Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Pharmacokinetics of Tigecycline Along With Standard Treatments for Clostridium Difficile
Serum levels of tigecycline
Mean (SD) Minimun Inhibitory Concentration of Tigecycline of Clostridium Difficile Isolates
Mean (SD) Serum Tigecycline Concentration Level
Blood samples were obtained from each patient at the end of a dosing interval (trough concentration) on day 3 of tigecycline therapy. Serum concentrations were determined with the use of a validated high-performance liquid chromatography assay.
Mean (SD) Stool Tigecycline Concentration Level
Fecal samples were obtained from each patient at the end of a dosing interval (trough concentration) on day 3 of tigecycline therapy. Fecal concentrations were determined with the use of a validated high-performance liquid chromatography assay

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
This is a prospective, non-comparative, interventional, observational pilot study of the safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) tigecycline in conjunction with standard oral therapy in patients with known mild to severe confirmed Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD).
Detailed Description
The intervention is adding Tigecycline (standard doses) to standard oral therapy for CDAD. Patients will then be observed for clinical outcomes and relapse of CDAD.

Intervention Type
Drug
Intervention Name(s)
Tigecycline
Other Intervention Name(s)
Tygacil
Intervention Description
: Standard treatment doses of oral antibiotics (vancomycin or metronidazole) for CDAD along with IV tigecycline (100 milligram loading dose followed by 50 milligrams every 12 hours) will be given to patients during their hospitalization (usually 7-14 days). Patients well enough to go home will receive only oral therapy.
