Brief summary
The primary purpose of this study on healthy volunteers is to determine the safety and tolerability of MRX-I, an orally administered antibiotic. There will be three Parts to the study. Part 1 will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of single dose administrations of MRX-I compared with placebo. Part 2 will assess the safety, tolerability and pharmacokinetics of a 14 day administration of MRX-I compared with placebo. Part 3 will compare the safety and tolerability of a 28 day administration of MRX-I with linezolid an active comparator. (please reference ACTRN12613001206718)
Interventions
Part 3 has a double-blind, comparative, double-dummy, two cohort design. This part of the study will enroll 12 subjects in each of two cohorts (total of 24 subjects). Subjects will be screened and then randomized in parallel to receive either oral MRX-I (800mg) or oral linezolid (600mg). Both will be administered once every 12 hours for 28 days. Subjects will be confined in a Clinical Research Unit during the dosing periods and will be monitored to ensure compliance with dosing.
