There is one clinical trial.
Investigation of efficacy and tolerability of bezlotoxumab in patients with cancer diagnosis in terms of preventing CDI recurrence.
Explore if genetic variants (SNP rs2516513 on xMHC, SNP genotype on IL-8 gene promotor, SNP rs2243250 IL-4 gene,….)
Description: Documentation of recurrent CDI infection
Measure: The proportion of patients with recurrent CDIs within 12 weeks of initial cure compared with historical group of patients selected with same inclusion/exclusion criteria (same center within 3 years of the start date of the study). Time: 12 weeksDescription: Pharmacoeconomic analysis
Measure: Determine if bezlotoxumab infusion add-on treatment is cost saving in patients with malignancies in terms of preventing CDI recurrence. Time: 12 weeksDescription: Genetic analysis is performed to describe gene type
Measure: Explore if genetic variants (SNP rs2516513 on xMHC, SNP genotype on IL-8 gene promotor, SNP rs2243250 IL-4 gene,….) are associated with increased recurrence of CDI in this patient population. Time: 12 weeks
