The purpose of this study is to learn if an experimental antibiotic called TR-701 FA can safely and effectively treat an acute bacterial skin or skin structure infection. The experimental antibiotic will be tested against the already approved antibiotic Linezolid adminstered intravenous to oral. The sponsor of the study wants to prove, that the new medication isn't inferior regarding efficacy and safety as compared to the already approved medication Linezolid.

A Phase 3 Randomized, Double-Blind, Multicenter Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Intravenous to Oral 6-Day TR-701 Free Acid and Intravenous to Oral 10-Day Linezolid for the Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Patients who meet any of the following criteria are not eligible to participate in this study: 1. Uncomplicated skin and skin structure infections such as furuncles, minor abscesses (area of suppuration not surrounded by cellulitis/erysipelas), impetiginous lesions, superficial or limited cellulitis/erysipelas, and minor wound infections (eg, stitch abscesses) 2.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: The primary objective is to determine the noninferiority (NI) in the early clinical response rate of intravenous (IV) to oral 6 day TR-701 free acid (FA) compared with that of IV to oral 10-day linezolid treatment at 48 72 hours after the first infusion of study drug in the intent-to-treat (ITT) analysis set in patients with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). Early clinical response is defined by lesion area only.;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives include the following: • To compare the programmatic clinical response of 6-day TR-701 FA and 10 day linezolid treatment at the End of Therapy (EOT) Visit (Day 11) in the ITT and Clinically Evaluable at EOT (CE-EOT) analysis sets • To compare the Investigator’s assessment of clinical success at the Post-Therapy Evaluation (PTE) Visit (7-14 days after the EOT Visit) in the ITT and Clinically Evaluable at PTE (CE PTE) analysis sets • To compare the Investigator’s assessment of clinical response at the 48-72 Hour and Day 7 Visits in the ITT analysis set • To compare patient-reported pain, by study visit • To evaluate the safety profile of TR-701 FA in comparison with that of linezolid • To assess the population pharmacokinetic (PK) profile of TR-700 ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy outcome is the early clinical response rate at 48-72 hours after the first infusion of study drug in the ITT analysis set. Early clinical response (responder [=20% reduction from baseline in the area of erythema, edema, and/or induration from baseline of the primary ABSSSI lesion] and nonresponder) will be determined programmatically from lesion area measurements data recorded on the electronic case report form (e-CRF).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 48-72 hours visit

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Secondary outcome measures are the following: • Clinical response at the EOT Visit in the ITT and CE-EOT analysis sets • Investigator’s assessment of clinical success at the PTE Visit in the ITT and CE-PTE analysis sets. Patients assessed as a clinical failure at the EOT Visit are considered a clinical failure at the PTE Visit • Investigator’s assessment of clinical response at the 48-72 Hour and Day 7 Visits • Change from baseline in the pain scores at each time point Additional Efficacy Outcomes • Change from baseline in lesion size, assessment of local signs and symptoms, and regional or systemic signs (lymphadenopathy, temperature, percentage immature neutrophils, WBC count) • Per-patient favorable (eradication or presumed eradication) microbiological response at the PTE Visit in the microbiological ITT (MITT) and microbiologically evaluable (ME) analysis set. Per-patient microbiological response is based on per-pathogen outcomes • Per-pathogen microbiological response at the PTE Visit in the MITT and ME analysis sets • Investigator’s assessment of clinical success at the PTE Visit in the MITT and ME analysis sets • Per-pathogen Investigator’s assessment of clinical success at the PTE Visit in the MITT and ME analysis sets Safety Outcomes Safety will be assessed through summaries of AEs, laboratory evaluations (hematology and chemistry), vital signs, ECGs, physical examinations. Pharmacokinetic Analysis The objectives of the population PK analysis are: • To characterize the PK profile of TR-700 in patients, including estimation of typical PK parameters and interindividual and residual variability • To estimate the effects of individual-specific covariate factors of TR-700 PK in this population • To provide individual metrics of TR-700 exposure for modeling probabilities of clinical success, microbiological response, or safety outcomes ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 48-72 Hour Visit; Day 7 Visi
