Clinical response was defined as those subjects who have no recurrence of CDAD through Day 30 after completing treatment for recurrent CDAD. CDAD was defined as bowel movements as determined by >=3 unformed stools (soft or watery) within 24 consecutive hours and a positive PCR test for Clostridium difficile.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Number of Recurrences of Clostridium Difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) After Completing Treatment for Recurrent CDAD
Recurrence was defined as the re-establishment of diarrhea (frequency of passed unformed stools, >=3 unformed stools within 24 consecutive hours) with a positive PCR test for C. difficile.
Number of Recurrences of Clostridium Difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) After Completing Treatment for Recurrent CDAD
Recurrence was defined as the re-establishment of diarrhea (frequency of passed unformed stools, >=3 unformed stools within 24 consecutive hours) with a positive PCR test for C. difficile.
Proportion of Participants With Sustained Clinical Response
Sustained clinical response is defined as those subjects who responded by Day 30 with no recurrence of CDAD through Day 60 after randomization.
Time to First Clostridium Difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) Reoccurrence (Using the Date of First Positive PCR Post-enema)

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
Multi-center, randomized, placebo controlled, partially blinded trial comparing the safety and efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation versus placebo both delivered by rectal enema in subjects 18 years of age or older with recurrent Clostridium difficile Associated Disease (CDAD). 162 male or female subjects will be enrolled in the study. Enrolled subjects will be randomized at each site to receive either FMT by enema or placebo by enema in a 2:1 ratio. Study duration is 3 years, subject participation duration is approximately 1 year. The primary study objectives are: 1) to evaluate the safety of FMT(s) delivered by enema vs. placebo delivered by enema and 2) to determine efficacy of FMT delivered by enema vs. placebo delivered by enema.
Detailed Description
This is a multi-center, randomized, placebo controlled, partially blinded trial comparing the safety and efficacy of fecal microbiota transplantation versus placebo both delivered by rectal enema in subjects 18 years of age or older with recurrent Clostridium difficile Associated Disease (CDAD). 162 (108 in the FMT group, 54 in the placebo group) male or female subjects will be enrolled in the study. Subjects must have had treatment for most recent CDAD with at least 10 days of either metronidazole po/IV (500 mg tid), oral vancomycin (at least 125 mg qid), or oral fidaxomicin (200 mg bid) and have no diarrheal symptoms (<3 unformed stools per 24 hour period) off antibiotics during the washout period. Enrolled subjects will be randomized at each site to receive either FMT by enema or placebo by enema in a 2:1 ratio. The study is described as partially blinded because by design subjects are to be blinded only to a certain point. Subjects will be followed for clinical response (efficacy) and safety. The study duration is 3 years, subject participation duration is approximately 1 year. The primary study objectives are: 1) to evaluate the safety of FMT(s) delivered by enema vs. placebo delivered by enema and 2) to determine efficacy of FMT delivered by enema vs. placebo delivered by enema. Secondary objectives: 1) to evaluate the sustained clinical response rate of FMTs delivered by enema vs. placebo delivered by enema, 2) to evaluate the rate of recurrent CDAD, and 3) to evaluate the time to recurrent CDAD.
