ACX-362E [Ibezapolstat] for Oral Treatment of Clostridioides Difficile Infection
brief summary
Segments 2A and 2B of this trial evaluate the safety, efficacy, pharmacokinetics, fecal concentrations, and fecal microbiome effects of ACX-362E \[ibezapolstat\] in patients with C. difficile infection (CDI).
detailed description
This Phase 2, multicenter, open-label single-arm segment (2A) followed by a double-blind, randomized, active-controlled segment (2B) is designed to evaluate ACX-362E in the treatment of CDI. Segment 2A of this trial was an open-label study of up to 20 patients at 6 study centers and was terminated early at 10 patients based on the protocol-specified Trial Oversight Committee's assessment of the compelling efficacy and safety data. Patients were treated with 450 mg of oral ibezapolstat twice daily for 10 days. The trial will advance to Segment 2B which is a double-blind comparison of ibezapolstat to the standard of care, oral vancomycin, in approximately 64 subjects (1-1 randomization) at up to approximately 15 sites.
Subjects will be evaluated for cure, safety, and tolerability. All subjects in both segments will have stool samples tested for microbiome profiles. Pharmacokinetic (PK) testing for systemic exposure will be performed on blood samples. Stool samples will be tested for study drug concentration.
