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   43861   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 ).

    Recruitment
    Recruitment details
    Participants were enrolled at 86 clinical sites in 21 countries in Europe and Asia. Randomization was stratified by CDI severity (severe or non-severe), presence or absence of cancer, age (≥ 75 years or < 75 years) and number of previous recurrences (0, 1, 2) in the 3 months prior to the study.

    Pre-assignment
    Screening details
    Females and males of ≥ 60 years of age with CDI confirmed by clinical symptoms (either > 3 UBMs or ≥ 200 mL of unformed stool [for patients having rectal collection devices] in the 24 hours prior to randomization and CDI test confirmed positive for presence of C. difficile toxin A/B in stool (within 48 hours prior to randomization) were enrolled.

    Percentage of Participants with a Sustained Clinical Cure of CDI at 30 Days after End of Treatment
    End point description
    Sustained clinical cure was defined as an assessment of clinical response at test of cure (TOC; day 12 for vancomycin and day 27 or 12 for EPFX arm) and no recurrence of CDI from TOC until time of assessment. Clinical response was determined by the investigator based on the European Society of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ESCMID) criteria at TOC. Treatment response was present when either stool frequency decreases or stool consistency improved and parameters of disease severity (clinical, laboratory, radiological) improved and no new signs of severe disease developed. The analysis population was the modified Full Analysis Set (mFAS), which consisted of randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had confirmed CDI in the 24 hours prior to randomization and CDI test confirmed positive for presence of C. difficile toxin A or B in stool 48 hours prior to randomization.

    For participants with a recurrence after TOC, whole genome sequencing of isolates was performed on paired samples from day 1 and the day of the confirmed recurrence. Relapse was defined as paired isolates from a single recurrent participant with ≤ 2 single nucleotide variations (SNVs). Only participants who had a recurrence (45) and had paired samples available for whole sequencing from baseline and at time of recurrence are included in the analysis.

    Time to Resolution of Diarrhea
    End point description
    Time to resolution of diarrhea was defined as the time elapsing (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 unformed bowel movement [UBM] the day prior to the first of 2 consecutive days of ≤ 3 UBMs, > 50% reduction in number of stools or > 75% reduction in volume of liquid stool) that are sustained through to TOC. Participants without a resolution of diarrhea on day 25 (600 hours) for EPFX or day 10 (240 hours) for standard vancomycin were censored on day 25 or 10. Participants who discontinued early before resolution of diarrhea were also censored on the day of discontinuation. Participants with no UBM records were excluded from the analysis. The analysis population was the mFAS.

    End point description
    For participants with clinical response at TOC, recurrence of CDI was defined as re-establishment of diarrhea after TOC to an extent (judged by the requency of passed UBMs) that is greater than the frequency recorded on day 10 for vancomycin arm or day 25 for EPFX arm (2 days prior to TOC), confirmed by a CDI test positive for Toxin A/B and requiring further CDI therapy.

    Time to recurrence of CDI was defined as the time in days from clinical response until onset of recurrence of CDI for participants who responded at TOC.

    End point description
    Safety was assessed by adverse events (AEs), which included abnormalities identified during a medical test (e.g. laboratory tests, vital signs, electrocardiogram, etc.) if the abnormality induced clinical signs or symptoms, needed active intervention, interruption or discontinuation of study medication or was clinically significant. A serious AE (SAE) was an event resulting in death, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or congenital anomaly or birth defect, was life-threatening, required or prolonged hospitalization or was considered medically important. The analysis population was the Safety Analysis Set (SAF), which consisted of all randomized participants who took at least 1 dose of study medication.
