A Study of CB-183,315 in Patients With Clostridium Difficile Associated Diarrhea

Overview

About this study

608 patients with Clostridium Difficile Associated Diarrhea (CDAD) will participate in this study and receive either oral vancomycin or CB-183,315 in a blinded fashion. Treatment will last for 10 days and participants will be followed up for at least 40 days and a maximum of 100 days. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how well CB-183,315 treats CDAD as compared to vancomycin.
