Bezlotoxumab for the Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides difficile Infection: 12-Month Observational Data From the Randomized Phase III Trial, MODIFY II.

From Monoclonal Antibodies for C. difficile Therapy II, no participants (n = 0/69) with a sustained clinical cure through 12 weeks following bezlotoxumab infusion experienced recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) after 9 months (versus actoxumab + bezlotoxumab, n = 2/65; versus placebo, n = 1/34). Bezlotoxumab's efficacy appears to be due to prevention rather than delayed onset of rCDI. CLINICAL TRIALS REGISTRATION NCT01513239.
