Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   43857   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7284   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    The primary objective of this study was to investigate the safety, tolerability, and pharmacokinetics of fidaxomicin oral suspension or tablets in pediatric subjects, aged 6 months to 17 years, 11 months, with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), following the administration of doses given every 12 hours for 10 consecutive days. Both plasma and fecal PK analyses were performed.

    Safety as assessed by incidence of adverse events (AEs), clinical laboratory test results, vital sign measurements, physical examinations, and electrocardiogram (ECG) results [1]
    End point description
    An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE may 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 it is considered related to the medicinal product. A serious AE (SAE) is any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose: Was fatal; Was life threatening; Required inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; Resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity; Was a congenital anomaly/birth defect. A treatment-emergent adverse event (TEAE) is an adverse event with an onset date/time on or after first dose date/time of study drug. The analysis population was the safety analysis set, which included all patients with any evaluable safety data who have received at least one dose of study drug.

    Percentage of participants with clinical response (cure)
    End point description
    Positive clinical response (cure) was determined as follows: 6 to 23 months: who no longer had watery diarrhea for 2 consecutive days during treatment, who remained well before the time of study drug discontinuation, and who did not require further CDAD therapy within 2 days after completion of study drug were considered to have a positive clinical response; 2 years to 17 years, 11 months: who had improvement in the number and character of bowel movements as determined by 3 or fewer unformed bowel movements for 2 consecutive days during treatment, who remained well before the time of study drug discontinuation, and who did not require further CDAD therapy within 2 days after completion of study drug were considered to have a positive clinical response. The analysis population was the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) analysis set which included all participants with CDAD confirmed by a positive toxin assay within 24 hours prior to enrollment who received at least one dose of study drug.

    Percentage of participants with recurrence of CDAD
    End point description
    Recurrence was defined as the the re-establishment of diarrhea after a positive clinical response, where the number of unformed bowel movements (UBMs) was greater than that noted on the last day of study drug and toxin A and/or B was present, and the investigator considered that retreatment of CDAD was necessary. Only participants who achieved a positive clinical response by end of therapy visit were included. Participants who withdrew from the study during the follow-up period were considered to have a recurrence. The analysis population was the mITT analysis set.

    Time to recurrence of CDAD
    End point description
    Time to recurrence of CDAD was defined as the time in days from date of cure to the date of recurrence. Only participants who achieved a positive clinical response by end of therapy visit were included. The survival function for time to recurrence (in days) will be estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method using LIFETEST procedure in SAS. Participants who never recurred during the follow-up period were censored at 30 days after last dose. The analysis population was the mITT analysis set. Confidence Interval (CI) limit that could not be calculated is denoted as "99999" as applicable.

    Time to resolution of diarrhea
    End point description
    Time to resolution of diarrhea was defined as the time elapsed (in hours rounded up from minutes ≥30) from the start of treatment (time of first dose of study drug) to resolution of diarrhea (time of the last UBM the day before the first of 2 consecutive days of ≤3 UBMs that were sustained through the end of therapy). The survival function for time to recurrence (in days) was estimated using the Kaplan-Meier method using LIFETEST procedure in SAS. Participants were censored at time of discontinuation, except for those subjects who completed End of Therapy and did not have resolution of diarrhea were censored at 240 hours. The analysis population was the mITT analysis set. Confidence Interval (CI) limit that could not be calculated is denoted as "99999" as applicable.
