What is being measured

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

  1. Proportions of subjects reporting local reactions (pain, erythema, and induration) and their severity, as self-reported on e-diaries

    Measured: Up to 14 days after each vaccination

  2. Proportions of subjects reporting systemic events (fever, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, fatigue, new or worsening muscle pain, and new or worsening joint pain) and their severity, as self-reported on e-diaries

    Measured: Up to 14 days after each vaccination

  3. Proportions of subjects reporting AEs (categorized according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA])

    Measured: From the first vaccination up to 28 days after the last vaccination

  4. Proportions of subjects reporting SAEs (categorized according to the Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities [MedDRA])

    Measured: From the first vaccination until 6 months after the last vaccination

  5. Proportions of subjects with abnormal hematology and blood chemistry laboratory assessments

    Measured: 7 days or 14 days after each vaccination

Secondary outcomes (8)
  1. Toxin A- and toxin B-specific neutralizing antibody levels, expressed as geometric mean concentrations

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

  2. Geometric mean fold rises in toxin A- and toxin B-specific neutralizing antibody levels

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

  3. Proportions of subjects in each vaccine group with toxin A-specific neutralizing antibody level ≥ the specified threshold for toxin A

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

  4. Proportions of subjects in each vaccine group with toxin B-specific neutralizing antibody level ≥ the specified threshold for toxin B

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

  5. Proportions of subjects in each vaccine group with both toxin A- and toxin B-specific neutralizing antibody levels ≥ the specified threshold for toxin A and the specified threshold for toxin B, respectively

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

  6. Proportions of subjects in each vaccine group with fold rises in toxin A-specific neutralizing antibody levels

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

  7. Proportions of subjects in each vaccine group with fold rises in toxin B-specific neutralizing antibody levels

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

  8. Proportions of subjects in each vaccine group with fold rises in both toxin A- and toxin B-specific neutralizing antibody levels

    Measured: Up to 6 months after dose 3

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Clostridium difficile Vaccine in people with Clostridium Difficile Associated Disease, run by Pfizer at 2 sites in Japan.

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 2 inclusion and 11 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 13 Jul 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in Japan. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

Proportions of subjects reporting local reactions (pain, erythema, and induration) and their severity, as self-reported on e-diaries (time frame: Up to 14 days after each vaccination). The study lists 5 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT02725437, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 13 Jul 2018.
