Vancomycin Taper to Prevent Recurrent Clostridioides Difficile (NCT07328971)
Initial Vancomycin Taper for the Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides Difficile Infection 2: A Randomized Controlled Trial
🩺 Plain-English Summary (8th-Grade Level)
Indirect evidence from network meta-analyses of randomized controlled trials (RCTs) suggest that a pulse and taper (P-T) of vancomycin may be non-inferior to 10-days of fidaxomicin for the prevention of recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (rCDI). The aim of this trial is: 1\) For first episodes and first recurrences of CDI, to test whether a vancomycin P-T is non-inferior to 10-days of fidaxomicin for the prevention of rCDI at 56 days
