Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of oral vancomycin prophylaxis in preventing Clostridium difficile infections in patients hospitalized for allogeneic HSC transplantation. ;Secondary Objective: In HSCT patients, assess the impact of oral vancomycin prophylaxis on: - Prevention of CD infections occurring after stopping prophylaxis (qsp S12) - Prevention of CD infections in hospitalized patients for HSCT (qsp S5) - Prevention of CD infections in hospitalized patients with a diagnosis made by PCR detection of the toxigenic strain - Severity of CD infections occurring during treatment - Risk factors for CD infection: antibiotics received, presence of toxigenic strain on D0 of treatment, composition of the microbiota - Profile of bacterial infections occurring during treatment with vancomycin - Impact of the treatment on the intestinal microbiota - Emergence of enterococcus resistant to vancomycin - Occurrence of nosocomial clusters of CD infection up to W12 - Onset of acute or chronic GVHD - Relapse of hematological disease - MRT linked to the transplant procedure at 1 month - Overall survival at M12 ;Primary end point(s): Clostridium difficile infection, occurring between inclusion and discharge from hospital or the end of treatment with vancomycin (i.e. after 5 weeks of treatment (W5) if the patient is still hospitalized), defined by diarrhea (> 3 stools not formed / day) with detection of CD (GDH) and free toxin in the stool by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay without evidence for another etiology to diarrhea or existence of pseudomembranous colitis at endoscopy, colectomy or autopsy;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: D0 and W5

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): - Clostridium difficile infection, occurring between inclusion and W12, defined by diarrhea (> 3 unformed stools / day) with detection of CD and free toxin in the stool by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay without evidence for another etiology. diarrhea or existence of pseudomembranous colitis on endoscopy, colectomy or autopsy. - Time between inclusion and Clostridium difficile infection, occurring between inclusion and discharge from hospital or the end of treatment with vancomycin (i.e. after 5 weeks of treatment (W5) if the patient is still hospitalized), defined by diarrhea (> 3 unformed stools / day) with detection of CD (GDH) and free toxin in the stool by enzyme immunoassay without argument for another etiology to diarrhea or existence of pseudomembranous colitis with endoscopy, colectomy or autopsy or delay in hospital follow-up (for patients discharged or died without infection), at most at W5 - Clostridium difficile infection, occurring between inclusion and discharge from hospital or the end of treatment with vancomycin (i.e. after 5 weeks of treatment (W5) if the patient is still hospitalized), defined by diarrhea (> 3 stools not formed / day) with detection of toxinogenic CD by PCR without argument for another etiology to diarrhea or existence of pseudomembranous colitis at endoscopy, colectomy or autopsy. - Risk factors for CD infection: antibiotics received, presence of toxigenic strain on D0 of treatment (D0V), composition of the microbiota - Severity factors for CD infections occurring during the procedure - Documented bacterial infection (s) (regardless of the infectious focus) occurring during treatment with vancomycin (up to a maximum of 5 weeks) - Acquisition of rectal carriage of Vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) between randomization and the end of treatment (discharge from hospital or maximum S5) measured by rectal swabbing - Study of the intestinal microbiota at inclusion, during treatment (14 days after initia
