Brief Summary

To assess the safety and the preliminary efficacy data on the three doses of the new Cosmo Technologies oral rifamycin SV colon-release 200 mg tablets manufactured according to MMX technology (CB-01-11) in the treatment of infectious diarrhoea.

Detailed Description

To assess the safety and the preliminary efficacy data on the three doses of the new Cosmo Technologies oral rifamycin SV colon-release 200 mg tablets manufactured according to MMXTM technology (CB-01-11) in the treatment of infectious diarrhoea.

Primary end points to determine:

• The safety and preliminary efficacy data of the three doses of the new rifamycin SV formulation tested based upon the time elapsed from the ingestion of the 1st dose of study medication to the passage of the last unformed stool (TLUS), in compliance with the relevant guidelines

Secondary end-points to determine:

• The number of patients showing improvement in diarrhoea during a 24-h interval, i.e. >50 % reduction of bowel movements.
• The number of unformed stools passed per 24-h interval, after dosing.
• The number of patients who are declared to be "well". Wellness is defined as the patient having 48 hours with no unformed stools, a maximum of two soft stools and no clinical symptoms of infectious diarrhoea.
• The number of treatment failures. A treatment failure is defined as clinical deterioration or worsening of symptoms or illness continuing after 120 h following the first dose.
• The number and percentage of patients recovered from diarrhoea. Patients were considered to have recovered if fewer than three unformed stools were passed in the previous 24 hours and no symptom of enteric infection were present.
