ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
We aimed to assess the comparative efficacy and safety of adjunctive interventions for the prevention of Clostridioides difficile recurrence.METHODS:
We searched Medline, Embase, CENTRAL, and clinicaltrials.gov up to May 2021. We included randomized controlled trials comparing interventions added to antibiotic therapy for prevention of CDI recurrence, to placebo or each other. Efficacy outcomes were CDI and diarrhea recurrence. Safety outcomes included the incidence of any adverse event (AE), serious AEs, and discontinuation due to AEs. We performed random-effects network meta-analysis. We ranked interventions based on SUCRA (surface under the cumulative ranking curve) probabilities. We assessed confidence in estimates utilizing the CINeMA (Confidence in Network Meta-Analysis) framework.RESULTS:
Fifteen trials (3909 patients) assessed 9 interventions. Oligofructose (OR 0.17; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.46), NTCD-M3 (OR 0.29; 95% CI, 0.12 to 0.68), rifaximin (OR 0.47; 95% CI, 0.24 to 0.93), RBX2660 (OR 0.47; 95% CI, 0.22 to 0.99), the combination bezlotoxumab/actoxumab (OR 0.47; 95% CI, 0.37 to 0.60), and bezlotoxumab (OR, 0.53; 95% CI, 0.42 to 0.68) were associated with lower incidence of CDI recurrence than placebo (moderate confidence). Oligofructose was ranked highest, however data for oligofructose were derived solely from one small trial. Probiotics, actoxumab and SER-109 were not superior to placebo (low confidence). Probiotics were not well tolerated (low confidence) and actoxumab showed high rates of serious AEs (moderate confidence).CONCLUSION:
Add-on treatment with oligofructose, NTCD-M3 spores, rifaximin, RBX2660, and bezlotoxumab likely reduces the risk of CDI. Evidence on probiotics and SER-109 are uncertain, thus adequately powered trials are warranted.Palavras-chave
