Inclusion criteria

* Patients, ages 18 years or older who have signed the informed consent * Has a qualifying skin and skin structure infection * Female patients must not be pregnant at the time of enrollment * Must agree to a reliable method of birth control during the study and for 30 days following the last dose of study drug

Exclusion criteria

* Infections where the outcome is strongly influenced by factors other than protocol-defined treatments and procedures, or that require antibacterial treatment for greater than 14 days * Evidence of significant immunological disease * Severe renal disease or requirement for dialysis * Evidence of septic shock * Has a history of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any tetracycline or to linezolid * Has received an investigational drug within the past 30 days * Women who are pregnant or nursing

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Early Clinical ResponseScreening; 48 to 72 hours after the first dose of test articleEarly clinical response is defined as clinical success, which is categorized as survival with at least a 20% reduction of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) primary lesion size compared to Screening measurements, without receiving any rescue antibacterial therapy. An indeterminate classification is used for a response that could not be adequately inferred because the participant was not assessed because they withdrew consent, were lost to follow-up, or other specified reason.

Participants may have had some residual changes related to infection requiring ancillary treatment. Clinical Failure was defined as meeting any of the following criteria: infection required additional treatment with alternative antibacterial therapy; participant received antibacterial therapy between the End-of-Treatment (EOT) Visit and the PTE Visit that may have been effective for the infection under study for a different infection from the one under study; unplanned major surgical intervention for the infection under study between the EOT and PTE Visits; participant died before evaluation; other specified reason.

Outcome results

Number of Participants With Early Clinical Response

Early clinical response is defined as clinical success, which is categorized as survival with at least a 20% reduction of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) primary lesion size compared to Screening measurements, without receiving any rescue antibacterial therapy. An indeterminate classification is used for a response that could not be adequately inferred because the participant was not assessed because they withdrew consent, were lost to follow-up, or other specified reason.
