25 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
C-diff infection often causes belly pain and diarrhea and can be very hard to treat with medicine. One of the possible reasons that C-diff infection is hard to treat is because there is too much "bad" bacteria in the colon. Investigators believe that putting more "good" bacteria into the colon will help fight the "bad" bacteria. We do this by doing a fecal (poop) transplant. Fecal transplant has been done at other hospitals, but not at Nationwide Children's Hospital. Since our Investigators have not done this before, this study will help us learn the best way to do the transplant. Investigators also believe this transplant might help improve symptoms for patients with C-diff.
The purpose of this study is to learn more about infection by Clostridium difficile (also known as C. difficile). C. difficile is a common bacterium (a germ that may cause disease) that can live in the human gut. Some people have it without having any symptoms. In other people it can cause illness ranging from mild diarrhea to severe colitis (infection of the colon). C. difficile makes toxins that damage the cells that line the colon. The study doctors want to find out how these toxins cause damage to the cells in the colon.
The objective of this study is to provide treatment with Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT) to patients with recurrent or refractory Clostridium difficile infection (CDI). It has been shown that good bacteria (like that found in the stool from a healthy donor) attack Clostridium difficile in multiple ways: they make substances that kill Clostridium difficile - and they attach to the surface of the colon lining, which prevents the Clostridium difficile toxin (poison) from attaching. FMT involves infusing a mixture of saline and stool from a healthy donor into the bowel of the patient with CDI during a colonoscopy. The method used to deliver the FMT will depend on individual characteristics of the subject and is at the discretion of the treating physician. FMT may be administered by the following methods. * Colonoscopy: This method allows full endoscopic examination of the colon and exclusion of comorbid conditions (such as IBD, malignancy or microscopic colitis) which may have an impact on subject's treatment or response to therapy. * Sigmoidoscopy: This method still allows infusion of the stool into a more proximal segment of the colon than an enema, but may not require sedation. This method may be beneficial in subjects who are elderly or multiparous and who may have difficulty retaining the material when given as enema. Sigmoidoscopic administration eliminates the additional risks associated with colonoscopy in subjects who may not have a clear indication for colonoscopy. * Retention enema: This method may be preferable in younger subjects who have already had recent endoscopic evaluation, in subjects who prefer not to undergo endoscopy or in subjects with significant co morbidities and may not tolerate endoscopy. The physician will administer 300-500 mL of the fecal suspension in aliquots of 60 mL, through the colonoscope or sigmoidoscope or 150 mL via retention enema. In cases of colonoscopic delivery, the material will be delivered to the most proximal point of insertion. The subject is encouraged to retain stool for as long as possible.
The overall objective of the RESTORATiVE303 study is to evaluate the safety and the Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recurrence rate at Week 8 in participants who receive a 14-day course of VE303 or matching placebo. The objectives and endpoints are identical for Stage 1 (recurrent CDI) and Stage 2 (high-risk primary CDI).
The study will compare the effectiveness of Bezlotoxumab in individuals with active C. diff ( Clostridium difficile) infection who are diagnosed with Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
This is a Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Phase 3 Trial of the Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability of a Single Oral Administration of CP101 for the Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection (PRISM4). This Phase 3 trial will be conducted in 2 parts: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial arm and an optional open-label treatment arm. After completing standard-of-care (SOC) CDI antibiotics for their most recent CDI recurrence, patients who meet all eligibility requirements will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio to receive either CP101 or placebo. Patients will be evaluated for CDI recurrence and safety follow-up through Week 8, the primary endpoint, as well as through Week 24. Patients who qualify may enroll into the optional open label arm if they experience CDI recurrence through week 8.
This trial will be initiated to explore whether RBX2660 (REBYOTA®) could be suitable for administration by the practice of colonoscopy. More specifically, the purpose of this trial is to explore the safety and clinical effectiveness of RBX2660 when delivered by colonoscopy to adults with rCDI. The experience of physicians will be documented through a physician-experience questionnaire to explore the usability of RBX2660 in clinical practice for colonoscopic administration. Furthermore, to explore the patient-experience of RBX2660 treatment, each trial participant will be offered to undergo a structured interview.
This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label Phase 3 study of a microbiota suspension of intestinal microbes. Patients who have had at least one recurrence of CDI after a primary episode and have completed at least one round of standard-of-care oral antibiotic therapy or have had at least two episodes of severe CDI resulting in hospitalization may be eligible for the study. Subjects may receive a second RBX2660 enema if they are deemed treatment failures following the initial enema per the protocol-specified treatment failure definition.
