SER-262 Versus Placebo in Adults With Primary Clostridium Difficile Infection to Prevent Recurrence

Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
Clostridium Difficile Infection
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT02830542
Lead Sponsor
Seres Therapeutics, Inc.
Brief Summary

The study will involve administering a single dose of investigational drug or placebo in ascending dose cohorts. This study is designed to evaluate the safety and tolerability of investigational drug as well as the efficacy of investigational drug versus placebo in adults with primary (first episode) Clostridium difficile infection (CDI).

Detailed Description

SER-262-001 is a Phase 1b, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, ascending single dose clinical study with 2 treatment arms (SER-262 or placebo) in up to 8 dose cohorts. Patients who have been diagnosed with their first (primary) episode of CDI, defined as diarrhea (≥ 3 unformed stools per day for 2 consecutive days), a positive C. difficile stool test and who have responded to standard-of-care antibiotic will receive investigational drug or placebo on Day 1.
