Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a prospective, non-comparative, interventional, observational pilot study of the safety and pharmacokinetics of intravenous (IV) tigecycline in conjunction with standard oral therapy in patients with known mild to severe confirmed Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The intervention is adding Tigecycline (standard doses) to standard oral therapy for CDAD. Patients will then be observed for clinical outcomes and relapse of CDAD.

Clostridium difficile Patient

Open non-comparative trial

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tigecycline

Intervention Type DRUG

: Standard treatment doses of oral antibiotics (vancomycin or metronidazole) for CDAD along with IV tigecycline (100 milligram loading dose followed by 50 milligrams every 12 hours) will be given to patients during their hospitalization (usually 7-14 days). Patients well enough to go home will receive only oral therapy.

Tigecycline

: Standard treatment doses of oral antibiotics (vancomycin or metronidazole) for CDAD along with IV tigecycline (100 milligram loading dose followed by 50 milligrams every 12 hours) will be given to patients during their hospitalization (usually 7-14 days). Patients well enough to go home will receive only oral therapy.
