VE303 for Prevention of Recurrent Clostridioides Difficile Infection
(RESTORATiVE303)
What this study is about
The overall objective of the RESTORATiVE303 study is to evaluate the safety and the Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) recurrence rate at Week 8 in participants who receive a 14-day course of VE303 or matching placebo. The objectives and endpoints are identical for Stage 1 (recurrent CDI) and Stage 2 (high-risk primary CDI).

Interventions
BIOLOGICAL
VE303
VE303 is a live biotherapeutic product (LBP) consisting of 8 clonally derived, nonpathogenic, nontoxigenic, commensal bacteria strains manufactured under Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) conditions.
BIOLOGICAL
Placebo
Placebo capsules contain microcrystalline cellulose. Placebo capsules are visually identical to and not discernible from VE303 capsules. Placebo capsules will not contain any VE303 drug product.
Primary outcome measures
CDI Recurrence Rate at Week 8
Time frame: 8 weeks
Proportion of participants with laboratory-confirmed CDI recurrence before or at Week 8.

- Age ≥ 75 years with a laboratory-confirmed qualifying episode of CDI
- OR age ≥ 12 years where permitted, and ≥ 18 years in other locations, with least two of the following risk factors: 1. Age ≥ 65 years 2. Kidney dysfunction, defined as estimated creatinine clearance \< 60 mL/min/1.73 m\^2 at the time of the qualifying CDI episode 3. History of regular use of a proton pump inhibitor (PPI) within the past 2 months and expectation of continued use of PPIs throughout the study 4. History of a prior CDI episode between 6 and 12 months prior to enrollment 5. Immunosuppression due to an underlying disease or its trea

Frequently asked questions
What is a clinical trial?
A clinical trial is a research study that tests new medical treatments, drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their safety and effectiveness. Trials are carefully designed and monitored to protect participants while advancing medical knowledge.
Is it safe to participate?
Clinical trials follow strict safety guidelines and ethical standards. Trials must be reviewed and approved, and participants are closely monitored by medical professionals throughout the study. You can withdraw at any time if you choose.
Will I be compensated?
Many clinical trials offer compensation for your time, travel expenses, and inconvenience. The specific compensation varies by study and will be discussed during the screening process. All study-related medical care is typically provided at no cost to participants.
Will I receive a placebo instead of treatment?
When effective treatment exists, participants typically receive either the standard treatment plus the study intervention, or the standard treatment plus placebo. You would not be denied effective care. Placebos are primarily used when no proven treatment is available, or in addition to standard care. Your trial consent form will clearly explain what treatments you may receive.
Can I leave a trial if I change my mind?
Absolutely. Participation in clinical trials is completely voluntary. You have the right to withdraw from the study at any time, for any reason, without penalty or loss of benefits to which you are otherwise entitled.
How long does a clinical trial last?
Trial duration varies widely depending on the study design and purpose. Some trials last just a few weeks, while others may continue for months or years. The study coordinator will provide specific timeline information during your screening call.
