Receives: Drug: Vancomycin

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluate the clinical outcome by assessment of sustained clinical response

    Sustained clinical response is defined as clinical cure at the Test of Cure Visit (Day 12) and no recurrence of CDAD within 30 days of End of Therapy

    Measured: 30 days post End of Therapy

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Plasma and faecal concentrations of SMT19969

    Using laboratory analysis

    Measured: 40 Days

  2. To assess the safety and tolerability of SMT19969 compared with vancomycin

    Assessment of the Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) reported within the study

    Measured: 40 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing SMT19969 and Vancomycin in people with Clostridium Difficile Infection, run by Summit Therapeutics at 26 sites in 2 countries.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 4 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Oct 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 26 sites in United States, Canada. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the clinical outcome by assessment of sustained clinical response (time frame: 30 days post End of Therapy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02092935, which also lists 2 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Oct 2016.
