• Study description:
  Patients with inflammatory bowel disease, fulminant or life threatening Clostridium difficile infection were excluded from the fidaxomicin clinical programs. Data on patients with renal or hepatic impairment and pregnant patients are limited. In order to fill this gap, the sponsor has proposed a retrospective, observational, multicentre drug utilisation study conducted in Europe based on secondary use of data derived from medical records.The objective of this drug utilisation study is to further assess the use of fidaxomicin in standard clinical practice and to collect information on patient use in reallife conditions, notably estimating the proportion of patients with a medical condition of specific interest among patients treated with fidaxomicin.Adult patients with a fidaxomicin prescription between the launch of the product and the date when the first site was contacted in a country are eligible for the study. Patients enrolled in a clinical trial involving fidaxomicin will not be considered for participation in the study.
