A Study of Safety and Efficacy of MK-1986 (Tedizolid Phosphate) and Comparator in Participants From Birth to Less Than 12 Years of Age With Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (MK-1986-018)

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT03176134
Lead Sponsor
Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC
Brief Summary

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tedizolid phosphate (MK-1986) compared with comparator antibacterial agent in participants from birth to less than 12 years of age with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI).

Detailed Description

Participants will be randomized (3:1) to receive tedizolid phosphate at a weight-based dose ≤200 mg/day, intravenous (IV) and/or oral suspension for 6 to 10 days, or comparator IV and/or oral per local standard of care for 10 to 14 days. The switch from IV to oral administration can be made at any time based on 1) no worsening of the primary skin lesion, 2) last temperature \<37.7 °C, and 3) primary acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) site has not worsened and at least 1 site has improved from Baseline. The potential 4-day treatment extension will be based on clinical need as judged by the investigator, considering the following criteria: 1) ≥40% reduction in primary lesion size, 2) reduction in pain, and 3) no new signs and symptoms and no complications attributable to ABSSSI compared with Baseline.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of Participants With Hematopoietic CytopeniasUp to approximately 35 days

Hematopoietic cytopenia is a condition where there is a lower-than-normal amount of one or multiple kinds of blood cells. A standardized Medical Dictionary for Regulatory Activities (MedDRA) query for hematopoietic cytopenia was conducted. The number of participants with a hematopoietic cytopenia were reported.

Number of Participants Who Experienced an Adverse Event (AE)Up to approximately 35 days

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. Number of participants who experienced an AE were reported.

Number of Participants Who Discontinued Study Treatment Due to an AEUp to approximately day 15

An AE was any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention. An AE can therefore be any unfavourable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease (new or exacerbated) temporally associated with the use of a study intervention. Number of participants who experienced an AE were reported. The number of participants who discontinued study treatment due to an AE were reported.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response (CR) Per Investigator AssessmentUp to approximately 25 days

CR was defined as clinical success, failure or indeterminate as per investigator assessment. Success was all of the following: resolution/near resolution of most disease-specific signs \& symptoms, absence/near resolution of regional/systemic signs of infection if present at baseline (BL) \& no new signs, symptoms, or complications, so, no further antibiotic therapy required. Failure was any of the following: requires additional antibiotic therapy, unplanned major surgical intervention required due to study drug failure, developed osteomyelitis after BL, persistent gram+ bacteremia, treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE) leading to study drug discontinuation \& required additional antibiotic therapy to treat infection or death within 28 days of first infusion. Indeterminate was no efficacy data available. Per protocol, percentage of participants with CR for Cohorts 1, 2 \& 3 \& all cohorts together were reported, \& failure \& indeterminate responses were pooled.

Percentage of Clinically Evaluable (CE) Participants With CR Per Investigator AssessmentUp to approximately 25 days

CR was defined as clinical success, failure or indeterminate as per investigator assessment. Success was all of the following: resolution/near resolution of most disease-specific signs \& symptoms, absence/near resolution of regional/systemic signs of infection if present at BL \& no new signs, symptoms, or complications, so, no further antibiotic therapy required. Failure was any of the following: requires additional antibiotic therapy, unplanned major surgical intervention required due to study drug failure, developed osteomyelitis after BL, persistent gram+ bacteremia, treatment emergent adverse event leading to study drug discontinuation \& required additional antibiotic therapy to treat infection or death within 28 days of first infusion. Indeterminate was no efficacy data available.
