Detailed Description

SER-262-001 is a Phase 1b, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled, ascending single dose clinical study with 2 treatment arms (SER-262 or placebo) in up to 8 dose cohorts. Patients who have been diagnosed with their first (primary) episode of CDI, defined as diarrhea (≥ 3 unformed stools per day for 2 consecutive days), a positive C. difficile stool test and who have responded to standard-of-care antibiotic will receive investigational drug or placebo on Day 1.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. Signed informed consent, indicating that the subject understands the purpose of and procedures required for the study.
  2. Male or female subjects ≥ 18 years.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Safety and tolerability of SER-262 as assessed by incidence of AEs, lab results, vital signs, ECG, and physical examination findings
Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks after treatment
Up to 24 weeks after treatment
Relative risk of recurrence based on the proportion of subjects experiencing CDI recurrence in each SER-262 cohort compared to placebo up to 8 weeks after treatment
Time Frame: Up to 8 weeks after treatment
Up to 8 weeks after treatment

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Time Frame
Time to recurrence of CDI
Time Frame: Up to 24 weeks after treatment
Up to 24 weeks after treatment
Relative risk of recurrence of CDI up to 4, 12, and 24 weeks after treatment
Time Frame: Up to 4, 12, and 24 weeks after treatment
Up to 4, 12, and 24 weeks after treatment
