Abstrakt: Background: Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes substantial mortality and healthcare burden. We assessed the detoxified toxin-A/B PF-06425090 vaccine for primary CDI prevention.
Methods: This phase 3 observer-blinded study randomized (1:1) ≥50-year-olds at increased CDI risk (N=17,535) to receive 3 PF-06425090 or placebo doses (0,1,6-months). Primary endpoints were first CDI episode (≥3 unformed stools within 24 hours; central laboratory-confirmed toxin A/B positive) ≥14 days post-dose 3 (PD3; first primary) and post-dose 2 (PD2; second primary). CDI duration, need for CDI-related medical attention (secondary endpoints), and antibiotic use (post hoc analysis) PD3 were evaluated. Tolerability/safety was assessed.
Results: The primary endpoint was not met (17 PF-06425090 and 25 placebo recipients had first CDI episode ≥14 days PD3 [vaccine efficacy (VE)=31.0% (96.4%CI: -38.7%-66.6%)]; 24 PF-06425090 and 34 placebo recipients had first CDI episode ≥14 days PD2 [VE=28.6% (-28.4%-61.0%)]). Median CDI duration was lower with PF-06425090 (1 day) versus placebo (4 days; 2-sided nominal P=0.02). Of participants with first CDI episode, 0 PF-06425090 and 11 placebo recipients sought CDI-related medical attention (post hoc analysis estimated VE=100% [95%CI: 59.6%-100.0%]) and 0 PF-06425090 and 10 placebo recipients required antibiotic treatment (VE=100% [54.8%-100.0%]). Local reactions were more frequent in PF-06425090 recipients and systemic events were generally similar between groups; most were mild-to-moderate. AE rates were similar between groups.
Conclusions: Three PF-06425090 doses were safe and well-tolerated. Although the primary endpoint was not met, PF-06425090 reduced symptom duration, CDI requiring medical attention, and CDI-directed antibiotic treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce CDI-associated healthcare burden.
