SYNOPSIS 
Study Number: 
ICL-24-ABSSSI2 
Title of Study: 
A Phase 3, randomized, double-blind, multicenter study to evaluate the safety 
and efficacy of intravenous iclaprim versus vancomycin in the treatment of 
acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections suspected or confirmed to be 
due to Gram-positive pathogens. (REVIVE-2) 
Indication: 
Acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) suspected or 
confirmed to be due to Gram-positive pathogens. 
Number of 
Investigators and 
Study Centers: 
Approximately 80 study centers in the United States, the EU, and other 
countries around the world. 
Development Phase: 
3 
Objectives: 
Primary Objective: 
The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate that iclaprim is 
non-inferior to vancomycin in achieving a ≥20% reduction in lesion size at 48 
to 72 hours (Early Time Point [ETP]) compared to baseline in all randomized 
patients (ITT). 
 
Secondary Objectives: 
The secondary objectives of this study are to demonstrate non-inferiority of 
iclaprim compared to vancomycin in the ITT, mITT, mCE, PP, and mPP 
populations for the following: 
1. Resolution or near resolution of ABSSSI (clinical cure, defined by a 
≥90% reduction in lesion size from the size at baseline, no increase in 
lesion size since ETP, and no requirement for additional antibiotics 
[except aztreonam and metronidazole] or unplanned significant 
surgical procedures after ETP other than bedside wound care) at Test 
of Cure (TOC) visit (7 to14 days after the end of treatment); 
2. Resolution or near resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at End of Therapy 
(EOT); 
3. Resolution or near resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at EOT and TOC 
among patients with severe infection at baseline defined by meeting 
one or more of the following criteria: 
a. 
fulfilled the published definition for systemic inflammatory 
response syndrome (SIRS) by having ≥2 of the following 
findings: body temperature >38°C or <36°C,  heart rate >90 
bpm,    respiration rate >20 breaths/minute, and    WBC 
>12000/mm3 or <4000/mm3 or >10% bands; 
b. Evaluated as having severe tenderness or severe erythema at 
the infection site; and 
c. 
Positive blood cultures at baseline. 
4. Time to resolution of systemic and local signs and symptoms of 
ABSSSI. 
Additional secondary objectives are to: 
5. Assess microbiological outcome in the mITT, mCE, and mPP 
populations at EOT and TOC; 
6. Establish 
the 
PK 
profile 
for 
iclaprim 
using 
population 
pharmacokinetics; and 
7. Establish the safety profile of iclaprim in patients with ABSSSI. 
Study Population: 
Patients ≥18 years of age of either gender with ABSSSIs suspected or 
confirmed to be due to Gram-positive pathogens. 
Methodology/ 
Study Design: 
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study of the efficacy and safety 
of iclaprim compared to vancomycin. Patients will receive either iclaprim or 
vancomycin for 5 to 14 days. Patients will be evaluated daily up to ETP, then

every 48 to 72 hours through the end of treatment. If the last dose of study drug 
falls on a day when an evaluation was not planned, an additional evaluation visit 
will need to be performed on that day (ie. All EOT evaluations should be 
performed on the last day [+2 days] of drug dose). Patients will also be 
evaluated at the TOC visit (7 to 14 days post-EOT), and will have a Late 
Follow-Up (LFU) phone call (28 to 32 days post-first dose). 
 
After completing screening procedures, including obtaining cultures from a 
clinical specimen prior to antibacterial therapy, a total of 600 patients (300 per 
treatment group) will be randomized (1:1) to receive either: (1) iclaprim 80 mg 
every 12 hours or (2) weight-based vancomycin. The duration of treatment for 
both groups will be 5 days (minimum duration) to 14 days (maximum duration). 
 
The investigators, clinical study personnel, sponsor, and the patients will remain 
blinded with respect to the study drug treatment allocation. The unblinded 
pharmacist or his/her designee will be responsible for preparation of infusions. 
Normal saline dummy infusions will be used to maintain the blind where 
vancomycin is dosed at a different interval than q12h .   
 
