Cheaper antibiotic challenge: can it beat the High-Cost standard for stopping deadly gut infections?
NCT ID NCT07328971
Summary
This study aims to see if a specific, tapering schedule of the antibiotic vancomycin works as well as the standard 10-day course of fidaxomicin to prevent C. difficile infection from coming back. It will enroll 500 adults experiencing their first or second episode of this severe diarrhea-causing infection. The goal is to find a more widely available and affordable treatment option that is just as effective at keeping the infection from recurring.
