Brief summary
A Phase III trial to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of PTK 0796 in the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI).
Detailed description
The pharmacologic profile of PTK 0796 in humans suggests that it has the potential to be used safely and effectively for this indication. Data from in vitro and animal studies support this hypothesis. In PTK 0796-CSSI-0805 the safety and efficacy of PTK 0796 in the treatment of cSSSI will be compared to an antibiotic approved for this indication by the FDA. Initial treatment will be administered intravenously with the option for subsequent oral treatment.
Interventions
PTK 0796 100mg for injection; PTK 0796 tablet 150mg
For gram positive treatment: Linezolid 600 mg tablets and pre-mixed 600mg IV infusion solution; For gram negative treatment: Moxifloxacin 400mg tablets and pre-mixed 400mg IV infusion solution
