Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tedizolid phosphate (MK-1986) compared with comparator antibacterial agent in participants from birth to less than 12 years of age with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI).


Clinical Trial Description

Participants will be randomized (3:1) to receive tedizolid phosphate at a weight-based dose ≤200 mg/day, intravenous (IV) and/or oral suspension for 6 to 10 days, or comparator IV and/or oral per local standard of care for 10 to 14 days. The switch from IV to oral administration can be made at any time based on 1) no worsening of the primary skin lesion, 2) last temperature <37.7 °C, and 3) primary acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) site has not worsened and at least 1 site has improved from Baseline. The potential 4-day treatment extension will be based on clinical need as judged by the investigator, considering the following criteria: 1) ≥40% reduction in primary lesion size, 2) reduction in pain, and 3) no new signs and symptoms and no complications attributable to ABSSSI compared with Baseline. ;
