Background. Previous Studies have demonstrated a correlation between Clostridium difficile anti-toxin A serum antibodies and protection against symptomatic disease and recurrenceMethods. A neutralizing monoclonal antibody to C difficile toxin A (CDA1)developed by MBL and Medarex, Inc was studied in a phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial in patients receiving standard of care treatment for C difficile infection (CDI) Twenty-nine subjects received a single intravenous infusion of 10 mg/kg CDA1 and 17 subjects received placebo and were evaluated for recurrence of CDI during the 56-day study period Serum antibodies against C difficile toxin A and B were measured by ELISA and cytotoxicity assay at various time points before and after infusion.Findings. CDI recurrence occurred in 5 of 29 (17%) in the CDA1 group and 3 of 17 (18%) (p = NS) in the placebo group with a trend toward delay in time to recurrence in the group treated with CDA1 The geometric mean concentration of antibody to an epitope of the receptor-binding domain of toxin B (0 300 and 1 20 mu g/ml, respectively. p = 0 02) and geometric mean titer of neutralizing B antibody (8 00 and 100, respectively. p = 0 02) at Study day 28 were lower for those Subjects with recurrence compared to those who did not recur In addition, a significantly greater proportion of subjects who recurred were infected with the epidemic BI/NAP1/027 strain compared with those that did not recur (88% vs. 22%, p = 0 002). Finally. in a multiple logistic regression analysis neutralizing anti-toxin B at day 14 (p < 0 001). anti-toxin A at day 28 (p < 0.001) and infection with the BI/NAP1/027 strain at enrollment (p = 0 002) were all predictive of CDI recurrenceInterpretation. In this prospective study, lower concentrations of neutralizing anti-toxin B and anti-toxin A antibody and infection with the BI/NAP1/027 strain of C difficile were significantly associated with recurrence of CDI (D 2009 Elsevier Ltd All rights reserved