This is a research study to collect information from people that have Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) and are treated with a standard antibiotic treatment in which the antibiotic dose is gradually reduced over 6 weeks and bezlotoxumab (BEZLO), an approved monoclonal antibody targeting C. difficile toxin, which has shown to reduce CID recurrence when used in combination with standard antibiotic treatment.
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).
Summit is developing ridinilazole as a novel antimicrobial for Clostridioides difficile Infection (CDI), formerly known as Clostridium difficile Infection, with the goal of demonstrating an improved Sustained Clinical Response rate in subjects treated with ridinilazole as compared to subjects treated with vancomycin. A phase 2 proof of concept study, with vancomycin as comparator, demonstrated these attributes with a comparable safety profile. A high fecal concentration of ridinilazole and little systemic exposure were noted. The rationale for this phase 3 study is to confirm the improvement in sustained clinical response of CDI over vancomycin and to compare the safety and tolerability of ridinilazole to that of vancomycin. Ridinilazole plasma concentration will be assessed in a subset of patients.
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 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.
Purpose: To study the changes in the microbiome and stool composition in patients with Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) who undergo Fecal Microbiota Transplantation (FMT), along with changes in their clinical characteristics.
Subjects with recurrent C. difficile infection will receive an oral dose of CP101 capsules one time in Treatment Group I or matching placebo one time in Treatment Group II. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of CP101 to prevent recurrence of C. difficile. Subjects with confirmed C. difficile recurrence within 8 weeks after administration of study drug (CP101 or placebo) may be eligible to enroll in the open-label extension study (CP101-CDI-E02) and will receive CP101.
The study will involve administering a single dose of investigational drug or placebo in ascending dose cohorts. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of investigational drug as well as the efficacy of investigational drug versus placebo in adults with primary (first episode) Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).
This study will evaluate efficacy and safety information about RBX2660 for the treatment of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), and will compare the efficacy of one treatment with RBX2660 versus antibiotic-treated historical controls. Enrolled subjects will receive one treatment consisting of two doses of RBX2660 (microbiota suspension).
A Phase 2b Parallel-Group, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multicenter Study of SYN-004 Compared to Placebo for the Prevention of Clostridium difficile Infection (CDI) in Hospitalized Patients receiving IV ceftriaxone with a Diagnosis of a Lower Respiratory Tract Infection (LRTI).
This is the first prospective, multi-center, double-blinded, randomized controlled study of a microbiota suspension derived from intestinal microbes. Patients who have had at least two recurrences of C. difficile infection (CDI) after a primary episode and have completed at least two rounds of standard-of-care oral antibiotic therapy or have had at least two episodes of severe CDI resulting in hospitalization may be eligible for the study. Patients whose CDI returns in less than 8 weeks after the last assigned study treatment may be eligible to receive up to 2 treatments with RBX2660 in the open-label portion of the study.
Study to evaluate the safety of ridinilazole in adolescent subjects and how ridinilazole is metabolized.
This study evaluates the role of oral vancomycin in the prevention of recurrent Clostridium difficile for hospitalized patients receiving systemic antibiotic therapy. Half of participants will receive oral vancomycin daily, while the other half will receive a placebo.
The purpose of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of Fecal Microbiota Transplant (FMT) for the treatment of the recurrence of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) as compared to standard antibiotic therapy. Patients who have tested positive for CDI within 90 days of an admission for relapse of CDI will be approached to participate in this open-label, randomized controlled trial. Patients will either be randomized to the intervention group (receive FMT via retention enema) or the control group (receive antimicrobials targeting CDI).
This study will assess the safety of a new biologic drug, RBX2660 (microbiota suspension) as a treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), which is the primary symptom of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. All eligible subjects will receive RBX2660.
The purpose of the study is to establish the clinical disease outcomes and features of CDAD associated with variant tcdC genotypes. Two hypotheses are to be tested in this study: 1. Severe CDAD and tcdC truncation: Severe CDAD (defined by death and/or colectomy or secondary endpoints) is associated with severe truncations (\> 6 amino acid residues) in TcdC, a negative regulator of toxin A/B production. 2. Disease in low risk populations (patients never exposed to health care facilities and/or patients who never received antibiotics) of any severity is attributable to strains of C. difficile with severe tcdC truncation.
The purpose of this study is to assess the treatment and safety of a 10-day course of rifaximin (Xifaxan) as compared to vancomycin for treatment of Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).
