Columbus, Ohio
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and spatial analysis have become important tools in public health informatics but have rarely been applied to the hospital setting. In this study we apply these tools to address the challenge of Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) by building, implementing, and evaluating a new computer application which incorporates mapping and geographic data to assist hospital epidemiologists in identifying HAI clusters and assessing transmission risk. We expect that incorporation of geographic information into the workflow of hospital epidemiologists will have a profound effect on our understanding of disease transmission and HAI risk factors in the hospital setting, radically altering the workflow and speed of response of infection preventionists and improving their ability to prevent HAIs.

C. difficile Vaccine for C. difficile Infection
Cincinnati, Ohio
An antibody is a substance your body makes to fight off infection. This study will explore the safety and antibody response of a vaccine to prevent severe diarrhea caused by a germ called Clostridoides difficile (C. diff). Three new formulations of the C. diff vaccine will be used in this study, in addition to a C. diff vaccine formulation that has been studied in previous clinical trials.
The purpose of this study is to understand if giving the new C. diff vaccine formulations helps people make as many antibodies as giving the previously studied C. diff vaccine formulation.
The study is divided into 2 phases.
Phase 1 will evaluate 3 new formulations of the C. diff vaccine and 2 dosing schedules spread out over 2 months or 6 months.
The Phase 1 portion of the study is seeking participants:
* who are healthy adults of 65 to 84 years of age
* who have not had a C. diff infection before
* who have not received a C. diff vaccine or C. diff monoclonal antibody therapy before.
All participants in Phase 1 will receive study injections with active vaccine or placebo at each vaccination visit, depending on the vaccine group to which they are assigned. A placebo does not contain any active ingredients. Participants in Phase 1 will attend at least 9 study visits and will take part in the study for approximately 18 months. Based on the results of Phase 1, 1 or 2 of the new C. diff vaccine formulations will be chosen for further study in Phase 2.
Phase 2 will evaluate the safety and effects of the new C. diff vaccine formulation(s) chosen in Phase 1.
The Phase 2 portion of the study is seeking participants:
* who are healthy adults ≥65 years of age
* who have not had a C. diff infection before
* who have not received a C. diff vaccine or C. diff monoclonal antibody therapy before.
Phase 2 participants will receive active C. diff vaccine or placebo at each vaccination visit. Participants in Phase 2 will attend at least 6 and up to 12 study visits and will take part in the study for up to 4 years.

Ursodeoxycholic Acid for C. diff Infection
Milwaukee, Wisconsin
The goal of this clinical trial is to determine whether Ursodeoxycholic Acid (UDCA) can help prevent recurrence of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) colitis when used along with standard antibiotic treatment. C. diff colitis is a serious infection that can return after treatment, and researchers want to see if UDCA can reduce this risk.
This study aims to answer three main questions. First, can UDCA help prevent C. diff from returning after standard treatment? Second, does adding UDCA to treatment lower the need for repeated antibiotic use? Third, is UDCA safe and well-tolerated for people with C. diff?
Participants in the study will be adults diagnosed with C. diff colitis who have risk factors for recurrence. Each participant will receive standard antibiotic treatment, which may include Vancomycin, Fidaxomicin, or Metronidazole. In addition to their antibiotic therapy, participants will take UDCA at a dose of 500 mg three times a day for up to eight weeks. If a participant's stool test shows they are C. diff negative at four weeks, they will stop taking UDCA early.
Researchers will monitor participants throughout the study. Stool samples will be tested at the beginning, after four weeks, and at the end of the study. If a participant develops diarrhea, a stool test will check for C. diff. If C. diff is negative, the UDCA dose will be reduced. Weekly phone calls will be made to check for side effects and ensure participants are following the treatment plan.
C. diff colitis is a common and serious infection, with up to 46 percent of high-risk patients experiencing recurrence. Current treatments rely on antibiotics, which can disrupt gut bacteria and increase the risk of reinfection. UDCA is a naturally occurring bile acid that may help prevent C. diff from growing, reducing the need for repeated antibiotic treatment. If successful, this study could introduce a new way to prevent C. diff from coming back, helping patients recover more effectively while reducing antibiotic use.
Eligible participants must be at least 18 years old, have a positive C. diff test, and be receiving standard antibiotic treatment for C. diff. People who have severe or life-threatening C. diff colitis, a life expectancy of less than six months, serious liver disease, or are pregnant or breastfeeding will not be eligible to participate.
UDCA is FDA-approved and has been used safely for decades in liver diseases and gallstone treatment. Some people may experience mild side effects, such as diarrhea, nausea, or stomach discomfort. Participants will be closely monitored for safety throughout the study.
This trial will take place within the Froedtert and Medical College of Wisconsin healthcare system in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