For patients in whom Gram staining of culturable material or cultures indicates 
that Gram-negative coverage is required, and for patients in whom anaerobic 
pathogens are suspected or confirmed as pathogens at the infected site, 
aztreonam and metronidazole may be administered, respectively. Concomitant 
antibiotics aztreonam and metronidazole will be used in compliance with their 
respective prescribing information at the discretion of the investigator during 
the study treatment phase. 
 
Systemic antibiotics (other than aztreonam and metronidazole) or topical 
antibiotics at the site of the ABSSSI under investigation, steroids >20 mg/day 
prednisolone or equivalent; and Type I A and Type III-antiarrhythmic drugs are 
prohibited. 
 
Clinical Assessments: 
 
The primary endpoint for clinical response (defined as the reduction in lesion 
size ≥20% compared to baseline) will be evaluated in all randomized patients at 
ETP (48 to 72 hours post-first dose). Patients who have died or who received 
rescue antibacterial therapy prior to that time will be included as treatment 
failures. In addition, clinical outcome will be evaluated by the investigator at 
EOT and TOC (7 to 14 days post EOT). The assessments of clinical outcome 
will be categorized as cure, failure, or indeterminate. 
 
Microbiological Assessments: 
 
An adequate clinical specimen for microbiologic evaluation will be obtained at 
baseline prior to randomization. Additional clinical specimens will be obtained, 
if clinically feasible and if the patient has persistent clinical signs or symptoms, 
at ETP, EOT and TOC. If the patient is discontinued from the study due to 
treatment failure, a clinical specimen will be obtained at that time. Specimens 
will be evaluated by the local microbiology laboratory; in addition, isolates will 
be subcultured and sent to a central microbiology laboratory for confirmation of 
pathogen identity and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs). 
 
Two sets of blood samples for aerobic/anaerobic cultures 10 minutes apart from 
different sites peripherally will be obtained within 24 hours prior to the first 
dose of study drug. Blood cultures from intravascular devices are not permitted.

Any potential pathogen will be subcultured and the isolates shipped to the 
central laboratory. Anti-streptolysin O titers will also be taken within 24 hours 
of the start of treatment. 
 
Microbiological response will be assessed at the patient level and at the 
microbiological level on the basis of results of the cultures, the susceptibilities 
of identified organisms, and the clinical outcome of the patient. Microbiological 
response by patient will be determined at ETP, EOT, and TOC visits and 
categorized as eradication, presumed eradication, persistence, presumed 
persistence, indeterminate, superinfection, or recurrent infection in patients with 
a Gram-positive pathogen isolated at baseline. 
 
Pharmacokinetic Assessments: 
 
Pharmacokinetic samples will be obtained from patients on 3 occasions, 
following the first dose of study medication, at ETP, and at EOT. After the 
study is complete, the database locked, and the data unblinded, patients 
randomized to iclaprim will have their samples assayed. 
 
Safety and tolerability assessments: 
 
All patients who receive any study drug will be evaluated for safety on the basis 
of medical history and physical examinations, reports of clinical AEs, routine 
electrocardiography, and clinically significant findings from routine liver 
function tests, serum chemistry, hematology, coagulation, and urinalysis (UA) 
tests. All adverse events will be recorded throughout the study period, up to and 
including the LFU phone call. While blinded to treatment assignment, the 
investigator will categorize the severity of each AE and the potential for 
relationship to study drug. Serious AEs (SAEs) include those that were life 
threatening, led to prolongation of the existing hospitalization, a congenital 
anomaly/birth defect, or caused persistent or significant disability, incapacity, or 
death. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) will be defined as those that start or 
worsen in severity during or after the first dose of study drug administration 
through end of study. 
Number of Patients 
(planned and 
analyzed): 
A total of 600 patients (approximately 300 per treatment group) will be 
randomized (1:1) for this study. 
 
