“"DIFICID Drug Insight and Market Forecast - 2032" report provides comprehensive insights about DIFICID for clostridium difficile infection (CDI) in the seven major markets. A detailed picture of the DIFICID for clostridium difficile infection in the 7MM, i.e., the United States, EU4 (Germany, France, Italy, and Spain) and the United Kingdom, and Japan for the study period 2019 -2032 is provided in this report along with a detailed description of the DIFICID for clostridium difficile infection. The report provides insights about mechanism of action, dosage and administration, as well as research and development including regulatory milestones, along with other developmental activities. Further, it also consists of future market assessments inclusive of the DIFICID market forecast analysis for clostridium difficile infection in the 7MM, SWOT, analysts' views, comprehensive overview of market competitors, and brief about other emerging therapies in clostridium difficile infection.
DIFICID (fidaxomicin), manufactured by Merck & Co and Astellas Pharma, is a macrolide antibiotic used to treat CDAD in adults and children 6 months of age or older. C. difficile is a bacterium that can cause an infection that can damage the colon and cause stomach pain and severe diarrhea.
Fidaxomicin (also known as OPT-80 and PAR-101) is a novel antibiotic agent, and the first representative of a new class of antibacterials called macrocycles. It has a narrow-spectrum antibacterial profile mainly directed against C. difficile and exerts moderate activity against some other gram-positive species. The drug product is poorly absorbed and exerts its activity in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, which is an advantage when used in the applied indication and treatment of CDI (also known as CDAD).
DIFICID is administered orally with or without food. The recommended dosage for adults is one 200 mg DIFICID tablet orally twice daily for 10 days. For pediatric patients weighing at least 12.5 kg and can swallow tablets, the recommended dosage is one 200 mg DIFICID tablet orally twice daily for 10 days. If unable to swallow tablets, pediatric patients may be dosed with DIFICID oral suspension.
The structure of fidaxomicin includes an unsaturated 18-membered macrocyclic core. It is isolated from a strain of the bacterium dactylosporangium aurantiacum and is a member of the tiacumicin family. Fidaxomicin inhibits bacterial protein synthesis by binding to RNA polymerase. The bactericidal activity against C. difficile is followed by a post-antibiotic effect of 6-10 h for fidaxomicin and 3 h with OP-1118, its active metabolite.
