Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

First occurrence of recurrence of C difficile infection

rCDI is a recurrence of C difficile infection (CDI) occurring after initial clinical cure of the qualifying CDI. CDI is defined as a history of diarrhea (\>=3 unformed stools, ie, type 6 or 7 stool on Bristol Stool Scale in \<=24 hours for 2 consecutive calendar days) accompanied by a positive stool test for C difficile toxin.

Time frame
Day 1 through day 91

Secondary outcomes

1

Sustained clinical cure

Sustained clinical cure is defined as achieving initial clinical cure (ICC) of the qualifying CDI and not having an rCDI event through Day 91. ICC is defined as clinical cure for the qualifying CDI episode with a duration of a minimum of 10 days and a maximum of 25 days of standard of care antibacterial drug therapy for CDI.

Time frame
Day 91
2

Duration of recurrent C difficile infection

Duration of the first occurrence of confirmed rCDI is calculated from the first day of diarrhea meeting the clinical symptom criteria until the date of clinical cure. Clinical cure is defined as \<=2 unformed stools (ie, type 6 or 7 stool on Bristol Stool Scale) in 24 hours for 2 consecutive calendar days after the end of antibacterial drug treatment for the CDI episode.

Time frame
Day 1 through Day 91
3

First occurrence of severe recurrent C difficile infection

Severe rCDI is defined as an rCDI event characterized by either: peripheral blood leukocytosis with leukocyte count \>15,000 cells/uL or serum creatinine level \>1.5 mg/dL.

Time frame
Day 1 through Day 91
4

First occurrence of fulminant recurrent C difficile infection

Fulminant rCDI is defined as a severe rCDI event with hypotension or shock, toxic megacolon, or ileus.

Time frame
Day 1 through Day 91
