On March 10, 2023, PLF participated in the first-ever Food & Drug Administration (FDA) Patient Listening Session for C. diff. Speaking were seven C. diff survivors, three C. diff caregivers, and one clinician. In addition, 70 FDA staff from 26 offices/divisions across four FDA Centers attended. Insights from the Listening Session help inform regulatory decisions and improve the safety and effectiveness of C. diff treatments.
