Abstract

Background
Recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI) is common, with a prior CDI linked to a risk of up to 65% for subsequent recurrences. Fecal microbiota, live-jslm (RBL) is the first microbiota-based product approved in the US for the prevention of rCDI in adult patients following antibiotic treatment for rCDI. This study reports the characteristics and outcomes of patients with rCDI who were administered RBL in a real-world setting.

Methods
Adult patients with rCDI who received RBL either at home or a clinic from healthcare professionals affiliated with a home-care provider network were included. Patients were required to have at least 8 weeks of follow-up after RBL administration, with CDI recurrence status assessed at week 8. Patient demographics, clinical characteristics, administration setting, prior medication use, and prior healthcare resource utilization were collected. The primary outcome was CDI recurrence within 8 weeks post-RBL administration. All variables were summarized descriptively using median and interquartile range (IQR) for continuous outcomes and count and percentage for categorical variables.

Results
Between July 2023 and March 2024, 136 patients with rCDI received RBL, of whom 73 had at least 8-week follow up and reported CDI recurrence status at week 8. Patients had a median age of 63.0 years (IQR = 47.0, 76.0), 68.5% were female, most (74.0%) had ≥ 3 prior CDI recurrences, 5.5% had received fecal microbiota transplant, and 9.6% had received bezlotoxumab (Table). One third of patients (32.9%) had previously been hospitalized and 38.4% had prior emergency room visits due to CDI. Most patients were previously treated with antibiotics for rCDI: 39.7% with vancomycin only, 11.0% with fidaxomicin only, and 43.8% with both vancomycin and fidaxomicin. All patients, except for 4 with missing data, received RBL 24-72 hours post-antibiotics. Most patients (83.6%) received RBL at home. At week 8, the overall treatment success rate (no CDI recurrence) was 87.7% (87.3% [62/71] in RBL-naïve; 100% [2/2] in previously RBL-treated).

Conclusion
RBL was effective in preventing recurrence of CDI at 8 weeks in a real-world setting, where most patients received RBL at home. These results suggest that RBL is effective in managing rCDI, including in a home care setting.
