Study Overview

Brief Summary

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

Detailed Description

Subjects selected to participate in the study are treated either with cadazolid or vancomycin for 10 days. At the end of treatment, clinical cure is assessed; subjects are then followed-up to assess any disease recurrence.

  • Evidence of life-threatening or fulminant CDAD.
  • Likelihood of death within 72 hours from any cause.
  • History of inflammatory colitides, chronic abdominal pain, or chronic diarrhea.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Clinical Cure Rate (CCR) in the Modified Intent-to-treat Population

Time Frame: Up to Day 12 on average (end-of-treatment + 2 days)

Clinical Cure is defined as: • Resolution of Diarrhea (ROD) (≤ 3 unformed bowel movement (UBM) per day for at least 2 consecutive days) on study treatment and maintained for 2 days after end-of-treatment (EOT), AND • No additional antimicrobial treatment active against Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) or fecal microbiota transplant (FMT) between first dose of study drug and 2 days after EOT (inclusive). CCR is the percentage of subjects with Clinical Cure. Analyses are performed on two analysis sets. Results on the modified intent-to-treat set (mITT) are reported below.

Clinical Cure Rate (CCR) in the Per-protocol Population

Time Frame: Up to Day 12 on average (end-of-treatment + 2 days)

Clinical Cure (CC) is defined as: • Resolution of Diarrhea (≤ 3 unformed bowel movement per day for at least 2 consecutive days) on study treatment and maintained for 2 days after end-of-treatment (EOT), AND • No additional antimicrobial treatment active against Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) or fecal microbiota transplant between first dose of study drug and 2 days after EOT. CCR is the percentage of subjects with Clinical Cure. Analyses are performed on two analysis sets. Results on the per-protocol set (PPS) are reported below.

Secondary Outcomes

  • Sustained Cure Rate (SCR) in the Modified Intent-to-treat Population(Between Day 38 and Day 42 on average (end-of-treatment + 28-32 days))
  • Kaplan-Meier Estimates for Resolution of Diarrhea (ROD)(Up to Day 10)
  • Change From Baseline to Day 3 in Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) Daily Symptoms Patient-Reported Outcome (CDI-DaySyms PRO) Domain Scores(Baseline to End of Treatment (10 days after starting study drug) + 2 days)
