简要总结
MK-3415A is the combination of monoclonal antibodies to Clostridium (C.) difficile toxin A (MK-3415) and toxin B (MK-6072). This study will investigate whether: 1) treatment with MK-6072 or MK-3415A in addition to standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy will decrease Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) recurrence compared with placebo; and 2) MK-6072 and MK-3415A will be generally well tolerated in participants receiving SOC therapy for CDI compared with placebo.
详细描述
An extended 9-month follow-up to assess for CDI recurrence through Month 12 will be conducted in a subset of participants.

入选标准
- •Participant has a diagnosis of CDI defined as: a) presence of diarrhea (passage of 3 or more loose stools in 24 or fewer hours); and b) positive test for toxigenic C. difficile from a stool collected no more than 7 days before study infusion.
- •Participant is receiving SOC therapy (i.e., oral metronidazole, oral vancomycin, IV metronidazole concurrent with oral vancomycin, oral fidaxomicin, or oral fidaxomicin concurrent with IV metronidazole) for CDI.
- •Participant is highly unlikely to become pregnant or to impregnate a partner by meeting at least one of the following criteria: a) females not of reproductive potential (i.e., one who has either (1) reached natural menopause, defined as 6 months of spontaneous amenorrhea with serum follicle stimulating hormone [FSH] levels in the postmenopausal range, or 12 months of spontaneous amenorrhea not including cases with an underlying disease, such as anorexia nervosa, that causes amenorrhea; (2) 6 weeks post surgical bilateral oophorectomy with or without hysterectomy; or (3) bilateral tubal ligation); or b) participants of reproductive potential who agree to remain abstinent or use (or have their partner use) two acceptable methods of birth control (i.e., intrauterine device [IUD], diaphragm with spermicide; contraceptive sponge, condom, vasectomy and any registered and marketed hormonal contraceptives that contain an estrogen and/or progestational agent including oral, subcutaneous, intrauterine, or intramuscular agents) starting at enrollment and throughout the 12-week study.
排除标准

- •Participant with planned surgery for CDI within 24 hours.
- •Female participant with a positive pregnancy test in the 48 hours before infusion and pre-menopausal females who are not sterilized and therefore have the potential to bear a child who are unwilling to undergo pregnancy testing.
- •Female participant breast feeding or planning to breast feed before completion of the 12-week study.
- •Female participant planning to donate ova before completion of the 12-week study and male participants planning to impregnate or donate sperm before completion of the 12-week study.
- •Participant has previously participated in this study, has previously received MK-3415 or MK-6072 (either alone or in combination), has received a C. difficile vaccine, or has received another experimental monoclonal antibody against C. difficile toxin A or B.
- •Participant plans to donate blood and/or blood products within 6 months after infusion.
- •Participant has received immune globulin within 6 months before infusion or is planning to receive immune globulin before completion of the 12-week study.
- •Treatment with SOC therapy is planned for longer than 14 days.
- •Participant has received more than a 24-hour regimen of cholestyramine, colestimide, rifaximin, or nitazoxanide within 14 days before infusion or plans to receive these medication before completion of the 12-week study period.
- •Participant plans to take medications that are given to decrease gastrointestinal peristalsis, such as loperamide (Imodium™) or diphenoxylate hydrochloride/atropine sulfate (Lomotil™) any time during the 14 days after infusion. Participants receiving opioid medications at the onset of diarrhea may be included if they are on a stable dose or if there is anticipation of a dose decrease or cessation of use.
- •Participant plans to take the probiotic Saccaromyces boulardii or plans to receive fecal transplantation therapy, or any other therapies that have been demonstrated to decrease CDI recurrence at any time after infusion (Day 1) and through completion of the 12-week study period.
- •Participant has received another investigational study agent within the past 30 days or is currently participating in or scheduled to participate in any other clinical study with an investigational agent during the 12-week study.
- •Participant is not expected to survive for 72 hours.
- •Participant has any other condition that, in the opinion of the investigator, would jeopardize the safety or rights of the participant, would make it unlikely for the participant to complete the study, or would confound the results of the study.

结局指标
主要结局
Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Medication Due to an Adverse Event During 4 Weeks Following Infusion Treatment
时间窗: Up to 4 weeks
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event.
Percentage of Participants With One or More Drug-related Adverse Events During 4 Weeks Following Infusion Treatment
时间窗: Up to 4 weeks
An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event. A drug-related adverse event is determined by the investigator to be related to the drug.
Percentage of Participants With CDI Recurrence
时间窗: 12 weeks
CDI recurrence is defined as the development of a new episode of diarrhea (3 or more loose stools in 24 or fewer hours) and a positive lab stool test (local or central) for toxigenic C. difficile after clinical cure of the initial CDI episode. Clinical cure is defined as no diarrhea \[2 or fewer loose stools per 24 hours\] for 2 consecutive days following completion of SOC therapy for the initial CDI episode in participants who received =\< 14 day regimen.