Using Farrington and Manning’s method for non-inferiority (NI) testing with a 
1 sided alpha of 0.025, assuming a 75% early clinical response rate in each 
group and a 10% non-inferiority bound delta, a sample size of 295 ITT patients 
per treatment group is required for 80% power. In addition, using similar 
methods of NI testing with a 1-sided alpha of 0.025, assuming a 90% early 
clinical response rate at TOC in each group and a 10% NI bound delta, a sample 
size of 300 patients in the ITT population per treatment group is required for 
82% power. If the initial endpoint of clinical response at ETP does not achieve 
statistical significance, no further statistical testing will be done. 
Diagnosis and Main 
Criteria for 
Inclusion: 
The following are the main inclusion criteria: written informed consent; 
≥18 years of age; a bacterial infection of the skin with a lesion size area of at 
least 75 cm2 with major cutaneous abscess, cellulitis/erysipelas, and/or wound 
infections (caused by external trauma [eg, needle sticks or insect bites]); and the 
presence of purulent or seropurulent drainage before or after surgical 
intervention of a wound or at least 3 of the following signs and symptoms: 
discharge, erythema (extending at least 2 cm beyond a wound edge in one 
direction), swelling and/or induration, heat and/or localized warmth, and/or pain 
and/or tenderness to palpation.

Exclusion Criteria: 
The following are the main exclusion criteria: ABSSSI of the following 
categories: severely impaired arterial blood supply such that amputation of the 
infected anatomical site is likely, infected diabetic foot ulcers, infected 
decubitus ulcers, infected human or animal bites, necrotizing fasciitis or 
gangrene, uncomplicated skin or skin structure infection, self-limiting 
infections, skin and/or skin structure infection that can be treated by surgery 
alone, infections associated with a prosthetic device, and suspected or 
confirmed osteomyelitis; known or suspected concurrent infection or conditions 
requiring systemic anti-microbial treatment, prophylaxis, or suppression 
therapy; received more than one dose of a short-acting (i.e., q12h dosing or less) 
systemic antibiotic(s) active against Gram-positive pathogens within the last 7 
days, unless there is documented evidence of treatment failure OR demonstrated 
resistance of Gram-positive pathogens to the prior antibiotic therapy. 
Study Medications: 
Iclaprim will be administered at a dose of 80 mg in 500 mL normal saline, 
infused over 2 hours q12h (every 12 hours) for 5 to 14 days. For subjects with 
moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B), iclaprim will be 
administered at a dose of 40 mg in 500 mL normal saline, infused over 2 hours 
q12h for 5 to 14 days. 
 
Vancomycin will be dosed as follows: 15 mg/kg body weight in 500 mL normal 
saline infused over 2 hours for 5 to 14 days. Dosing interval will be every q12h, 
q24h, q48h, or dosed by daily level based on creatinine clearance. Patients 
randomized to vancomycin who require dosing intervals of q24h, q48h, or 
dosed by daily level due to renal impairment will receive dummy infusions 
(normal saline) at 12 hour intervals when they are not to receive vancomycin. 
 
It is strongly recommended that vancomycin dosing be adjusted based on trough 
levels to maintain a trough of either 10 to 15 mg/L for patients with an organism 
whose MIC is ≤1 mg/L or 15 to 20 mg/L for patients with an organism whose 
MIC is >1 mg/L. If dose adjustments made due to trough monitoring are 
implemented, they should be performed in such a manner as to ensure that the 
blind is maintained. Normal saline dummy infusions will be used to maintain 
the blind for patients randomized to vancomycin who have a dosing frequency 
other than Q12h.  In the event that trough level monitoring is not available 
locally, sites may alternatively monitor creatinine clearance (CrCL) and adjust 
vancomycin dosing based on changes to CrCL. 
Dose and Regimen: 
Iclaprim is a dihydrofolate reductase inhibitor being studied for the treatment of 
ABSSSI. The dosing regimen of iclaprim is 80 mg q12h via an intravenous 
administration. Each dose will be infused over 2 hours, and the duration of 
treatment will be 5 days (minimum duration) to 14 days (maximum duration). 
Duration of 
Treatment: 
The total duration of treatment in the study for each patient is 5 to 14 days. 
Duration of Patient 
Participation in 
Study: 
The total duration of participation in the study for each patient is 29 to 33 days.

the Gram-negative pathogen. 
 
