Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  • The patient provides written, before the clinical trial is initiated
  • The patient has distinctive symptoms and findings of bacterial enteritis
  • The patient has bacterial enteritis with one or more of the following causative pathogens either proven or presumed: C. difficile, Salmonella, Campylobacter, pathogenic E. coli, and other bacteria estimated to cause bacterial enteritis
  • The patient and his/her partner are willing to take measures from initiation of medicinal products (IMPs) to 4 weeks after administration of IMPs

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  • The patient has severe or progressive underlying disease or complication, making it difficult to ensure safety in the study or proper efficacy assessment
  • The patient has a current diagnosis or history of convulsive disorders, such as convulsion and epilepsy
  • The patient has a severe hepatic dysfunction
  • The patient has a severe cardiac dysfunction
  • The patient has cardiac arrhythmia or congenital or sporadic long syndrome. Or the patient is treated with a drug reported to prolong QTc interval
  • The patient has a moderate or severe renal dysfunction
  • Women with confirmed or suspected pregnancy or breast-feeding women
  • Patients judged to be ineligible by the investigator for any other reasons
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(4)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

QT and QTc

On an ECG, the QT interval is the time the heart’s lower chambers take to activate electrically and recover in each beat. QTc is that time adjusted for heart rate (QTcF by Fridericia’s formula, QTcB by Bazett’s). Some medicines lengthen it, and a long QTc can raise the risk of a dangerous heart rhythm.

The study may name a correction formula and a limit in milliseconds, often around 450–480.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Bacterial Elimination Rate (BER) in the CDI and EI Groups

    Judged according to the assessment criteria for the bacterial strain isolated as the causative pathogen based on the data from the microbiological examination. Analysis was performed by disease group and by dose, and by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values of OPS-2071 for each of the causative strains (Enterotoxigenic E. coli, Enteroaggregative E. coli, Campylobacter sp., C. jejuni, S. aureus, K. oxytoca, and C. perfringens for the EI group). Data were shown as all strains total. Concerning microbiological outcome by causative strain, bacteria elimination rate (BER) and its 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The BER was the proportion of causative strains assessed as either "Excellent" or "Good" except for those assessed as "unknown/indeterminate".

    Time frame: CDI group: screening, Day 4 and Day 11 (end of treatment), EI group: screening, Day 4 and Day 8 (end of treatment)

  2. Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of OPS-2071 on Day 4

    We measured OPS-2071 concentration in plasma and evaluated Cmax of OPS-2071 in plasma.

    Time frame: Inpatient: 1h, 2h, and 4h after morning administration

  3. Time to Maximum Plasma Concentration (Tmax) of OPS-2071 on Day 4

    We measured OPS-2071 concentration in plasma and evaluated tmax of OPS-2071 in plasma.

    Time frame: 1h, 2h, and 4h after morning administration

Secondary outcomes

  1. The Recurrence Rate of CDI After Multiple Doses of OPS-2071 (for CDI Group Only)

    CDI recurrence rate at follow-up (Day 38) or withdrawal was calculated. CDI recurrence rate was the proportion of the subjects judged as "recurrent" against evaluable subjects, except for those with missing data.

    Time frame: Day 38

  2. The Time to Resolution of Diarrhea After Multiple Doses of OPS-2071

    The time from the start of dosing until the first formed stool (except in cases where liquid or unformed stools recurred) was evaluated as time to resolution of diarrhea. If formed stool has not been observed, then the subject will be handled as missing data.

    Time frame: CDI group: Day 4, Day 11 (end of treatment) and Day 38, EI group: Day 4 and Day 8 (end of treatment)

  3. Stool Frequency Per Day After Multiple Doses of OPS-2071

    Under each disease group, the improvement of clinical symptoms (stool frequency/day) were assessed.

    Time frame: CDI group: screening, Day 4, Day 11 (end of treatment) and Day 38, EI group: screening, Day 4 and Day 8 (end of treatment)

  4. Number of Subjects With Formed Stool, Liquid or Unformed Stool, and Bloody Stool After Multiple Doses of OPS-2071

    Under each disease group, the improvement of clinical symptoms ((i.e. formed stool, liquid or unformed stool \[3 and more times\], and presence of bloody stool) were assessed.

    Time frame: CDI group: screening, Day 4, Day 11 (end of treatment) and Day 38, EI group: screening, Day 4 and Day 8 (end of treatment)

  5. Number of Subjects With Abdominal Pain, Nausea, and Vomiting After Multiple Doses of OPS-2071

    Under each disease group, he improvement of clinical symptoms (i.e. presence of abdominal pain, nausea, and vomiting) were assessed.

    Time frame: CDI group: screening, Day 4, Day 11 (end of treatment) and Day 38, EI group: screening, Day 4 and Day 8 (end of treatment)

  6. Clinical Response Rate (CRR) in the CDI and EI Groups

    The CRR and 95% CI at each evaluation time point were calculated. The CRR was calculated as the proportion of the subjects judged as "clinical cure" or "clinical improvement" against evaluable subjects, except for those with missing data.

    Time frame: CDI group: Day 4 and Day 11 (end of treatment), EI group: Day 4 and Day 8 (end of treatment)
