Rifaximin 200 mg Plus Oral Rehydration vs Oral Rehydration Alone in Children With Acute Diarrhea
NCT07285785 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
Study Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how rifaximin 200 mg is processed in the body (pharmacokinetics) in children 6 to 11 years old with acute diarrhea that may be caused by bacteria. It will also learn about the safety and effectiveness of rifaximin when given with oral rehydration therapy (ORT) compared with ORT alone. The main questions it aims to answer are: How does rifaximin 200 mg move through and leave the body in children with acute diarrhea? Is rifaximin safe for children in this age group? Does rifaximin plus ORT help resolve diarrhea faster than ORT alone? Researchers will compare rifaximin plus ORT to ORT alone to see if adding rifaximin improves outcomes. Participants will: Take one rifaximin 200 mg tablet + ORT three times a day for 3 days or receive ORT alone Receive oral rehydration therapy according to the investigator's standard of care Attend up to 4 clinic visits over 5 days and receive 4 follow-up phone calls Provide blood samples on Day 1 and Day 3 for pharmacokinetic testing (rifaximin group only) Provide stool samples to identify bacterial pathogens Keep a diary of stool frequency and consistency to help determine when diarrhea resolves Be monitored for side effects, vital signs, and laboratory changes

Full Details on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT07285785
The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT07285785 describes a study currently listed as recruiting. It is categorized as Phase 4, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 54 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is Bausch Health Americas, which has 55 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.
The record links to 3 conditions, with Diarrhea appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 2 interventions — of which Rifaximin 200 mg Tablet is the first listed. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.
Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT07285785 reports 5 study locations spanning 3 distinct geographic areas — top geographies include Florida, Texas, Virginia. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
