To analyse cost benefit of using fidaxomicin To analyse impact on LOS and bed days To analyse TTROD To develop local guidelines/protocol identifying patients with risk factors for recurrence/relapse EARLY To continue use of fidaxomicin in selected patients and with MDT consensus This meeting has been initiated and funded by Astellas Pharma Ltd.
Summary Small numbers Fidaxomicin well tolerated no patients needed to stop course Good clinical response initial data encouraging 3 relapses/recurrences so far 1 confirmed microbiologically, 2 clinical Early recognition of risk factors for relapse/recurrence would help teams find a place for fidaxomicin This meeting has been initiated and funded by Astellas Pharma Ltd.

Prescribing Information Dificlir TM (fidaxomicin) Prescribing Information Presentation: Dificlir tablets contain 200 mg fidaxomicin. Indication: The treatment of Clostridium difficile infections (CDI) also known as C. difficile-associated diarrhoea (CDAD) in adults. Consideration should be given to official guidelines on the appropriate use of antibacterial agents. Posology and method of administration: Adults and elderly ( 65 years of age): The recommended dose is one 200 mg tablet to be administered twice daily (once every 12 hours) for 10 days and can be taken with or without food. Paediatrics: The safety and efficacy of fidaxomicin in children aged below 18 years has not yet been established. Renal impairment: No dose adjustment is considered necessary. Use with caution in patients with severe renal impairment. Hepatic impairment: No dose adjustment is considered necessary. Use with caution in patients with moderate to severe hepatic impairment. Contraindications: Hypersensitivity to the active substance or to any of the excipients. Warnings and Precautions: Hypersensitivity reactions including severe angioedema have been reported. If a severe allergic reaction occurs during treatment with Dificlir, the medicinal product should be discontinued and appropriate measures taken. Due to limited clinical data, fidaxomicin should be used with caution in patients with severe renal impairment or moderate to severe hepatic impairment. Fidaxomicin should also be used with caution in patients with pseudomembranous colitis, fulminant or life threatening CDI. No data is available in patients with concomitant inflammatory bowel disease, caution should be used in these patients due to a risk of enhanced absorption and a potential risk for systemic adverse reactions. Coadministration of potent P-glycoprotein inhibitors such as cyclosporine, ketoconazole, erythromycin, clarithromycin, verapamil, dronedarone and amiodarone is not recommended. Drug interactions: Fidaxomicin is a substrate of P-gp and may be a mild to moderate inhibitor of intestinal P-gp. Co-administration of potent inhibitors of P-gp, such as cyclosporine, ketoconazole, erythromycin, clarithromycin, verapamil, dronedarone and amiodarone are not recommended. Fidaxomicin had a small but not clinically relevant effect on digoxin exposure. However, a larger effect on P-gp substrates with lower bioavailability, more sensitive to intestinal P-gp inhibition, such as dabigatran etexilat, cannot be excluded. Undesirable effects: Common ( 1/100 to < 1/10): vomiting, nausea, constipation. Uncommon ( 1/1,000 to < 1/100): rash, pruritus, decreased appetite, dizziness, headache, dysgeusia, abdominal distension, flatulence, dry mouth, increased alanine aminotransferase.
