Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study of MK-3009 in Japanese Patients With Skin or Blood Stream Infections Caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MK-3009-002) (NCT NCT00770341)

NCT ID: NCT00770341

Last Updated: 2017-03-24

Results Overview

Clinical Success = Study investigator's Clinical Response confirmed by the EAC as either cured or improved at end of treatment (EOT). MITT-MRSA (modified intent-to-treat - methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was a subset of allocated participants with participants who were excluded for any of the following reasons: no MRSA isolated + any 1 of the following: failure to receive ≥1 dose of study drug, lack of all post-allocation primary and secondary endpoint data after ≥1 dose of study drug, no gram (+) coccus isolated at baseline.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 7-14 days for SSTI, 14-42 days for septicemia and right-sided infective endocarditis (RIE)

Population: MITT-MRSA; One participant with possible MRSA RIE was enrolled. This participant was excluded from the efficacy population.

Clinical Success = Study investigator's Clinical Response confirmed by the EAC as either cured or improved at end of treatment (EOT). MITT-MRSA (modified intent-to-treat - methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) was a subset of allocated participants with participants who were excluded for any of the following reasons: no MRSA isolated + any 1 of the following: failure to receive ≥1 dose of study drug, lack of all post-allocation primary and secondary endpoint data after ≥1 dose of study drug, no gram (+) coccus isolated at baseline.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 7-14 days for SSTI, 14-42 days for septicemia and RIE

Population: MITT-MRSA; one participant with possible MRSA RIE was enrolled into this study. This participant was excluded from the efficacy population.

Response = eradicated or presumed eradicated. Eradicated was defined as absence of the admission pathogen in a culture obtained in the absence of potentially effective antibiotics for the pathogen. Presumed eradicated was defined as no material for culture was available due to improvement of infection, but the admission pathogen was presumed to be eradicated because the participant was deemed "Cured" or "Improved" by the investigator and the participant did not receive potentially effective antibiotics for the pathogen.
