Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percentage of Participants With Response of Very Convenient or Somewhat Convenient | Day 11 | Participant reported outcome questionnaire was the assessment of participant's convenience with drug treatment based on following categories: very convenient or somewhat convenient and not convenient or not at all convenient. Value of 1 was reported if participant answered 'very convenient' or 'somewhat convenient' and 0 if participant answered 'not convenient' or 'not at all convenient'. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Percent Compliance With Prescribed Treatment Regimen | Day 11 | Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed). |
| Percentage of Participants Who Were 100 Percent Compliant With Prescribed Treatment Regimen | Day 11 | Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed). Value of 1 was reported if percent compliance equals to 100, and 0 if percent compliance was non-missing and less than 100. |

Outcome results
Percentage of Participants With Response of Very Convenient or Somewhat Convenient
Participant reported outcome questionnaire was the assessment of participant's convenience with drug treatment based on following categories: very convenient or somewhat convenient and not convenient or not at all convenient. Value of 1 was reported if participant answered 'very convenient' or 'somewhat convenient' and 0 if participant answered 'not convenient' or 'not at all convenient'.
Time frame: Day 11
Population: The Full Analysis Set (FAS) population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy evaluation. 'N' signifies number of participants with non-missing data. Missing observations were not imputed.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Azithromycin | Percentage of Participants With Response of Very Convenient or Somewhat Convenient | 100.0 Percentage of Participants |
| Amoxiclav | Percentage of Participants With Response of Very Convenient or Somewhat Convenient | 72.9 Percentage of Participants |
Percentage of Participants Who Were 100 Percent Compliant With Prescribed Treatment Regimen
Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed). Value of 1 was reported if percent compliance equals to 100, and 0 if percent compliance was non-missing and less than 100.
Time frame: Day 11
Population: The FAS population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy evaluation.
| Arm | Measure | Value (NUMBER) |
|---|---|---|
| Azithromycin | Percentage of Participants Who Were 100 Percent Compliant With Prescribed Treatment Regimen | 100.0 Percentage of Participants |
| Amoxiclav | Percentage of Participants Who Were 100 Percent Compliant With Prescribed Treatment Regimen | 91.7 Percentage of Participants |
Percent Compliance With Prescribed Treatment Regimen
Percent compliance with the prescribed treatment regimen was calculated as 100 multiplied by (number of tablets taken by the participant divided by number of tablets prescribed).
Time frame: Day 11
Population: The FAS population included all participants who received at least 1 dose of study medication and had at least 1 post-baseline efficacy evaluation.
| Arm | Measure | Value (MEAN) | Dispersion |
|---|---|---|---|
| Azithromycin | Percent Compliance With Prescribed Treatment Regimen | 100.00 Percent compliance | Standard Deviation 0 |
| Amoxiclav | Percent Compliance With Prescribed Treatment Regimen | 99.00 Percent compliance | Standard Deviation 3.88 |
