Clinical Outcomes of Patients With Clostridium Difficile Associated Disease Attributable to Diverse tcdC Genotypes
Description

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.

Skin Cleansing With Chlorhexidine to Decrease Hospital Acquired Infections
Description

Patients in the intensive care unit are at risk for many infections because the severity of illness and the procedures necessary to care for them. This study is designed to look at a change in bathing procedure as a method to reduce infections. Currently, patients at John H. Stroger Hospital are cleansed with soap and water. However, preliminary data from a previous study at Rush University Medical Center showed that a chlorhexidine (CHG)-impregnated cloth (2% CHG Antiseptic Cloth system, Sage Products, Inc.) decreased skin bacteria and may lessen bacteria in the blood stream. The 2% CHG Antiseptic Cloth system is a non-irritating, no-rinse, cleansing and moisturizing product that contains 2% chlorhexidine gluconate. The goal of this proposed study is to further evaluate the effectiveness of the 2% CHG Antiseptic Cloth system compared with soap and water in cleansing the skin and preventing bacteria from entering the bloodstream.

PROCLAIM -- Misoprostol in the Prevention of Recurrent CDI Prevent Recurrence of Clostridium Difficile Infection With Misoprostol
Description

A total of 440 patients meeting enrollment criteria with a primary episode of C. Difficile Infection (CDI) will be enrolled across 3 sites. The total study time period for study procedures followed by clinical monitoring is anticipated to be about 24 months (biomarker assays and other analyses may be completed after the 24 month time period). All participants will receive oral antibiotics for CDI under the care of their physician. After consenting to participate in the study, participants will be randomized to receive either misoprostol (200 mcg po BID) or matching placebo for 14 days. Participants will be monitored for a total time-period of approximately 9 weeks with the goal of monitoring for recurrence of CDI during an 8-week follow-up period from the time that the course of antibiotic treatment is completed. Patients will have blood and stool samples (or rectal swabs if participants are unable to provide a stool sample) collected throughout the study to assess adherence, biomarkers, and to confirm recurrence of CDI (if necessary).

COMPLETED
Comparison of Ridinilazole Versus Vancomycin Treatment for Clostridium Difficile Infection
Description

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.
