Improving Treatment Outcomes and Value for Recurrent Clostridium difficile Infection through a Platform Adaptive Trial
EF 2017-18
Résumé
The impact of recurrent C Diff (rCD) infection is debilitating, and disrupts the lives of patients and their families. Current standard treatments for rCD are only 40% effective. We propose to compare five different treatments for rCD, including freeze-dried fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), which is very effective but not widely accessible in Canada. Freeze-dried FMT offers significantly higher cure rates than current standard treatments, and can expand access to treatment while reducing costs and improving quality of life and productivity. We will identify which of the five treatments is the most effective and beneficial for patients and for the healthcare system.
