Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI) causes substantial mortality and healthcare burden. We assessed the detoxified toxin-A/B PF-06425090 vaccine for primary CDI prevention.
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, and 6 months). Primary end points 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 end points), and antibiotic use (post hoc analysis) PD3 were evaluated. Tolerability and safety were assessed.
The primary end point was not met (17 PF-06425090 and 25 placebo recipients had first CDI episode ≥14 days PD3 [vaccine efficacy (VE) = 31.0% (96.4% confidence interval [CI], -38.7% to 66.6%)]; 24 PF-06425090 and 34 placebo recipients had first CDI episode ≥14 days PD2 [VE = 28.6% (96.4% CI, -28.4% to 61.0%)]. Median CDI duration was lower with PF-06425090 (1 day) versus placebo (4 days; 2-sided nominal P = .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% to 100.0%) and 0 PF-06425090 and 10 placebo recipients required antibiotic treatment (VE = 100%; 95% CI, 54.8% to 100.0%). Local reactions were more frequent in PF-06425090 recipients, and systemic events were generally similar between groups; most were mild to moderate. Adverse event rates were similar between groups.
Three PF-06425090 doses were safe and well tolerated. Although the primary end point was not met, PF-06425090 reduced symptom duration, CDI that required medical attention, and CDI-directed antibiotic treatment, highlighting its potential to reduce CDI-associated healthcare burden.

艰难梭菌感染(CDI)会导致大量死亡和医疗负担。我们评估了用于预防原发性CDI的去毒毒素A/B PF-06425090疫苗。
这项3期观察者盲法研究将≥50岁且CDI风险增加的人群(N = 17535)随机(1:1)分为两组,分别接受3剂PF-06425090或安慰剂(0、1和6个月)。主要终点是在第3剂后≥14天(PD3;第一个主要终点)和第2剂后≥14天(PD2;第二个主要终点)出现首次CDI发作(24小时内≥3次不成形大便;中心实验室确认毒素A/B阳性)。评估了CDI持续时间、CDI相关医疗护理需求(次要终点)以及PD3时的抗生素使用情况(事后分析)。评估了耐受性和安全性。
未达到主要终点(17名PF-06425090接受者和25名安慰剂接受者在PD3≥14天后出现首次CDI发作[疫苗效力(VE)= 31.0%(96.4%置信区间[CI],-38.7%至66.6%)];24名PF-06425090接受者和34名安慰剂接受者在PD2≥14天后出现首次CDI发作[VE = 28.6%(96.4% CI,-28.4%至61.0%)]。PF-06425090组的CDI持续时间中位数(1天)低于安慰剂组(4天;双侧名义P = 0.02)。在首次出现CDI发作的参与者中,0名PF-06425090接受者和11名安慰剂接受者寻求CDI相关医疗护理(事后分析估计VE = 100%;95% CI,59.6%至100.0%),0名PF-06425090接受者和10名安慰剂接受者需要抗生素治疗(VE = 100%;95% CI,54.8%至100.0%)。PF-06425090接受者的局部反应更频繁,两组间全身事件总体相似;大多数为轻至中度。两组间不良事件发生率相似。
3剂PF-06425090安全且耐受性良好。虽然未达到主要终点,但PF-06425090缩短了症状持续时间、减少了需要医疗护理的CDI以及针对CDI的抗生素治疗,突出了其减轻CDI相关医疗负担的潜力。
