Optimer Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: OPTR) announced that the results from its North American Phase 3 clinical study of fidaxomicin in patients with Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) were presented today by clinical investigator Thomas J. Louie, M.D. for the first time in an oral presentation at the 19th annual European Congress of Clinical Microbiology and Infectious Diseases (ECCMID) in Helsinki, Finland.
Dr. Louie presented the positive top-line results that the Company had previously announced in November 2008. The trial met its primary endpoint with fidaxomicin achieving clinical cure compared to Vancocin(R). In addition, patients treated with fidaxomicin experienced a reduction in CDI recurrence compared to Vancocin (p=0.004) and had a higher global cure (cure with no recurrence within four weeks) compared to Vancocin (p=0.006).
