E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Primary efficacy endpoint:
Proportion of subjects with a favorable microbiological response in the ME Population at TOC. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The timing of the primary endpoint is TOC which occurs 5-11 days after the end of therapy. The study requires 7-10 days study drug administration. Therefore the timing of the primary endpoint is about 12-21 days after enrollment in the study. Note TOC could occur earlier if study drug is discontinued early.
|
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Proportion of subjects with a clinical response of cure in the CE Population at TOC
• Proportion of subjects with a favorable microbiological response in the mITT Population at TOC
• Proportion of subjects with a clinical response of cure in the mITT Population at TOC
• Proportion of subjects with a sustained favorable microbiological response in the ME Population at
LFU
• Proportion of subjects with a clinical response of sustained clinical cure in the CE Population at LFU
• Proportion of subjects with a favorable microbiological response in the ME Population at TOC and the
proportion of subjects with a clinical response of cure in the CE Population at TOC in subjects with
cLUTI or AP
• Per-pathogen outcome in the mITT and ME Populations at TOC
• Proportion of subjects with a favorable microbiological response in the ME Population at EOT
• Proportion of subjects with a clinical response of cure in the CE Population at EOT
• Incidence of emergent infections |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
Secondary endpoints may occur at:
End of Therapy (EOT) which occurs at the end of study drug administration and is 7-10 days after enrollment. Note, EOT could occur earlier if study drug is discontinued early.
Test-of-cure (TOC) which is defined at E.5.1.1.
Late Follow-up (LFU) which is 28-42 days after EOT therefore making this window 35-52 days after enrollment. Note LFU could occur earlier if study drug is discontinued early and EOT occurs earlier than 7-10 days after enrollment.
