Brief Summary

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

D8820C00001 is an exploratory, non-interventional, unblinded, observational study evaluating the acceptability, feasibility and performance of methods to collect, transport and test biospecimens in participants ≥ 18 years of age with an active CDI. Participants will also be monitored for recurring episodes of diarrhea and will need to complete validated PROs and study evaluation questionnaires

Detailed Description

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

The premise of D8820C00001 study is to monitor participants for recurring episodes of diarrhea and evaluate acceptability and feasibility of the use of the digital tools and patient outcome measures. The aim will be to enroll two cohorts of patients; the first will be the Monitoring cohort, enrolling a targeted minimum of 20 and a maximum of 100 participants who will be followed through Day 42, with a screening period from start of standard of care treatment to Day 1 (see Section 2.1.1). The second will be the Discard Stool cohort, enrolling up to 200 participants, who will not be followed during the study but who will provide consent for the use of any discarded stool specimens that will not be used for additional laboratory diagnostic testing .

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Monitoring Cohort

Monitoring cohort will enroll a targeted minimum of 20 and a maximum of 100 participants ≥ 18 years of age who have been recently diagnosed with CDI by a licensed HCP and are receiving SOC antibiotic treatment, with treatment starting ≤ 5 days before study enrollment. Participants will be recruited from hospitals which perform C difficile laboratory diagnostic testing. Recruitment will occur over a 6-month period. Participants will be followed through Day 42, with a screening period from Day -5 to Day 1

No interventions assigned to this group

Discard Stool Cohort

The Discard Stool cohort will include stool specimens from up to 200 participants, ≥ 18 years of age, who have been recently diagnosed with CDI by a licensed HCP within the past 7 days. Participants in this cohort will be screened at the study site to confirm eligibility. Following the screening period, there will be no additional study activities for the participant to complete.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

1. Male or female participants ≥ 18 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent
2. Participants in the Monitoring and Discard Stool cohorts with an active treated CDI, defined as meeting all of the following:

* Prior to or at diagnosis of C. difficile, either diarrhea, defined as ≥ 3 unformed stools in a 24 hour period, with the stool being measured as Types 5, 6, 7 on the Bristol Stool Scale or evidence of megacolon, or severe ileus.
* A positive local stool test results for toxigenic C difficile collected before entry to the study or evidence of pseudomembranes demonstrated by endoscopy or histopathology.

For the Monitoring Cohort - positive test result immediately prior to start of or during SOC treatment.

For the Discard Stool Cohort - no more than 7 days prior to entry to the study.
* Stool test positive for only GDH or PCR and negative for toxin, provided there is observed clinical improvement noted by the Investigator within 5 days of start of SOC treatment, characterized by a reduction in diarrhea , in the the judgement of the Investigator
* Receiving SOC therapy for the treatment of CDI at the time of enrollment.
3. Able to complete all study assessments, and to understand and comply with study requirements/procedures (if applicable, with assistance by caregiver, surrogate, or legally authorized representative, or equivalent representative as locally defined) based on the assessment of the PI
4. Able to complete the Follow-up period through Day 42 based on the assessment of the PI.
5. If able, signed and dated written informed consent prior to any study specific procedures, including screening evaluations for participants who consent to participate in the Monitoring cohort. Ensure that participants who are considered by the Investigator clinically unable to consent at screening and who are entered into the study by the consent of a legally acceptable representative show evidence of assent, as applicable in accordance with local regulations.
6. Signed and dated written information consent prior to collection and testing of stool samples for participants in the Discard Stool cohort

Exclusion Criteria

1. Employees of AstraZeneca, clinical study site, or any other individuals directly involved with the conduct of the study, or immediate family members of such individuals. Employees of the clinical site or immediate families of these individuals not directly involved in the clinical study will be permitted to participate.
2. Deprived of freedom by an administrative or court order, or in emergency setting, or hospitalized involuntarily
