Study Summary

The purpose of this study is to develop evidence on the relative efficacy of 2 rifaximin chemoprophylaxis regimens for the prevention of Travelers' Diarrhea (TD) in a deployed setting. An additional purpose is to explore the effect of chemoprophylaxis on microbial flora and antimicrobial resistance, and obtain parameter estimates to inform a cost-effectiveness model of chemoprophylaxis in prevention of TD. Information from this study will be used to develop management guidelines for the prevention of TD among deployed (United States (US) and United Kingdom (UK) military personnel. The study will be a multi-site, randomized, placebo-controlled, double-blind, clinical trial among deployed military personnel. The study will test 2 TD chemoprophylaxis regimens (once daily versus twice daily) of the same antibiotic, rifaximin, compared to a placebo. For the proposed chemoprophylaxis study described herein, cohorts of military personnel (US and UK) deploying/traveling overseas will be recruited prior to travel to participate and will undergo enrollment procedures as outlined in study appendices. Subjects who are eligible and agree to participate will be randomized to receive one of 3 regimens: (1) rifaximin 550 mg daily; (2) rifaximin 550 mg twice a day; or (3) placebo, to be taken while deployed. Chemoprophylaxis will be maintained for duration of travel or a predetermined period of up to 6 weeks and at least 2 weeks, which may include a period of up to 5 days of use after return to COO for deployments less than 6 weeks in duration. Clinical and laboratory data will be obtained before, during if available and after deployment/chemoprophylaxis.
