Trial Outcomes & Findings for MORDOR II Burkina Faso: Longitudinal Trial (NCT NCT03676751)

NCT ID: NCT03676751

Last Updated: 2023-08-09

Results Overview

The primary outcome of the study was pre-specified as α-diversity (inverse Simpson's) at the genus level, expressed in effective number. The minimum of Simpson's index of diversity is 0, there is no maximum. Higher Simpson's index of diversity means more diverse. There are no subscales.

Timeframe: 2 weeks

Population: We were able to follow up with 221 patients in the azithromycin arm and 208 children in the placebo arm.

Presence of macrolide genetic resistance determinants measured using DNA-seq from rectal swabs from 450 children. Macrolide resistance is defined by resistance to erythromycin or clarithromycin. We compare the read numbers of macrolide resistance in each treatment group. A higher read number indicates more resistance.

L-1 norm distance on bacterial reads (intestinal) from rectal swabs of 50 children. L1-norm distance on bacterial reads (intestinal) - L1 norm is equivalent to Shannon's diversity. Shannon's Alpha Diversity combines richness and diversity. Shannon's index of diversity (alpha diversity) measures both the number of species and the inequality between species abundances. A large value is given by the presence of many species with well balanced abundances.

Reduce in normalized reads for Campylobacter species using DNA-seq from rectal swabs of 450 children. We compare the read numbers of Campylobacter species in each treatment group. Campylobacter is associated with disease. Reduction in Campylobacter species burden may reduce diarrhea-related mortality.
