NCT03053505

Brief Summary

This study is a two-arm, interventional, prospective, open-label, multi-center clinical trial with randomized and non-randomized study groups to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) for the treatment of adult patients suffering from primary or recurrent Clostridium difficile infection (CDI), using a novel, standardized microbiota transplantation system.

Study Arms (3)

Recurrent CDI FMT

EXPERIMENTAL

Non-randomized group ("R") for treatment of recurrent CDI with FMT

Biological: faecal human microbiota transplant (FMT)

Primary CDI antibiotic

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Randomized group ("F" AB) for the treatment of primary CDI with antibiotics (vancomycin or fidaxomicin)

Drug: Vancomycin or Fidaxomicin

Primary CDI FMT

EXPERIMENTAL

Randomized group ("F" FMT) for the treatment of primary CDI with FMT

Biological: faecal human microbiota transplant (FMT)

Interventions

Non-randomized group "R": Patients with recurrent CD infection are treated with FMT in this group. Randomized group "F"FMT: patients with initial CD infection who have severe disease or who are at high risk of recurrence or high risk of developing severe disease are treated with FMT.

Also known as: FMT
Primary CDI FMTRecurrent CDI FMT

Randomized group "F"AB: patients with initial CD infection who have severe disease or who are at high risk of recurrence or high risk of developing severe disease are treated with antibiotics (vancomycin per os 125mg four times a day for 10 days) in this group. In case of treatment failure changes in antibiotic regime (e.g. fidaxomicin per os 200mg per two times a day for 10 days) will be allowed in the line with the recommendations of current CDI treatment guidelines(13).

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 75 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Group "R":- recurrent CDI;- positive stool toxin test within 72 hours before enrolment
  • Group "F":- first (initial) episode of CDI;- enrolled patient falls in at least one of the following categories:high risk of recurrence or high risk of developing severe CDI or severe or life-threatening CDI;- patient requires hospitalization or CDI occurs during a hospital stay;- persisting symptoms despite least 72 hours of adequate antibiotic treatment;-positive stool CD toxin test obtained within 72 hours before screening;- in all cases, primary consideration must be given to the severity and pace of the patient's CDI when deciding whether early use of FMT is appropriate to prevent further clinical deterioration.

You may not qualify if:

  • absence of either patient's or its legally authorized representative's informed consent
  • inability or unwillingness to comply with protocol requirements
  • severe co-morbidities, terminal underlying disease with a life expectancy of less than 90 days
  • pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • active gastroenteritis caused by microorganisms other than CD
  • underlying chronic gastrointestinal disease that causes diarrhoea such as autonomic diabetic neuropathy, short bowel syndrome, faecal incontinence, active inflammatory bowel disease
  • alimentary or over-the-counter drog allergy with previous anaphylactic reaction
  • absolute contraindication to FMT
