Study Overview

Brief Summary

606 participants with Clostridium Difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) participated in this study and received either oral vancomycin or CB-183,315 (surotomycin) in a blinded fashion. Treatment lasted for 10 days and participants were followed up for at least 40 days and a maximum of 100 days. The purpose of this study was to evaluate how well surotomycin treats CDAD as compared to vancomycin.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Treatment Due to an AE

Time Frame: Up to Day 13

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product. AEs may be new events or may be pre-existing conditions that have become aggravated or have worsened in severity or frequency; or may be clinically significant changes from baseline in physical examination, laboratory tests, or other diagnostic investigation (e.g. laboratory results, x-ray findings).

Adjusted Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Outcome of Cure at the End of Treatment (EOT)

Time Frame: Up to 13 days

A clinical outcome of cure at EOT was determined by resolution of diarrhea, defined as ≤ 2 loose stools per 24-hour period for at least 2 consecutive days and the lack of need for additional antibiotics to treat the current CDAD episode after completion of the study treatment period. Participants requiring a collection device were considered to have resolution of diarrhea when the volume of stool (over a 24-hour period) was decreased by 75% as compared to baseline or the participant was no longer passing liquid stool. The estimated adjusted percentage was a weighted average across all strata, constructed using Mehrotra-Railkar continuity-corrected minimum risk (MRc) stratum weights.

Percentage of Participants With at Least One Serious Adverse Event (SAE)

Time Frame: Up to Day 50

A SAE is any adverse experience occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: death; a life-threatening experience, referring to a situation in which the participant was at risk of death at the time of the event, requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; results in persistent or significant disability or incapacity; is a congenital anomaly or birth defect; or is considered to be an important medical event.

Percentage of Participants With at Least One Adverse Event (AE)

Time Frame: Up to Day 50

An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product. AEs may be new events or may be pre-existing conditions that have become aggravated or have worsened in severity or frequency; or may be clinically significant changes from baseline in physical examination, laboratory tests, or other diagnostic investigation (e.g. laboratory results, x-ray findings).

Secondary Outcomes

  • Time to Resolution of Diarrhea(Up to Day 13)
  • Adjusted Percentage of Participants With Sustained Clinical Response at the End of Study(Up to Day 50)
  • Adjusted Percentage of Participants Per Protocol 1 Population With a Clinical Response at the End of Treatment(Up to Day 13)
  • Number of Participants With Clinical Response Over Time(Up to Day 41)
  • Adjusted Percentage of Participants With Recurrence of CDAD at End of Study(Up to Day 50)
  • Adjusted Percentage of Participants With Sustained Clinical Response at Day 24(Day 24)
  • Time to Reappearance of Diarrhea From End of Treatment to the End of Study(Up to Day 50)
  • Adjusted Percentage of Participants With a Clinical Response at the End of Treatment for Infections Deemed to be Caused by the C. Difficile BI/NAP1/027 Strain at Baseline(Up to Day 13)
  • Adjusted Percentage of Participants From the Per Protocol 2 Population With a Sustained Clinical Response at the End of Study(Up to Day 50)
  • Adjusted Percentage of Participants With a Sustained Clinical Response at the End of Study for Infections Deemed to be Caused by the C. Difficile BI/NAP1/027 Strain at Baseline(Up to Day 50)
