Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the plasma pharmacokinetics (PK) of fidaxomicin (FDX) and primary metabolite OP-1118 in Subjects with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and C. difficile Infection (CDI). This study will also compare CDI clinical response to the microbiological response in terms of magnitude of reduction of C. difficile total viable count and spore count during treatment with FDX and if achieved; the time to microbial eradication; determine time to negative CDI toxin assay in stool specimens during treatment with FDX; assess the stool concentrations of FDX and metabolite OP-1118 throughout therapy; record the incidence and severity of Adverse Events (AEs) and document the impact of treatment on Quality of Life as measured by the changes in Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) score.

Clinical Details

Official title: Open Label Study to Evaluate the Pharmacokinetics of Fidaxomicin in Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) Subjects With Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI)

Study design: Endpoint Classification: Pharmacokinetics Study, Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment, Masking: Open Label, Primary Purpose: Treatment

Primary outcome:

Pharmacokinetic parameter of fidaxomicin: Maximum plasma concentration (Cmax)

Pharmacokinetic parameter of fidaxomicin: Area under the curve from 0 to 12 hrs (AUC12)

Pharmacokinetic parameter of fidaxomicin: Area under the concentration-time curve from the time of dosing to the start of the next dosing interval (AUCtau)

Pharmacokinetic parameter of fidaxomicin: The time after dosing when Cmax occurs (tmax)

Pharmacokinetic parameter of fidaxomicin: Apparent total systemic clearance after single or multiple extra-vascular dosing (CL/F)

Pharmacokinetic parameter of fidaxomicin: Concentration immediately prior to dosing at multiple dosing (Ctrough)

Secondary outcome:

CDI clinical response

Microbiological response of C. difficile total viable count, spore count and negative CDI toxin assay

Stool concentrations of fidaxomicin and its metabolite OP-1118

Length of hospital stay, readmissions and resource utilization

Safety as assessed by incidence and severity of adverse events

Health related quality of life as assessed by short IBDQ score

Eligibility

drug within 28 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to enrollment, or is currently participating in another clinical study which may influence the assessment of efficacy and/or safety endpoints of this study, in the opinion of the Sponsor

- Subject has previously participated in a CDI vaccine study

- Subject has hypersensitivity to FDX or any of its components

- Subject has a condition which, in the Investigator's opinion, makes the Subject

unsuitable for study participation
