Study of the Clinical Effectiveness of a Human Monoclonal Antibody to C. Difficile Toxin A and Toxin B in Patients With Clostridium Difficile Associated Disease

Clostridium Infections Clinical Trial

Official title:
A Phase II Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study of the Clinical Effectiveness of a Human Monoclonal Antibody to Clostridium Difficile Toxin A (GS-CDA1) and a Human Monoclonal Antibody to Clostridium Difficile Toxin B (MDX-1388) in Patients Being Treated for Clostridium Difficile Associated Disease

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Patients with Clostridium difficile associated disease who fulfill the eligibility criteria will be approached to participate. All study patients must receive standard of care treatment for Clostridium difficile associated disease. Enrolled patients will be randomized to receive a single intravenous solution of a human monoclonal antibody (huMab) to C. difficile toxin A (GS-CDA1) combined with a human monoclonal antibody to C. difficile toxin B (MDX-1388) or 0.9% sodium chloride as placebo in a 1:1 treatment allocation. Patients will be evaluated for safety and clinical outcomes through day 84 +/- 10 days. Occurrence of adverse events, use of concomitant medications, and stool output will be assessed at scheduled phone contacts and study visits. Some patients enrolled will have a subsequent visit on day 168 ± 14 days.

Clinical Trial Description

This study is a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study in patients diagnosed with Clostridium difficile associated disease. Patients with Clostridium difficile associated disease will be identified either from stool test results or by physician referral, and those who fulfill the eligibility criteria will be approached to participate. All study patients must receive standard of care treatment for Clostridium difficile associated disease. Enrolled patients will be randomized to receive a single intravenous solution of a human monoclonal antibody to C. difficile toxin A (GS-CDA1) combined with a human monoclonal antibody to C. difficile toxin B (MDX-1388) or 0.9% sodium chloride as placebo in a 1:1 treatment allocation. One hundred patients will be enrolled in the combination monoclonal antibody treated arm and 100 patients will be enrolled in the placebo arm. Patients will be evaluated through day 84 ± 10 days after receipt of study infusion for safety and clinical outcomes. Blood samples for safety analyses, anti-toxin A and anti-toxin B antibody measurements and human anti-human antibody (HAHA) titers will be collected at scheduled times. Study visits will occur on days 3 ± 1, 10 ± 2, 28 ± 3, 56 ± 7 and on day 84 ± 10 days. Occurrence of adverse events, use of concomitant medications, and record of stool output will be assessed at scheduled phone contacts and study visits. The first 20 patients enrolled will have a subsequent visit on day 168 ± 14 days for an additional blood collection for HAHA analysis. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
