About this study

Official title: The Role of Mucosal Microbiome in the Development, Clearance and Recurrence of Clostridiodes Difficile Infection

The study is being done to identify types of bacteria associated with the lining of the large intestine in people who have recently been diagnosed with C. difficile infection to determine if there are features associated with development, clearance, and recurrence of disease.

Read the detailed description

Patients who were recently diagnosed with C. difficile infection will undergo assessment of both before treatment and after completing treatment to study the presence of C. difficile in the colonic mucosa pre as well as assessment for microbiome and patient/clinical factors that may contribute to disease recurrence. Assessment will include sigmoid colon biopsies, blood draw, stool samples and surveys.

Medical subject headings
Clostridium Infections

What is being measured

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

  1. Disease recurrence

    Based on clinical stool testing and symptoms

    Measured: 8 weeks post treatment of C.difficile infection

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in mucosal presence of C. difficile

    Identification of C. difficile within the colonic mucosa on stained slides from sigmoid biopsy samples

    Measured: Baseline, approximately 1-14 days post treatment of C. difficile infection

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Clostridioides Difficile Infection, run by Mayo Clinic.

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 5 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The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Nov 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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?

Disease recurrence (time frame: 8 weeks post treatment of C.difficile infection). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 29 Nov 2022.
