NCT ID: NCT01445678

Last Updated: 2018-11-16

Results Overview

Clinical cure is complete resolution or significant improvement in signs and symptoms of the index infection, such that no additional antibacterial therapy or surgical or drainage procedure was required for the index infection.

Participant Flow

Two identical P3 protocols were initiated (NCT01445678 and NCT01445665) subsequently, Cubist and FDA agreed that integrated data from the 2 protocols could be analyzed and reported in a single Clinical Study Report. A total of 993 subjects were randomized to both arms, 493 to NCT5678 and 500 to NCT5665. Of these, 485 and 494 received treatment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: TOC; 26-30 days after start of study drug administration

Population: MITT: Randomized patients, with baseline pathogen.

Clinical cure is complete resolution or significant improvement in signs and symptoms of the index infection, such that no additional antibacterial therapy or surgical or drainage procedure was required for the index infection.

Success is eradication (absence of the baseline pathogen in a specimen appropriately obtained from the original site of infection) or presumed eradication (absence of material to culture in a subject who was assessed as a clinical cure) for each baseline pathogen
