Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the efficacy of the investigational medicinal product (MBK-01) compared to the control medication (fidaxomicin), 8 weeks after the treatment completion.;Secondary Objective: Secondary purposes entail evaluating the safety of the investigational medicinal product and the quality of life for patients participating in the study.;Primary end point(s): Absence of diarrhea: Number of episodes of diarrhea (3 or more stools/24 hours);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Time 0, 1 week, 4 weeks, 8 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Duration of hospitalisation: time, in days, that the patient remains in the hospital, from the moment the informed consent is signed until they are discharged after receiving the investigational medicinal product - Good/bad progress of the patient. A bad progress of the patient is defined as the appearance of complications requiring an admission in an ICU - Time to recurrence/relapse depending on ramdomisation groups - Duration of treatment (days) - Overall survival: percentage of patients that are still alive after a defined period of time from the beginning of the treatment - Number of Adverse Events per ramdomisation group - Type of Adverse Events per ramdomisation group - Number of Serious Adverse Events per ramdomisation group - Type of Serious Adverse Events per ramdomisation group - Adverse Events related to the treatment - Adverse Event Seriousness - Adverse Events related to the CDI - Mortality associated with CDI - Intensive Care Unit admissions (ICU) - Adverse Events of special interest - SF36 questionnaire to evaluate the quality of life;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: - From time 0 until the patient is discharged - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the treatment completion - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - From time 0 to the end of the study - Time 0, 8 weeks, and 6 months