Vancomycin for C. diff Infection
Montreal, Quebec
Re-exposure to systemic antibiotics (i.e., antibiotics absorbed into the bloodstream) is common after a Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) and is the strongest risk factor for a recurrent episode. Oral vancomycin to prevent a recurrence during antibiotic re-exposure may reduce this risk but the data supporting this practice are limited. The aim of this trial is:
1) Does oral vancomycin prophylaxis prevent CDI recurrences in patients with recent CDI (within 120 days) and who are re-exposed to systemic antibiotics?
The trial will compare oral vancomycin to placebo.
Participants will:
* Take the study drug (either vancomycin or placebo) twice daily for the duration of systemic antibiotics plus once daily for 7 days after completion of systemic antibiotics.
* Attend an in-person follow-up at day 56
* Respond to weekly electronic questionnaires

Microbiota Transplant for Colon Resection
Minneapolis, Minnesota
This is a single-center, open-label study for safety and feasibility of IMT in patients undergoing colonic surgery. After consent, individuals of the ages of 18-75 with a history of diverticulitis or sigmoid colon cancer will be enrolled to have a feeding tube placed at the time of surgery and receive IMT solution on postoperative day 2-3 (at least 48 hours following IV antibiotics) with the subsequent removal of the feeding tube. Prior to administration of IMT, recipients will be screened for inclusion/exclusion criteria, interviewed for medical history and medications, and consented. Additionally, prior to undergoing IMT, baseline blood and fecal samples will be collected. The use of a nasogastric feeding tube has specifically been chosen over colonoscopic introduction of the IMT. This is because colonoscopy introduces increased intraluminal carbon dioxide and pressure as well as mechanical stress on the colon in the setting of a newly created bowel anastomosis, which may contribute to the potential risk of anastomotic disruption. The nasogastric feeding tube will be placed while the patient is under anesthesia under direct visualization to minimize any risk of bowel perforation, albeit very low. The study will specifically utilize a 10F 43" Corpak feeding tube (Halyard Health, Alpharetta, GA). Patients will be monitored while in-patient in person. Following discharge, they will undergo follow-up either by phone, video or in-person visit, or via online survey of symptoms and chronic medical conditions potentially related to IMT, beginning on the day following discharge through post-operative day 14, and then monthly up to 6 months post- IMT to screen for SAEs and AEs. Screening for SAEs and AEs will be done using a symptom questionnaire as well as by asking patients during our interview. Fecal samples will be collected from participants on months one, three and six post-IMT to assess for changes in recipient microbiome (engraftment kinetics).

Fecal Microbiota for Colon Resection
Minneapolis, Minnesota
This Phase 1 pilot clinical trial that will evaluate the initial safety and feasibility of orally administered preparation of fecal microbiota (MTP-101P) in patients undergoing colon resection. We plan to enroll male and female patients, ages 18-75, diagnosed with colon polyps or early (stage I or II) colorectal cancer or medically refractory diverticulitis. We will recruit 40 patients total to receive the investigational product. This trial will inform development of future trials in treatment of colon and rectal surgery. Active drug is composed of highly purified, freeze-dried, fecal microbiota from healthy donors. This study will also allow for limited evaluation of pharmacokinetics in terms of donor microbiota engraftment. The exploratory objective is to evaluate engraftment of donor microbiota with this preparation and compare the results with data generated with the data generally from microbiota transplantation (IND28152).

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

Frequently Asked Questions
How much do Clostridioides Difficile Infection clinical trials pay?
Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.How do Clostridioides Difficile Infection clinical trials work?
After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Clostridioides Difficile Infection trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Clostridioides Difficile Infection is 12 months.How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?
Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?
The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.Do I need to be insured to participate in a Clostridioides Difficile Infection medical study ?
Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.What are the newest Clostridioides Difficile Infection clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Vancomycin for C. diff Infection, Fidaxomicin vs Vancomycin for C. diff Infection and Xylitol for C. Difficile to the Power online platform.Popular Searches
