Brief Summary

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

This clinical study is conducted to assess the efficacy of cadazolid compared to vancomycin in subjects with Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD).

Detailed Description

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

Subjects selected to participate in the study are treated either with cadazolid or vancomycin for 10 days. At the end of treatment, clinical cure is assessed; subjects are then followed-up to assess any disease recurrence.
