Study Summary

The primary objectives of this study are to evaluate the pharmacokinetics (PK), safety, and tolerability of bezlotoxumab (MK-6072) in children aged 1 to \<18 years of age with a confirmed diagnosis of Clostridium difficile infection (CDI) who are receiving antibacterial drug treatment. The primary hypothesis is that the area under the concentration-time curve from 0 to infinity (AUC0-inf) of bezlotoxumab after treatment of pediatric participants with bezlotoxumab is similar when compared to the AUC0-inf of bezlotoxumab after treatment of adults with bezlotoxumab.

Primary Outcome

Blood samples were collected at specified intervals for the determination of AUC0-inf. AUC0-inf was defined as the area under the concentration-time curve of bezlotoxumab from time zero to infinity. Per protocol, AUC0-inf of bezlotoxumab was determined for each age cohort.

Interventions
