DEFLECT-1: A Phase 3b Multi-Center, Double-Blind, Randomized, Placebo Controlled Study to Demonstrate the Safety and Efficacy of Fidaxomicin for Prophylaxis Against Clostridium Difficile-Associated Diarrhea in Adults Undergoing Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating fidaxomicin and Placebo for Clostridium Difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD). Completed, enrolled 611 participants.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the efficacy and safety of Fidaxomicin versus placebo for prophylaxis against Clostridium difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) in adult participants undergoing hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The primary hypothesis is that Fidaxomicin is superior to placebo in preventing CDAD in participants undergoing HSCT.
Study Details
Timeline
Interventions
Fidaxomicin 200 mg tablet once daily from the start (+/- 2 days) of condition (prior to transplantation) or at the time of Fluoroquinolone initiation. Study drug treatment will continue until 7 days after either neutrophil engraftment or the completion of any Fluoroquinolone antibiotic regimen (whichever occurs later). Study drug treatment will stop at onset of CDAD or no longer than 40 days of duration, even if other antibiotics are still administered or neutrophil engraftment extends beyond 40 days.
Placebo tablet once daily from the start (+/- 2 days) of condition (prior to transplantation) or at the time of Fluoroquinolone initiation. Treatment will continue until 7 days after either neutrophil engraftment or the completion of any Fluoroquinolone antibiotic regimen (whichever occurs later). Treatment will stop at onset of CDAD or no longer than 40 days of duration, even if other antibiotics are still administered or neutrophil engraftment extends beyond 40 days.
