Summary

This study compares two treatments to prevent Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) infection from returning. About 500 adults with a first or second C. diff episode will receive either a vancomycin taper or a 10-day course of fidaxomicin. The goal is to see if the vancomycin taper works just as well at preventing recurrence within 56 days.
