This will be a double-blind comparative study, performed in pediatric subjects (Age 6-11) traveling to developing regions with a known high incidence of traveler's diarrhea. The subjects will be suffering from acute diarrhea for at least 12 hours, without symptoms of systemic infection.
Approximately 142 subjects are expected to be enrolled in the study, 1:1 in the Rifamycin SV MultiMatrix (MMX) plus Oral Rescue Therapy (ORT) group and in the placebo tablets plus ORT group respectively. The day of randomization (Visit 1, Day 1), the subjects will start the treatment receiving ORT plus Rifamycin SV MMX 100 mg (as two tablets of 50 mg each) twice daily (morning and evening) or ORT plus placebo tablets (as two tablets) twice daily (morning and evening). The subjects will begin the treatment within 72 hours of onset of diarrhea. Treatment duration will last 72 hours. The total number of tablets for the entire treatment course will be 12 (4 × 50 mg tablets/day for 3 days). The administration of the ORT will follow the specification reported in the product label. The tablets will be orally administered during the day. No tablet administration will be done during the night.
After enrollment, subjects/their parents/or guardians will complete Diary cards (PDC) in which will be daily recorded date, time of first tablets intake, time and consistency of each stool, presence of blood in stools, abdominal pain/cramps, flatulence, tenesmus, urgency, nausea, vomiting, fever, adverse events (AEs), and concomitant medications.
During the study, the subjects will be assessed for safety and efficacy at Visit 2 (Day 2) and Visit 3 (Day 4/5) as final Study Visit.
Stool samples for microbiological assessment will be collected at Visits 1 and 3. Stool will be examined and cultured at local labs for main enteropathogens and for the presence of protozoa, ova and yeasts.
Blood and urine sampling for routine safety analyses will be collected at Visit 1 and at Visit 3.

Exclusion Criteria:
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.
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.
An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Clinical Cure
Passage of two or fewer soft stools and no watery stools, no fever (\> 100.4 ºF or 38 ºC), and no signs or symptoms of enteric infection (other than mild excess gas/flatulence) during a 24-hour interval in the 120-hour data collection period after the first dose of study drug or Passage of no stools or only formed stools and no fever during a 48-hour interval in the 120-hour data collection period after the first dose of study drug, with or without other signs or symptoms of enteric infection.
Time frame: 120 hours
Time to last unformed stool (TLUS)
defined as the interval in hours between the first dose of study drug and the last unformed stool passed, after which clinical cure was declared. Subjects who meet the criteria for clinical cure immediately after the start of the study and prior to passing any unformed stools are defined as having a TLUS of 0 hours. Subjects who terminated the study early due treatment failure will have a censored TLUS of 120 hours.
Time frame: 120 hours
Microbiological Cure
The proportion of subjects with an identified pathogen at baseline with microbiological eradication in the post-treatment stool sample.
Time frame: 120 hours
Treatment Failure
Defined as either of the following: Worsening diarrhea and/or signs or symptoms of enteric infection or failure to improve 24 hours or more after the first dose of study drug that results in administration of rescue therapy and/or Not achieving Clinical Cure in the 120-hr data collection period after the first dose of study drug or use of antimicrobial prohibited concomitant medication. Occurrence of AEs.
Time frame: 120 hours

Start is estimated for Jun 2024; primary completion for Jun 2025, 12 months later.
Of 24 industry-sponsored phase 2 interventional studies under Diarrhea, half reached primary completion within 13 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 20. This study's planned 12 months is close to that.
Counting every sponsor, half of 47 studies reached it within 15 months; a quarter within 11 and three quarters within 29.
