What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Cessation of spread or reduction in the size of the primary infection site lesion

    Measured: 48-72 hours

  2. Defervescence

    Measured: 48 - 72 hours

Secondary outcomes (7)
  1. Severity of signs and symptoms of the primary infection site lesion

    Measured: up to day 84-98 (late follow-up visit)

  2. Clinical response rate - overall and for MRSA

    Measured: Day 10 (TOC visit), Day 15-21 (SFU/EOT visit)

  3. Microbiological response rate - overall and for MRSA

    Measured: Day 15-21 (SFU/EOT visit)

  4. Change in susceptibility testing of S. aureus

    Changes in susceptibility testing of S. aureus isolates from the original infection site to linezolid and JNJ-32729463

    Measured: Day 15-21 (SFU/EOT visit)

  5. Rate of recurrence and new infection in subjects with MRSA

    Measured: Day 35-49 and Day 84-98

  6. Defervescence

    Measured: Day 4 (Visit 3)

  7. Cessation of spread or reduction in the size of the primary infection site lesion

    Measured: Day 4 (Visit 3)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing JNJ-32729463 and linezolid in people with Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections, run by Furiex Pharmaceuticals, Inc at 27 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 4 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 16 Dec 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 27 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cessation of spread or reduction in the size of the primary infection site lesion (time frame: 48-72 hours). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 16 Dec 2011.
