Clostridium Difficile Diagnostics and Treatment Market – Insights

Clostridium difficile is a disease caused by bacteria. Symptoms of the disease includes diarrhea, nausea, colon inflammation, and others. Clostridium difficile infection affects older adults, and according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2015, clostridium difficile infection is the most common healthcare-associated infection. Furthermore, frequent use of antibiotic medication is also responsible for clostridium difficile infection, as antibiotics kill normal flora (good bacteria) and allow for multiplication of C. difficile bacteria. Common symptoms of clostridium difficile infection include watery diarrhea, dehydration, fever, nausea, loss of appetite, and weight loss. Life threatening symptoms of the disease includes abdominal distension, severe abdominal pain, and profuse diarrhea. Clostridium difficile infection management includes diagnosis of the infection using various tests and medication therapies using antibiotics such as Vancomycin and Fidaxomicin.

Rising prevalence of clostridium difficile infection is expected to boost growth of the market over the forecast period

Incidence of clostridium difficile infection has been witnessing an increase in the recent past, due to clostridium difficile infection recurrence and antibiotic resistance. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 2015, around half a million people in the U.S. suffer from clostridium difficile infection in a year. Moreover, according to National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), an estimated 37,900 patients were suffering from clostridium difficile infection in Canada in 2012. A review and meta-analysis of studies published in National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2016, conducted in China between 2010 and 2016 showed significant incidence of clostridium difficile infection in China. FThe global clostridium difficile diagnostics and treatment market was valued at US$ 1,272.2 million in 2016 and is expected to witness a robust CAGR of 8.2% over the forecast period (2017–2025).

Robust pipeline of various therapies is expected to boost growth of the clostridium difficile treatment market over the forecast period

Standard antibiotic drugs such as metronidazole, Vancomycin, and Fidaxomicin have been used for the treatment of clostridium difficile infection (CDI) since the recent past. Currently, there is no alternative therapies apart from antibiotics available for the treatment of clostridium difficile infection and only option available is surgery (in severe cases), fecal microbiota transplant, and probiotics in case of recurrent clostridium difficile infection. However, Manufacturers such as Rebiotix, Inc., Synthetic Biologics, Inc., Da Volterra, Crestovo LLC, and Immuron Ltd. have various microbiome therapeutics (new class of drugs) in pipeline for clostridium difficile infection indication. Rebiotix, Inc. has RBX7455 capsule in Phase 1 clinical trials, Synthetic Biologics Inc. has SYN-004 (ribaxamase) in Phase 2 clinical trials, and Da Volterra has DAV132 in clinical trials for antibiotic induced clostridium difficile infection. If these drugs show success in clinical trials, it could provide an alternative therapy for conventional antibiotics for treatment of the disease. Furthermore, probiotics are also gaining traction as they allow growth of natural flora through restoring natural balance of bacteria in the gut.
