Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With the Occurrence of Antibiotic-associated Diarrhea (AAD) - Per Protocol (PP) Population
14 days

Diarrhea is defined as loose or watery stool (Type 5-7 according to Bristol Stool Form Scale (BSFS)), three times a day (frequent bowel movements with formed stool is not considered as diarrhea) in accordance with WHO criteria; based on the diary data (BSFS) and confirmation of AAD by the investigator. BSFS scale includes Types 1 to 7 where Types 1 and 2 indicate constipation, with 3 and 4 being the ideal stools as they are easy to defecate while not containing excess liquid, 5 indicate lack of dietary fiber, and 6 and 7 indicate diarrhea. AAD (antibiotic-associated diarrhea) is defined as diarrhea associated with the antibiotic use caused by C. difficile or of otherwise not identified etiology, upon analysis of stool samples and differential diagnostics according to investigator's judgment. Diarrhea was assessed in a diary.
