The purpose of this study was to investigate the clinical response to fidaxomicin oral suspension or tablets and vancomycin oral liquid or capsules in pediatric participants with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD). It also investigated the recurrence/sustained clinical response to and safety of fidaxomicin and vancomycin, as well as acceptance of the fidaxomicin oral suspension formulation.

ICR for ages = 2 years to < 18 years was defined as improvement in number and character of bowel movements as determined by < 3 unformed bowel movements (UBMs) per day for 2 consecutive treatment days, remaining well until study drug discontinuation. CCR was defined for both age groups as not requiring further CDAD therapy within 2 days after study drug completion, and was reported with a positive (Yes) or negative (No) outcome. Resolution of diarrhea was assessed during interviews of participant/parent/legal guardian, supplemented by review of personal records (if hospitalized) and checked for presence of watery diarrhea (ages from birth to < 2 years) or number of UBMs (for ages = 2 years to < 18 years). | Up to day 12 | |

Participants with CCR at EOT+2 days, who completed the follow-up period but did not experience a recurrence of CDAD were censored at EOT+30 days and those who did not complete the follow-up period and discontinued during this period and did not experience a recurrence of CDAD were censored at day of discontinuation. | Up to day 40 | |
| Secondary | Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) | An adverse event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a study drug or who had undergone study procedures which did not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. This included abnormal laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram data or physical examinations that were defined as AEs if the abnormality induced clinical signs or symptoms, required active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study drug or was clinically significant in the investigator's opinion. The following standard with 3 grades was used to measure the severity of AEs, including abnormal clinical laboratory values: ? Mild: No disruption of normal daily activities ? Moderate: Affected normal daily activities ? Severe: Inability to perform daily activities. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) was defined as an AE observed after starting administration of the test drug/comparative drug. | From the first dose of study drug administration up to 30 days after EOT (up to day 40) | |
