Following the first episode, up to 15% of people experience recurrent disease. A major risk factor for recurrent disease is exposure to systemic antibiotics.\n\nOral vancomycin given four times daily is one of the treatments for Clostridium difficile infection; it is not known if giving oral vancomycin at a lower dose such as once daily may help prevent recurrences. Oral vancomycin may be most helpful in preventing recurrences when given to patients at greatest risk of recurrent disease, such as when they are receiving systemic antibiotics.\n\nTo evaluate this, the investigators propose comparing the rates of recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in patients who receive oral vancomycin with systemic antibiotics to when patients take systemic antibiotics alone.'}, 'eligibilityModule': {'sex': 'ALL', 'stdAges': ['ADULT', 'OLDER_ADULT'], 'minimumAge': '18 Years', 'healthyVolunteers': False, 'eligibilityCriteria': 'Inclusion Criteria:\n\n* Age 18 years and older\n* Any history of Clostridium difficile infection based on a positive Clostridium difficile stool test performed at a lab affiliated with Rochester Regional Health System or patient report\n* A new in-patient admission, with an antibiotic treatment plan for greater than 48 hours\n\nExclusion Criteria:\n\n* Documented allergy and/or adverse drug reaction to vancomycin\n* Pregnant\n* Patients who are admitted with a current episode of Clostridium difficile infection\n* Patients with total colectomy'}, 'identificationModule': {'nctId': 'NCT03200093', 'briefTitle': 'Oral Vancomycin for Preventing Clostridium Difficile Recurrence', 'organization': {'class': 'OTHER', 'fullName': 'Rochester General Hospital'}, 'officialTitle': 'Secondary Prophylaxis With Oral Vancomycin for Clostridium Difficile Recurrence: A Randomized Control Study', 'orgStudyIdInfo': {'id': 'CIC 1745-B-17 Laguio-Vila'}}, 'armsInterventionsModule': {'armGroups': [{'type': 'EXPERIMENTAL', 'label': 'Oral vancomycin', 'description': 'Oral vancomycin solution 125 mg in 2.5 mL, combined with 2.5 ml Ora-Sweet solution, to total 5 mL.\n\nTaken by mouth once daily for:\n\n1.
