Outcome Measures
Go to 
Top of Page Study Description Study Design Arms and Interventions Outcome Measures Eligibility Criteria Contacts and Locations More Information

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Clinical response rate at the test-of-cure visit for the 2 co-primary populations: clinically evaluable and clinically modified intent to treat populations [ Time Frame: 15-37 days ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Microbiologic response at the subject level and at the pathogen level measured at intravenous last day of therapy (IV LDOT), test-of-cure (TOC) and follow-up (FUP) visits [ Time Frame: 5-49 days ]
  2. Clinical cure rates by baseline pathogen (including MRSA) at test-of-cure (TOC) visit [ Time Frame: 15-37 days ]
  3. Clinical response and microbiological response at the subject level for subjects with monomicrobial and polymicrobial infections at test-of-cure (TOC) visit [ Time Frame: 15-37 days ]
  4. Development of decreased susceptibility [ Time Frame: 5-50 days ]
  5. Clinical response and microbial response at subject level by baseline pathogen and minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) values at test-of-cure (TOC) visit [ Time Frame: 15-37 days ]
  6. Susceptibility data by pathogen [ Time Frame: 5-50 days ]

Ages Eligible for Study:   8 Years to 17 Years   (Child)
Sexes Eligible for Study:   All
Accepts Healthy Volunteers:   No
Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male or female subjects 8 to 17 years old. Children with bone maturation less than 8 years old should be enrolled with caution due to potential risk of tooth discoloration.
  • Have a diagnosis of a serious infection requiring hospitalization and administration of IV antibiotic therapy.
  • complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) requiring significant surgical intervention or involving deeper soft tissue with the presence of at least one sign of systemic infection

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Subject with any concomitant illness/condition that, in the investigator's judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject's participation in and/or completion of the study, or could preclude the evaluation of the subject's response (e.g., life expectancy < 30 days).
