theflyonthewall.com: Optimer Pharm announces results from second Fidaxomicin Phase 3 study
Optimer Pharmaceuticals announced positive top-line results from the second of two pivotal Phase 3 trials evaluating the safety and efficacy of fidaxomicin, or OPT-80, in patients with Clostridium difficile Infection. The trial met the primary endpoint of non-inferiority with 91.7% of patients treated with fidaxomicin achieving clinical cure vs. 90.6% for Vancocin, the only FDA-approved therapy for CDI. Importantly, fidaxomicin also had significantly lower recurrence rates and higher global cure rates compared to Vancocin. :theflyonthewall.com
