Conditions
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
The proportion of patients with recurrent CDIs within 12 weeks of initial cure compared with historical group of patients selected with same inclusion/exclusion criteria (same center within 3 years of the start date of the study).
Documentation of recurrent CDI infection
12 weeks
Secondary Outcomes (1)
Determine if bezlotoxumab infusion add-on treatment is cost saving in patients with malignancies in terms of preventing CDI recurrence.
12 weeks
Other Outcomes (1)
Explore if genetic variants (SNP rs2516513 on xMHC, SNP genotype on IL-8 gene promotor, SNP rs2243250 IL-4 gene,….) are associated with increased recurrence of CDI in this patient population.
12 weeks
Study Arms (2)
Intervention group
EXPERIMENTALRecruited patient according inclusion/exclusion criteria
Historical control
NO INTERVENTIONCohort of historical patients matched to study population to serve as control
Interventions
A single dose of Bezlotoxumab (Zinplava) 10mg/kg (actual body weight) 60-minute intravenous infusion during active CDI treatments.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients \> 18 years of age
- Diagnosed with any type of malignancy and receiving active treatment (chemotherapy, radiotherapy or biological therapy)
- Confirmed clinical (patients with unexplained and new-onset \>3 unformed stools in 24 hours) and laboratory (a stool toxin test as part of a multistep algorithm) diagnosis of primary or recurrent CDI and receiving standard of care treatment
- Patient or legally authorized person signs informed consent form -
You may not qualify if:
- Patients with short life expectancy including terminal cancer, multi-organ dysfunction or on compassionate care (as per treating physician) 2- Pregnant or breastfeeding female patients or likely to be pregnant without negative laboratory confirmation 3- Patients with active chronic diarrheal disease 4- Patients with other acute, unstable and life-threatening conditions (acute renal or hepatic failure, sepsis or other severe infections, active bleeding, stroke or myocardial infarction) 5- Patient receiving or planning to receive other CDI interventions like FMT within 3 months of bezlotuxumab therapy 6- Patients who previously received bezlotoxumab within the past 3 months 7- Patients completed active of CDI treatment 8- Patients with any conditions that at discretion of the investigators will compromise patient rights, ability to participate or complete the study
