Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Adverse Events on Tedizolid Phosphate and Comparator Drugs
Up to 40 days (including 30-day follow-up)

An adverse event (AE) refers to a treatment-emergent adverse event (TE-AE). A TE-AE is any AE that newly appeared, increased in frequency, or worsened in severity following initiation of study drug.

Secondary Endpoints

Number of Participants With Investigator's Assessment Indicating Clinical Success at Test of Cure (TOC) Visit (Intent to Treat Analysis Set)
TOC Visit: 18-25 days after first drug infusion
Number of Participants With Investigator's Assessment Indicating Clinical Success at TOC Visit (Clinically Evaluable-Test of Cure [CE-TOC] Analysis Set)
TOC Visit: 18-25 days after first drug infusion
Number of Participants With Early Clinical Responses Measured by Lesion Reduction
48-72 hr after first drug infusion

Frequently asked questions about Tedizolid Phophate

What is Tedizolid Phosphate used for?

Tedizolid Phosphate is an investigational small molecule being studied for the treatment of skin diseases and infectious conditions, specifically complicated skin and soft tissue infections (cSSTI) and bacterial skin diseases. It is being evaluated in adolescents aged 12 years and older.

Who makes Tedizolid Phosphate?

Tedizolid Phosphate is being developed by Merck & Company, Inc., which trades under the ticker symbol MRK on the New York Stock Exchange. The company is conducting clinical research on this investigational drug for skin infections.

What phase is Tedizolid Phosphate in?

Tedizolid Phosphate is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational drug and has not been approved by regulatory authorities. One Phase 3 trial has been completed, and the drug remains under clinical investigation for its proposed indications.

What clinical trials is Tedizolid Phosphate in?

Tedizolid Phosphate has one completed Phase 3 clinical trial, identified as NCT02276482, titled "Study of Tedizolid Phosphate in Adolescents With Complicated Skin and Soft Tissue Infection (cSSTI) (MK-1986-012)". This trial enrolled 120 participants aged 12 years and older.

How does Tedizolid Phosphate work?

Tedizolid Phosphate is a small molecule antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial protein synthesis. It targets the bacterial ribosome, specifically the 50S subunit, to prevent the growth and spread of bacteria that cause skin and soft tissue infections.
