Study to Assess Safety, Tolerability and Efficacy of Afabicin in The Treatment of Participants With Bone or Joint Infection Due to Staphylococcus

Study Purpose

This is a randomized, active-controlled, open-label study to assess the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Afabicin in the treatment of participants with bone or joint infection due to Staphylococcus aureus [both methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) and methicillin-resistant S. aureus (MRSA)] and/or coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) and to compare it to standard of care (SOC).

Recruitment Criteria

Accepts Healthy Volunteers Healthy volunteers are participants who do not have a disease or condition, or related conditions or symptoms	No
Study Type An interventional clinical study is where participants are assigned to receive one or more interventions (or no intervention) so that researchers can evaluate the effects of the interventions on biomedical or health-related outcomes. An observational clinical study is where participants identified as belonging to study groups are assessed for biomedical or health outcomes. Searching Both is inclusive of interventional and observational studies.	Interventional
Eligible Ages	18 Years and Over
Gender	All

Trial Details

Trial ID: This trial id was obtained from ClinicalTrials.gov, a service of the U.S. National Institutes of Health, providing information on publicly and privately supported clinical studies of human participants with locations in all 50 States and in 196 countries.	NCT03723551
Phase Phase 1: Studies that emphasize safety and how the drug is metabolized and excreted in humans. Phase 2: Studies that gather preliminary data on effectiveness (whether the drug works in people who have a certain disease or condition) and additional safety data. Phase 3: Studies that gather more information about safety and effectiveness by studying different populations and different dosages and by using the drug in combination with other drugs. Phase 4: Studies occurring after FDA has approved a drug for marketing, efficacy, or optimal use.	Phase 2

Arms & Interventions

Arms

Experimental: Afabicin

In Part A, afabicin will be given intravenous (IV) at a dose 160 milligrams (mg) twice daily (BID) for a minimum of 1 day (2 doses) and up to a maximum of 14 days (2 weeks), followed by a switch to oral Afabicin at a dose of 240 mg BID for the remaining treatment duration. In Part B, participants will be administered with open label afabicin IV at a dose of 55 mg BID for a minimum of 1 day (2 doses) and up to a maximum of 14 days (2 weeks) followed by a switch to oral afabicin at a dose of 80 mg BID for the remaining treatment duration. In certain study conditions a higher dosing regimen of afabicin might be used: afabicin intravenous (IV) at a dose of 80 mg BID for a minimum of 1 day (2 doses) and up to a maximum of 14 days (2 weeks) followed by a switch to oral afabicin at a dose of 120 mg BID for the remaining treatment duration.

Active Comparator: Standard of Care (SOC) (Parts A and B)

Participants will be administered with SOC in accordance with local practice and applicable treatment guidelines without exceeding the maximum dosing schedule.
