C. diff Toxin Levels After Antibiotic Treatment
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at levels of C. diff toxins in stool after standard antibiotic treatment. It aims to understand how toxins change during recovery, which may help improve future treatments for C. diff infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You are currently being treated with antibiotics for a C. diff infection, or your doctor plans to start treatment.
- You have had a C. diff infection at least once in the past year.
- You will finish your antibiotic course within 5 days before your first study visit.
- You are not planning any other treatments for C. diff (like fecal transplant, probiotics, or other special therapies) during the 8-week study.
- You do not have any other serious health conditions (like severe diarrhea, Crohn's, ulcerative colitis, or an ostomy) that would interfere with the study.

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial compares three treatments for a severe diarrhea infection called C. diff: a fecal transplant (putting healthy donor stool into your gut), a newer antibiotic called fidaxomicin, and an older antibiotic called vancomycin. The goal is to see which works best and prevents the infection from coming back.
This trial tests if capsules containing fecal microbiota can prevent further Clostridioides difficile infections in people who have had at least two recurrences. If you've had multiple C. diff infections and your symptoms go away with antibiotics, this treatment might help keep them from coming back.
This study gives healthy volunteers a specially prepared dose of Clostridioides difficile (C. diff), a bacteria that can cause diarrhea and gut problems, to learn how the infection develops. By participating, you may help researchers better understand and prevent C. diff infections in the future.
This study tests whether specific lifestyle changes during treatment for C. difficile infection (a serious gut bacteria infection) can help prevent it from coming back. You'll receive standard antibiotic treatment and follow a controlled diet while researchers track your recovery.
This study is looking at people who were treated for C. diff (a serious gut infection) at Umeå University Hospital to see how they are doing years later. It compares people who got a fecal transplant (a treatment that restores healthy gut bacteria) with those who only took antibiotics.
This study is tracking patients with a confirmed C. difficile infection to understand how the body responds and how treatments work. You may be asked to do follow-up visits for up to 5 years.
