A Tapered-pulsed Fidaxomicin Regimen Following Treatment in Patients With Multiple <i>Clostridioides difficile</i> Infection Recurrences

Abstract

We treated 46 patients with multiple recurrent Clostridioides difficile infections (mrCDI) using a tapered-pulsed (T-P) fidaxomicin regimen, the majority of whom failed prior T-P vancomycin treatment. Sustained clinical response rates at 30 and 90 days were 74% (34/46) and 61% (28/46). T-P fidaxomicin shows promise for management of mrCDI.
