Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Percentage of Subjects With Sustained Clinical Cure at Day 8

    A sustained clinical cure was attained if otorrhea was absent in the study ear at Day 8 (EOT) per the Investigator assessment and continued to be absent through the end of the study. Participants were considered a treatment failure if, at any time during the study, an alternative therapy was initiated to treat the postsurgical infection. All participants with missing or indeterminate outcomes were considered a failure (same as baseline observation carried forward).

    Day 8

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Percentage of Subjects With Microbiological Success at Day 14

    Day 14

  • Time to Cessation of Otorrhea

    Up to Day 14

You may qualify if:

  • Recurrent acute otitis media (RAOM) or chronic otitis media with effusion (COME) and eligible for bilateral myringotomy and tympanostomy tube insertion.
  • Suspected bacterial infection at time of surgery in at least 1 ear.
  • Willing to refrain from water immersion of the ears following surgery without the use of adequate ear protection during swimming, bathing, showering and other water-related activities.
  • Legally Authorized Representative (LAR) must read and sign the informed consent.
