Study the Efficacy and Safety of PTK 0796 in Patients With Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infection (CSSSI)

Clinical response is defined as clinical success (CS), which is categorized as a determination by a blinded evaluator (BE) that the infection had sufficiently resolved such that antibiotics were no longer needed, the participant (par.) received ≥1 dose of test article, the par. did not receive non-study antibiotics on >2 calendar days from Day 1 to the Test of Cure assessment, and the par. did not meet any of the criteria for clinical failure. Clinical failure (CF) is categorized as a determination by a BE that the infection had responded inadequately such that alternative antibiotics were needed, the BE discontinued test article due to an adverse event that was possibly/probably related to test article, the primary site of infection was surgically removed, or the par. received potentially effective antibiotics for treatment of the primary infection site on >2 days after study enrollment. A classification of indeterminate is used for any outcome that was not classified as CS or CF.

Microbiological response to treatment was determined using the following classification: (a) microbiologic success: all infecting pathogens isolated at Baseline were eradicated or presumed eradicated at the Test of Cure evaluation and no superinfecting pathogen was isolated from the site of infection under study; (b) microbiological failure: persistence or presumed persistence of one or more infecting pathogens or isolation of a superinfecting pathogen from the site of infection under study.
