A Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of Fidaxomicin in Healthy Male Japanese and Caucasian Subjects

A Phase 1, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Dose Escalation Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability and Pharmacokinetics of Single and Multiple Ascending Doses of Fidaxomicin in Healthy Male Japanese and Caucasian Subjects

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics (PK) of single and multiple ascending doses of fidaxomicin in healthy subjects. This study will also compare the safety, tolerability and PK of single and multiple doses of fidaxomicin in healthy Japanese and Caucasian subjects.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Healthy Subjects; Pharmacokinetics of Fidaxomicin
• Intervention / Treatment: Drug: Placebo; Drug: Fidaxomicin
