Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With a Favorable Clinical Response at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit in the Microbiological Intent-to-treat (Micro-ITT) Population
TOC visit: 25-31 days after first dose of study drug

Clinical cure was defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of signs and symptoms of the index infection such that no additional antibacterial therapy, surgical, or radiological intervention was required. Clinical failure was defined as death related to complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI), persistence of clinical symptoms of cIAI, unplanned surgical or percutaneous drainage procedures for complication or recurrence of cIAI, post-surgical wound infections requiring systemic antibiotics, or initiation of rescue antibacterial drug therapy for treatment of cIAI. Indeterminate/missing was defined as an outcome that was neither a clinical cure nor clinical failure, if the investigator did not complete an assessment, if a study visit was not conducted, or if the subject died for a cause unrelated to cIAI.

Clinical Response of Eravacycline and Ertapenem Treatment Arms at the Test-of-cure (TOC) Visit in the Microbiological Intent-to-treat (Micro-ITT) Population
TOC visit: 25-31 days after the first dose of study drug

Clinical response was classified as cure (complete resolution or significant improvement of signs and symptoms of the index infection), failure (death related to complicated intra-abdominal infection \[cIAI\], unplanned surgical procedures or percutaneous drainage procedures, persisting or recurrent infection within the abdomen, postsurgical wound infection, or administration of effective concomitant antibacterial therapy), or indeterminate (outcome was neither cure nor failure, or assessment was not available). Participants who were failures at the End-of-Treatment (EOT) visit (within 24 hours of last dose) were considered failures at the TOC visit. The number of participants with a clinical response classification of cure, failure, or indeterminate is presented.

Proportion of Participants in the Micro-ITT Population Demonstrating Clinical Cure and Microbiologic Success at the EOI Visit
End of Infusion

This was the co-primary outcome measure for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary objective was to demonstrate the non-inferiority (NI) of eravacycline to ertapenem in responder outcome, which was derived from both clinical and microbiological responses, in the micro-ITT population. Clinical responses were either cure, failure, or indeterminate/missing; microbiological responses were characterized programmatically as either success, failure, or indeterminate/missing. Clinical cure was defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of signs or symptoms of the infection; microbiological success was a reduction of the baseline pathogen(s) to \<10\^4 colony-forming units/milliliter (CFU/mL). An outcome of Responder required a clinical response of cure and a microbiological response of success. Any other combination of the clinical and microbiological responses was considered either Non-responder or Indeterminate.

This was the co-primary outcome measure for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary objective was to demonstrate the non-inferiority (NI) of eravacycline to ertapenem in responder outcome, which was derived from both clinical and microbiological responses, in the micro-ITT population. Clinical responses were either cure, failure, or indeterminate/missing; microbiological responses were characterized programmatically as either success, failure, or indeterminate/missing. Clinical cure was defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of signs or symptoms of the infection; microbiological success was a reduction of the baseline pathogen(s) to \<10\^4 colony-forming units/milliliter (CFU/mL). An outcome of responder required a clinical response of cure and a microbiological response of success. Any other combination of the clinical and microbiological responses was considered either Non-responder or Indeterminate.

PT Visit

This was the primary outcome measure for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The primary objective was to demonstrate the non-inferiority (NI) of eravacycline to levofloxacin in responder outcome, which was derived from both clinical and microbiological responses, in the micro-ITT population. Clinical responses were either cure, failure, or indeterminate/missing; microbiological responses were characterized programmatically as either success, failure, or indeterminate/missing. Clinical cure was defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of signs or symptoms of the infection; microbiological success was a reduction of the baseline pathogen(s) to \<10\^4 colony-forming units/milliliter (CFU/mL). An outcome of Responder required a clinical response of cure and a microbiological response of success. Any other combination of the clinical and microbiological responses was considered either Non-responder or Indeterminate.
