Study Type : | Interventional (Clinical Trial) |
Estimated Enrollment : | 108 participants |
Allocation: | Randomized |
Intervention Model: | Parallel Assignment |
Masking: | Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor) |
Primary Purpose: | Treatment |
Official Title: | A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Comparator-Controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of CRS3123 Compared With Oral Vancomycin in Adults With Clostridioides Difficile Infection |

Estimated Primary Completion Date : | February 2024 |
Estimated Study Completion Date : | April 2024 |

Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: CRS3123 200 milligram
CRS3123 200 milligram dose (400 mg/day) given orally at approximately 6-hour intervals for 10 days. Due to the difference in dosing schedules between CRS3123 (twice a day) and the standard of care vancomycin (four times a day) and appearance of study drugs used in the 3 Arms, placebo will be used to match the total number of capsules in each arm. |
Drug: CRS3123
Study drug dosed at 200 mg PO BID (treatment arm A) or 400 mg PO BID (treatment arm B) for total of 10 days |
Experimental: CRS3123 400 milligram
CRS3123 400 milligram dose (800 mg/day) given orally at approximately 6-hour intervals for 10 days. Due to the difference in dosing schedules between CRS3123 (twice a day) and the standard of care vancomycin (four times a day) and appearance of study drugs used in the 3 Arms, placebo will be used to match the total number of capsules in each arm. |
Drug: CRS3123
Study drug dosed at 200 mg PO BID (treatment arm A) or 400 mg PO BID (treatment arm B) for total of 10 days |
Active Comparator: Vancomycin 125 milligram
Vancomycin 125 milligram dose (500 mg/day) given orally at approximately 6-hour intervals for 10 days.

Drug: Active Comparator
Active comparator is administered 125 mg PO QID |
- Rate of Clinical Cure at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Intention to treat (ITT) population [ Time Frame: Day 12-14 ]

- Rate of recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection through follow up visit 4 in the Micro-Intent to Treat and Microbiologic Evaluable populations [ Time Frame: Day 12 - Day 70 ]
- Time to recurrence of Clostridioides difficile infection through follow up visit 4 in the Micro-Intent to Treat, Per Protocol and Microbiologically Evaluable populations [ Time Frame: from Day 12 until the date of recurrence, assessed up to Day 70 ]
- Rate of global cure in the Micro-Intent to Treat, Per Protocol and Microbiologically evaluable populations [ Time Frame: Day 12 - Day 40 ]