PP microbiologically evaluable population (mPP) — mITT patients who receive 
at least 80% of their planned doses and provide adequate data for assessment for 
each of the following timepoints: ETP, EOT, and TOC. 
 
Safety population — All patients who receive any study drug during the trial 
(primary population for safety analyses). Patients will be analyzed according to 
the treatment they received. 
Evaluation: Efficacy  The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of randomized patients who 
achieve an early clinical response (defined as reduction in the lesion size ≥20% 
compared to baseline) at 48 to 72 hours (ETP) and will be evaluated among all 
randomized patients (ITT population). The primary efficacy analysis will be the 
non-inferiority (NI) of iclaprim (group 1) to vancomycin (group 2) for the 
proportion of patients with a ≥20% reduction in lesion size at ETP compared to 
baseline. 
 
The primary NI efficacy analysis will be repeated in the mITT, mCE, the PP, 
and the mPP populations as secondary outcomes. 
The secondary endpoints are: 
1. Resolution or near resolution of ABSSSI (ie, clinical cure, defined by a 
>90% reduction in lesion size from the size at baseline, no increase in 
lesion size since ETP, and no requirement for additional antibiotics 
[except aztreonam and metronidazole] or unplanned significant 
surgical procedures after ETP other than bedside wound care) at TOC 
for iclaprim (80 mg q12h) compared with vancomycin (weight-based 
dose) for ITT, mITT, mCE, PP, and mPP populations 
2. Resolution or near resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at EOT for ITT, 
mITT, mCE, PP, and mPP populations 
3. Resolution or near resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at EOT and TOC 
among patients with severe infection at baseline for ITT, mITT, mCE, 
PP, and mPP populations 
4. Time to resolution of signs and symptoms of ABSSSI from start of

5. Patient-level bacteriological response rate at EOT and TOC for mITT, 
mCE, and mPP populations 
6. Pathogen-level bacteriological response rate at EOT and TOC for 
mITT, mCE, and mPP populations 
Evaluation: Safety 
Treatment emergent AEs, SAEs, hematology, clinical chemistry, UAs, vital 
signs, physical examinations, electrocardiograms (ECGs), and liver function 
tests will be evaluated. 
Evaluation: 
Pharmacokinetics 
Iclaprim plasma concentrations will be used to determine population PK 
parameters, including Cmax, AUC to infinity (AUC0-∞), clearance, and volume of 
distribution. Interindividual variability (IIV) will be determined for PK 
parameters, as well as residual variability. The potential influence of clinical 
characteristics (age, size, sex, hepatic function, renal function, concomitant 
medications, etc.) on PK parameters will be evaluated. Further details will be 
detailed in a separate population PK analysis plan. 
Statistical Methods: 
In general, statistical tests will be two-sided, and at the level of significance 
alpha = 0.05. The non-inferiority assessment will be made with a one-sided test 
at significance level of 0.025. Confidence intervals (CIs) will be calculated at a 
95% confidence level. 
 
Continuous data will be summarized by treatment group using the number of 
patients in the analysis population (N), mean, standard deviation (SD), median, 
and range, and categorical data will be summarized by treatment group using N 
and percentage. 
 
Primary Efficacy Analysis: 
 
The primary efficacy analysis will be the NI (at significance level 0.025) of 
iclaprim (group 1) to vancomycin (group 2) for the proportion of ITT patients 
with a ≥20% reduction in lesion size at ETP compared to baseline. The NI 
bound will be 10%. Let P1 be the proportion for iclaprim and P2 be the 
proportion for vancomycin. Equivalently, if the lower bound of the two-sided 
95% CI for P1 – P2 is greater than -0.100 based on the Z test with unpooled 
variance estimate, NI will be concluded. 
 
