Investigators at IDWeek 2019 presented the final, 24-month analysis of data from a phase 2 open-label trial of RBX2660 for the prevention of CDI recurrence. Patients with multi-recurrent CDI were enrolled in the multicenter study and received > 2 doses of RBX2660 delivered via enema 7 days apart.

The research team defined efficacy as absence of CDI recurrence through 56 days after the last dose, and durability as continued absence of CDI episodes beyond 8 weeks. Results were compared with the 8-week recurrence-free rates for a historical control cohort that received standard-of-care antibiotic therapy.

Participant stool samples were collected prior to and for up to 720 days after treatment, and safety and durability assessments were performed at 3, 6 ,12, and 24 months. Investigators assessed microbiome changes via shallow shotgun sequencing.
