A Phase 2 Open-label Clinical Trial Demonstrating the Safety of RBX2660 Microbiota Suspension for the Treatment of Recurrent Clostridium Difficile-associated Diarrhea (CDAD): the PUNCH CD Study
This study will assess the safety of a new biologic drug, RBX2660 (microbiota suspension) as
a treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), which is the
primary symptom of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. All eligible subjects will
receive RBX2660.
a treatment for recurrent Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD), which is the
primary symptom of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection. All eligible subjects will
receive RBX2660.
This is the first study of a microbiota suspension derived from intestinal microbes. The
primary assessments for this open label, multi-center study are (i) occurrence of
product-related adverse events and (ii) resolution of CDAD at 56 days after administration of
RBX2660. Subjects will also be assessed for time to CDAD recurrence, quality of life changes,
and number of hospitalizations and length of stay for recurrent CDAD. Study visits will be at
7, 30, and 60 days after RBX2660 administration with additional follow-up at 3 and 6 months
post treatment. Patients who have had at least two recurrences of CDAD after a primary
episode and have completed at least two rounds of standard-of-care oral antibiotic therapy or
have had at least two episodes of severe CDAD resulting in hospitalization may be eligible
for the study.

enrollment.
- Life expectancy of < 12 months.
- Compromised immune system, e.g., HIV infection (any CD4 count); AIDS-defining
diagnosis or CD4 <200/mm3; inherited/primary immune disorders; immunodeficient or
