About this study
Official title: ECOSPOR IV: An Open-Label Extension of Study SERES-012 and Open-Label Program for Evaluating SER-109 in Subjects With Recurrent Clostridioides Difficile Infection (RCDI)
Cohort 1: Subjects who had a Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recurrence in study SERES-012 within 8 weeks of receipt of study drug will be eligible. The purpose of this cohort is to assess safety and efficacy of SER-109 in reducing recurrence of CDI in adults who had a CDI recurrence within 8 weeks after receipt of SER-109 or Placebo in study SERES-012.
Cohort 2: Cohort 2 is an open-label program for subjects who were not part of SERES-012. The purpose of this cohort is to describe safety and tolerability of SER-109 in subjects 18 years of age or older with at least a first recurrence of CDI.
Read the detailed description
Cohort 1 is an open-label extension of study SERES-012. Subjects who had a CDI recurrence in study SERES-012 within 8 weeks of receipt of study drug, have responded to a course of standard of care (SOC) antibiotic treatment, will receive an oral dose of SER-109. A treatment regimen of SER-109 is defined as an oral dose of SER-109 (4 capsules once daily) for 3 consecutive days.
Approximately 30 eligible subjects with recurrent CDI disease from study SERES-012 are expected to enroll. Screening for this study will begin at the Recurrence Visit of Study SERES-012.
Cohort 2 is an open-label program for subjects who were not part of SERES-012. Subjects 18 years of age or older who had one or more CDI recurrence and have responded to a course of antibiotic treatment will receive an oral dose of SER-109. The CDI recurrence must be confirmed by a positive C. difficile stool toxin or polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to confirm eligibility. A treatment regimen of SER-109 is defined as an oral dose of SER-109 (4 capsules once daily) for 3 consecutive days.
Approximately 200 eligible subjects with recurrent CDI disease are expected to enroll.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Cohort 1: Recurrence of CDI and Sustained Clinical Response
Cohort 1: Recurrence of CDI up to 8 Weeks after treatment. Recurrence was determined by stool Clostridioides difficile toxin assay. Sustained clinical response was the absence of CDI recurrence up to 8 Weeks after treatment.
Measured: Up to Week 8
Cohort 2: Recurrence of CDI and Sustained Clinical Response
Cohort 2: Recurrence of CDI up to 8 and 12 Weeks after treatment. Recurrence was determined by stool Clostridioides difficile toxin assay. Sustained clinical response was the absence of CDI recurrence up to 8 and 12 Weeks after treatment.
Measured: Up to Weeks 8 and 12

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing SER-109 in people with Clostridioides Difficile Infection, run by Seres Therapeutics, Inc. at 107 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?
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 10 Apr 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 107 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 31 Mar 2023). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
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?
Cohort 1: Recurrence of CDI and Sustained Clinical Response (time frame: Up to Week 8). The study lists 2 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 NCT03183141, which also lists 3 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 10 Apr 2023.
