Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Clinical Success at Test of Cure (TOC) for the intent-to-treat (ITT) population

    Meets the following definition for clinical success: continued complete resolution of the signs and symptoms of the ABSSI and no additional systemic antibacterial therapy is required

    7 to 14 days after the last dose of study drug

  • Clinical Success at Test of Cure (TOC) for the clinically evaluable (CE) population

    Meets the following definition for clinical success: continued complete resolution of the signs and symptoms of the ABSSI and no additional systemic antibacterial therapy is required

    7 to 14 days after the last dose of study drug

Secondary Outcomes (12)

  • Clinical Success at end of treatment (EOT) for the intent-to-treat (ITT) population

    10-14 days of study drug

  • Clinical Success at the test of cure (TOC) in the microbiological intent-to-treat (MITT) and population

    7 to 14 days after the last dose of study drug

  • Clinical Success at the end of treatment (EOT) for the Clinically evaluable (CE) population

    10-14 days of study drug

  • Clinical success at the end of treatment (EOT) for the microbiological intent-to-treat (MITT) population

    10-14 days of study drug

  • Clinical Success at end of treatment (EOT) for the microbiologically evaluable (ME) population

    10-14 days of study drug

  • +7 more secondary outcomes

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years+
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Diagnosis of acute bacterial skin-structure infection (ABSSI) of no more than 7 days duration which was suspected or proven to be caused, at least in part, by a gram-positive pathogen.
  • Eligible infections included cellulitis measuring at least 10 cm length and width or 100 cm squared, with or without a focal abscess, and surgical or traumatic wound infections
  • Infection which in the opinion of the investigator will require 10-14 days of antibacterial therapy.
  • Have at least 3 of the following local and/or systemic symptoms and/or signs of infection: purulent or seropurulent drainage/discharge, erythema, fluctuance, heat/localized warmth, pain/tenderness to palpation, swelling/induration, regional lymph node swelling or tenderness, temperature \>=100.4 degree F, increased white blood cell count, or bandemia.
  • Must not have received treatment with another systemic antibiotic for the current ABSSI.

You may not qualify if:

  • Superficial skin structure infections such as folliculitis, carbuncles, furunculosis, cutaneous abscesses, and simple cellulitis.
  • Infections involving burns, human or animal bites, or chronic diabetic foot ulcers.
  • Suspected polymicrobial infection involving Pseudomonas aeruginosa
  • Anticipated need for \>14 days of antibiotic therapy.
  • Infections complicated by the presence of prosthetic materials that will not be removed, such as permanent cardiac pacemaker battery packs, mesh, or joint replacement prosthesis.
  • Known significant renal, hepatic, or hematologic impairment.
  • Received prior potentially effective antimicrobial therapy for the acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection, unless they were failing therapy after 48 hours or had a gram-positive pathogen non-susceptible to prior therapy identified as a causative pathogen.
