Active clinical trials for "Clostridium Infections"

Clostridium difficile (CD) infection are an important cause of morbi-mortality in patients undergoing allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The VANCALLO trial aims at evaluating oral vancomycine reducing the risk of CD infection relying on a placebo controlled 1:1 randomized design, including one interim analysis.

The primary objective of the study is to demonstrate non-inferiority of nitazoxanide compared to vancomycin in resolving symptoms of Clostridium difficile-associated disease (CDAD).

The investigators are doing this research study to answer questions about a nutritional therapy called the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) for children with active Clostridium Difficile Infection. For this study, the investigators will be looking to determine: Is SCD effective for the treatment for Clostridium Difficile Colonization? Is the SCD well tolerated?

The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of the Clostridium difficile vaccine to prevent primary symptomatic C. difficile infection (CDI) in participants at risk for CDI where there is a substantial unmet medical need. Primary objective: To assess the efficacy of the C. difficile vaccine in preventing the onset of symptomatic primary CDI confirmed by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in adult participants aged >= 50 years who are at risk for CDI and have received at least 1 injection. Secondary Objectives: Efficacy: To assess prevention of symptomatic PCR-confirmed primary CDI cases after 3 injections administered at 0, 7, and 30 days. To assess prevention of symptomatic PCR-confirmed primary CDI cases after completion of at least 2 injections. Immunogenicity: To describe the immunogenicity to toxin A and toxin B at specific time points in a subset of participant and in participants with CDI at Day 0 and Day 60. Safety: To describe the safety profile of all participants who received at least 1 injection.

The primary objective of this study is to investigate the safety and efficacy of OPT-80 versus vancomycin in subjects with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).

The purpose of this study is to determine whether a probiotic, when used together with standard treatment, is effective in reducing duration of symptoms and preventing recurrence of infection in older adults with a first episode of C. difficile infection.

This clinical study is conducted to assess the efficacy of cadazolid compared to vancomycin in subjects with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).

Cadazolid is a new antibiotic developed for the treatment of Clostridiun difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD), also known as Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI). The purpose of the study was to evaluate the efficacy and safety of different doses of cadazolid in order to find the dose of cadazolid to be used for further clinical development of the compound in subjects with CDAD.

Primary objective: To compare the event rate of CDI in groups assigned to ACAM-CDIFF™ vaccine versus placebo in the 9 week period after the third dose of the study vaccine in subjects with first episode of CDI receiving antibiotics standard of care. Secondary objective: To evaluate the safety of all dose groups of ACAM-CDIFF™ vaccine versus placebo in subjects with first episode of CDI receiving antibiotics standard of care.

Patients with Clostridium difficile associated disease who fulfill the eligibility criteria will be approached to participate. All study patients must receive standard of care treatment for Clostridium difficile associated disease. Enrolled patients will be randomized to receive a single intravenous solution of a human monoclonal antibody (huMab) to C. difficile toxin A (GS-CDA1) combined with a human monoclonal antibody to C. difficile toxin B (MDX-1388) or 0.9% sodium chloride as placebo in a 1:1 treatment allocation. Patients will be evaluated for safety and clinical outcomes through day 84 +/- 10 days. Occurrence of adverse events, use of concomitant medications, and stool output will be assessed at scheduled phone contacts and study visits. Some patients enrolled will have a subsequent visit on day 168 ± 14 days.
