Shift From Baseline in Distortion Product Otoacoustic Emission at TOC Visit
Audiologic testing was to be conducted in at least 20 children \< 12 years old, of which at least 9 children were \< 2 years old. Audiologic testing conducted on infants (\< 12 months old) included: evoked otoacoustic emissions testing, acoustic immittance measures (tympanometry and contra and ipsilateral acoustic reflex thresholds) and (optional) threshold auditory brainstem responses. For the older children, testing included evoked otoacoustic emissions testing, acoustic immittance measures (tympanometry and contra ipsilateral acoustic reflex thresholds), and age appropriate behavioral audiologic threshold assessment. Participants with an abnormal audiologic assessment at Day 28 (± 2 days) that exceeded, by a clinically significant margin, any abnormality observed in the Baseline assessment, were considered to have an abnormal audiologic assessment.

Time frame: Baseline, Day 28 (± 2 days)
Clinical Response at 48-72 Hours
Clinical response defined as ≥20% reduction in lesion size compared to Baseline in Cohorts 1-4; cessation of increase in lesion size and decreased erythema or tenderness compared to Baseline with no appearance of new lesions in those with ABSSSI in Cohort 5; and improvement of at least one abnormal clinical and laboratory parameter related to sepsis in those diagnosed with sepsis in Cohort 5. To be considered a clinical responder, participants must have been alive and not have received rescue therapy. Presented for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population: all participants who received at least one dose of study drug and had a diagnosis of ABSSSI (or a suspected or confirmed sepsis for those in Cohort 5) not known to be caused exclusively by a Gram-negative organism.
Time frame: Baseline, 48-72 hours
Clinical Response at the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit (Investigator Assessment of Clinical Outcome)
Cure: Resolution of clinical signs and symptoms of infection (CSSI) compared to Baseline. No additional antibacterial Tx required for disease under study. Improvement: For Cohorts 1-4 and Cohort 5 with ABSSSI, reduction in severity of ≥2, but not all CSSI, when compared with Baseline. For Cohort 5 with sepsis, reduction in severity of ≥1 abnormal clinical and laboratory parameter related to sepsis, when compared with Baseline. For Cohorts 1-4, no additional antibacterial Tx required for disease under study. For Cohort 5, no rescue antibiotics required after ≥48 hours of start of study Tx. Failure: Persistence or progression of Baseline CSSI after 48 hours of Tx OR development of new findings consistent with active infection. Unknown: Extenuating circumstances precluding classification to Cure, Improvement, or Failure. Presented for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population.
Time frame: Baseline, Day 14 (± 2 Days)
Clinical Response at the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit (Clinical Response by Sponsor)
Definitions used for the Sponsor assessment were the same as those used for the Investigator assessment. The occurrence of any of the following conditions resulted in reassignment by the Sponsor to clinical failure: 1) assessment of clinical failure at a previous time point, 2) Cohorts 1-4: receipt of concomitant antibiotic with activity against participant's isolate of disease under study prior to evaluation time point; Cohort 5: receipt of rescue therapy (additional antibiotic therapy initiated ≥48 hrs after study drug start), 3) unplanned surgical procedure (e.g., incision and drainage of abscess, major debridement, amputation) for non-improving or worsening infection after 72 hrs of study drug treatment. Presented for the modified intent-to-treat (mITT) population: all participants who received ≥1 dose of study drug and had a diagnosis of ABSSSI (or a suspected or confirmed sepsis for those in Cohort 5) not known to be caused exclusively by a Gram-negative organism.
