Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

MK-3415A is the combination of monoclonal antibodies to Clostridium (C.) difficile toxin A (MK-3415) and toxin B (MK-6072). This study will investigate whether: 1) treatment with MK-6072 or MK-3415A in addition to standard of care (SOC) antibiotic therapy will decrease Clostridium Difficile Infection (CDI) recurrence compared with placebo; and 2) MK-6072 and MK-3415A will be generally well tolerated in participants receiving SOC therapy for CDI compared with placebo.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

  1. Percentage of Participants With CDI Recurrence [12 weeks]

    CDI recurrence is defined as the development of a new episode of diarrhea (3 or more loose stools in 24 or fewer hours) and a positive lab stool test (local or central) for toxigenic C. difficile after clinical cure of the initial CDI episode. Clinical cure is defined as no diarrhea [2 or fewer loose stools per 24 hours] for 2 consecutive days following completion of SOC therapy for the initial CDI episode in participants who received =< 14 day regimen.

  2. Percentage of Participants With One or More Adverse Events During 4 Weeks Following Infusion Treatment [Up to 4 weeks]

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event.

  3. Percentage of Participants With One or More Drug-related Adverse Events During 4 Weeks Following Infusion Treatment [Up to 4 weeks]

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event. A drug-related adverse event is determined by the investigator to be related to the drug.

  4. Percentage of Participants With One or More Serious Drug-related Adverse Events During 4 Weeks Following Infusion Treatment [Up to 4 weeks]

    A serious adverse event (SAE) is any AE occurring at any dose or during any use of the medicinal product that results in death; or is life threatening; or results in a persistent or significant disability/incapacity; or results in or prolongs an existing inpatient hospitalization; or is a congenital anomaly/birth defect; or other important medical events. A serious drug-related adverse event is determined by the investigator to be related to the drug.

  5. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued Study Medication Due to an Adverse Event During 4 Weeks Following Infusion Treatment [Up to 4 weeks]

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event.

  6. Percentage of Participants With One or More Infusion-specific Adverse Events on the Day of Infusion or the Day After Infusion [Up to 24 hours]

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event.

Description An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event.

Title Percentage of Participants With One or More Drug-related Adverse Events During 4 Weeks Following Infusion Treatment
Description An adverse event (AE) is defined as any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function, or chemistry of the body temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, whether or not considered related to the use of the product. Any worsening (i.e., any clinically significant adverse change in frequency and/or intensity) of a preexisting condition which is temporally associated with the use of the medicinal product, is also an adverse event. A drug-related adverse event is determined by the investigator to be related to the drug.
