Multicenter prospective cohort study. Patients: Older than 18 years patients with CDI diagnosis, made by IDSA criteria, in the participant centers. Follow-up: A stewarship program aimed to improve CDI management, including early detection of CDI recurrence, will be implemented in the participant centers. Blood samples for genetic testing and stool samples for intestinal microbiome studies will be collected. Variables and data analysis: The primary outcome variable will be the emergence of CDI recurrence. Potential independent predictors of recurrence, including genetic and microbiological factors, will be assessed. A predictive tool based on independent predictors of recurrence will be built in a development subpopulation. The performance of the model will be assessed by ROC curves, and sensititvity, especificity, as well as negative and positive predictive values will be calculated, both in the development subpopulation and in a validation subset.
The purpose of this research is to evaluate the primary objectives of safety and efficacy (rate of clinical cure) of 2 dosages of CRS3123 (200 mg and 400 mg) administered orally (po) twice daily (bid) and vancomycin administered 125 mg PO 4 times daily (qid) in adults > or equal to 18 years of age with a primary episode or first recurrence of CDI. The study will investigate the plasma concentrations and HRQoL outcomes of CRS3123 and additional efficacy endpoints as secondary objectives.
This is a single center, randomized, parallel assignment, double-blinded, efficacy and safety study to be conducted in subjects with recurrent C. difficile Infection (RCDI). Approximately 200 subjects will be enrolled in the study and randomized at 1:1 ratio to receive lyophilized intestinal bacteria obtained from either single or three donors (group 1 receiving healthy microbiota collected from single donor 90g stool for 2 consecutive days; group 2 receiving healthy microbiota collected from three donors 90g stool for 2 consecutive days). All subjects will be followed for approximately 180 days following FMT treatment for safety.
BEYOND is aiming to demonstrate how by enrichment of the available SPECIFY score, patients at great likelihood for CDI with unfavorable outcome are early detected
This is a prospective, clinical, multicentre study aimed to collect biological samples and study microbiota from subjects with Clostridium Difficile (CDI), subjects affected by Multi Drug Resistant Organisms (MDRO) infection, subjects with Chronic Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), subjects with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), subjects with Hepatic Encephalopathy and from healthy volunteers. Microbiota is a complex consortium of microorganisms, located at the mucosal level (in particular intestinal, oral and vaginal) having a key role in human health and in the onset of several diseases. Microbiota alterations have been found in several diseases (gastrointestinal, metabolic, renal, oncological, gynaecological) The study will allow to: - Provide biological samples (faeces, saliva, blood, urine) from healthy volunteers and patients to the first Italian microbiota biobank; - Study microorganisms using different in vitro and in vivo techniques; - Study the link between the microbiota and the disease. This study is part of the BIOMIS project (Project Code: ARS01_01220), presented as part of the "Avviso per la presentazione di progetti di ricerca industriale e sviluppo sperimentale nelle 12 aree di specializzazione individuate dal PNR 2015-2020" and admitted to funding under the National Operational Program "Ricerca e Innovazione" 2014-2020 by directorial decree of MIUR - Department for Higher Education and Research - n. 2298 of 12 September 2018. BIOMIS includes several clinical studies that enrol patients with different pathologies to collect and store biological samples and study microbiota.
The study is being done to identify types of bacteria associated with the lining of the large intestine in people who have recently been diagnosed with C. difficile infection to determine if there are features associated with development, clearance, and recurrence of disease.
The study is being done to identify types of bacteria associated with the lining of the large intestine in people who have recently been treated for C. difficile infection to determine if there are features associated with recurrent disease.
This research is being done to study the ability of C. difficile to colonize the colonic mucosa of individuals with no prior history of C. difficile infection.
The study will compare the effectiveness of Bezlotoxumab in individuals with active C. diff ( Clostridium difficile) infection who are diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
