TR-701 FA vs. Linezolid for the Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections.

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Skin and Subcutaneous Tissue Bacterial Infections
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT01170221
Lead Sponsor
Trius Therapeutics LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA)
Brief Summary

This is a randomized, double-blind, double dummy, multicenter Phase 3 study of oral TR-701 FA 200 mg once daily for 6 days versus oral Zyvox® (linezolid) 600 mg every 12 hours for 10 days for the treatment of ABSSSI in adults.

Approximately 75 to 100 sites globally will participate in this study. Patients with an ABSSSI caused by suspected or documented gram positive pathogen(s) at baseline will be randomized 1:1 to study treatment

Detailed Description

The primary objective is to determine the noninferiority in the early clinical response rate of 6 day oral TR-701 FA compared with that of 10-day oral linezolid treatment at the 48-72 Hour Visit in the ITT analysis set in patients with ABSSSI.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Early Clinical Response Rate48-72 hours

Responder: No increase in lesion surface area from baseline and oral temperature ≤37.6°C

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Investigator's Assessment of Clinical Success at the Post Treatment Evaluation VisitPost-Treatment Evaluation (7-14 days after the End of Therapy)

Clinical success defined as resolution/near resolution of most disease-specific signs and symptoms, absence/near resolution of systemic signs of infection, if present at baseline, no new signs, symptoms, or complications attributable to the ABSSSIs so no further antibiotic therapy was required for the treatment of the primary lesion.

Clinical improvement was defined as improvement in overall clinical status.

Change From Baseline in Patient-reported Pain, by Study VisitMultiple

0=no pain, 10=worst pain Only 1 visit per participant for Day 4-6, only 1 visit for Day 7-9, and only 1 visit for Day 10-13.
