Summary

This trial aims to study the safety and recurrence rate of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) in participants who receive either VE303 or a placebo for 14 days. The study will

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults, especially those over 65 or with kidney issues, who have had Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recently or in the past year. It's also for people with weakened immune systems, organ transplant recipients, and regular users of stomach acid reducers. Children over 12 with CDI history can join too.
What is being tested?
The RESTORATiVE303 study tests VE303 against a placebo to see if it prevents CDI from coming back within eight weeks after treatment. Participants will take either VE303 or a placebo for two weeks and be monitored for safety and recurrence.
What are the potential side effects?
Specific side effects are not listed here but generally could include typical drug reactions such as gastrointestinal discomfort, potential allergic reactions, or other unforeseen responses related to VE303.
