About study.
Clostridioides difficile (C. diff) is a serious bacterial infection that affects the bowel and can cause severe diarrhoea, abdominal pain, dehydration and other potentially serious complications.
While anyone can develop C. diff, adults aged 65 and over are at greater risk of severe illness and hospitalisation.
In recent years, C. diff infections have increased across the UK, reaching their highest levels in more than a decade. This rise highlights the need for new approaches that may help prevent infection before it occurs.
We are inviting adults aged 65 and over to take part in a clinical trial evaluating an investigational vaccine designed to help prevent C. diff infection.
Researchers are studying whether this vaccine can help reduce the risk of developing C. diff, particularly among people who may be at increased risk of infection.
By taking part, you could contribute to important medical research that may help improve protection against C. diff for future generations.
Participation is entirely voluntary. All eligible participants will receive detailed information about the study before deciding whether to take part.
Why Participate?
• Help advance research into preventing C. diff infection
• Support the development of potential new prevention options
• Contribute to research that may benefit older adults in the future
• Play an active role in improving healthcare for future generations
Requirements.
If you are at increased risk of C. diff infection, we invite you to learn more about this clinical trial. You may be eligible if you:
Are aged 65 years or older; and meet at least one of the following criteria:
- Have been hospitalised within the last 12 months
- Have visited A&E two or more times within the last 12 months

What’s the commitment?
Flexible
Screening dates and study start dates are flexible to accommodate participants’ schedules. A study team member will share more details about the visit structure as part of your screening process.
What are the benefits?
Advance potential treatment options
Every clinical research trial is aimed at getting new therapies to those in need. Some may have immediate results for participants while other are helping shape the future landscape of medicine.
No-cost Healthcare
Clinical trials offer a baseline of health assessments at no-cost to study participants. Many studies offer additional assessments and data that are above the standard of care that you would typically receive from your doctor.
Compensation for participation
Many clinical trials offer financial compensation for participation to help cover the cost of associated time, travel and inconvenience.
Improving the lives of yourself and others
Lack of participation in the research phase is a leading cause in delay of effective treatments to the public. No matter the benefit to you, your participation in a clinical trial is key to getting new therapies to the world.