Secondary Efficacy Analyses: 
 
The primary NI efficacy analysis will be repeated in the mITT, mCE, the PP, 
and the mPP populations. The secondary endpoints are resolution or near 
resolution of ABSSSI (ie, clinical cure) at TOC for iclaprim (80 mg q12h) 
compared with vancomycin (weight-based dose), resolution or near resolution 
(≥90%) of ABSSSI at EOT, resolution or near resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at 
EOT and TOC among patients with severe infection at baseline, time to 
resolution of signs and symptoms of ABSSSI, by-patient bacteriological 
response rate at EOT and TOC, and by-pathogen bacteriological response rate at 
EOT and TOC. 
 
Safety Analyses: 
 
All patients who received any amount of iclaprim or vancomycin during the 
trial will be evaluated for safety. Safety evaluation include incidence of TEAEs, 
laboratory test results (including liver function tests), vital signs, ECG results, 
and physical examination findings. All summaries of safety data will be based

on the safety population (all treated patients). No formal statistical analysis of 
the safety data will be performed. 
Summary tables will be provided for all AEs by treatment group. The incidence 
of AEs, related AEs, SAEs, and AEs leading to discontinuation of the study

system organ class (SOC) and preferred term. In addition, the incidence of AEs 
by severity will be presented by SOC and preferred term.  
The AE summary tables will include patient counts. Therefore, if a patient 
experiences more than one episode of a particular AE, the patient will be 
counted only once for that event. If a patient has more than one AE that is coded 
to the same preferred term, the patient will be counted only once for that 
preferred term. Similarly, if a patient has more than one AE within a SOC, the 
patient will be counted only once in that SOC. 
Laboratory test variables will be summarized by treatment group and visit using 
descriptive statistics (number of patients, mean, SD, minimum, maximum, as 
well as mean change from baseline, SD for mean and standard error for mean 
change, minimum, median, maximum, and number and percent of patients 
within specified categories). Shift tables (ie, cross-tabulations of below the 
lower limit of the normal range, within the limits of the normal range and above 
the upper limit of the normal range at baseline versus scheduled visits) will be 
presented by laboratory test. Laboratory tests with categorical results that 
cannot be analyzed by change from baseline or shift table analysis will not be 
included in these summaries, but will be listed. Data obtained from laboratory 
tests not required by the protocol will not be summarized, but will be listed.  
Descriptive statistics of vital signs and ECG results at each visit will be 
presented by treatment group. Physical examination findings will be listed for 
each patient.

INTRODUCTION 
5.1 
Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections 
Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSIs) are predominantly caused by the following 
Gram-positive pathogens: Staphylococcus aureus, including methicillin-resistant staphylococci (MRSA), 
beta hemolytic streptococci (most commonly S. pyogenes and S. agalactiae), enterococcus spp., and 
viridans group streptococci. 
Due to the rapid emergence of hospital- and community-acquired strains of resistant bacteria, there is an 
urgent need to identify and develop compounds that are active against drug-resistant and emerging 
pathogens, such as MRSA, which are associated with increased rates of morbidity and mortality and, 
therefore, with significantly increased pharmacoeconomic costs. 
5.2 
Properties of Iclaprim 
Iclaprim (MTF-100) is a potent and selective inhibitor of dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) of important 
bacterial pathogens, including antibiotic-resistant strains. Iclaprim inhibits human DHFR minimally, 
resulting in a selectivity index of more than 4 orders of magnitude. These results, together with more than 
2 decades of clinical experience with trimethoprim (a related diaminopyrimidine), provide the proof of 
concept that selective DHFR inhibitors are safe and efficacious. 
A major advantage of iclaprim over many existing antibiotics is its potent bactericidal activity against a 
broad spectrum of Gram-positive bacteria, including MRSA, vancomycin-intermediate S. aureus, 
vancomycin-resistant enterococci (VRE), and quinolone-resistant strains. Moreover, iclaprim exhibits 
potent activity against most trimethoprim-resistant strains. Iclaprim is active against the majority of the 
Gram-positive pathogens in ABSSSI. 
Further details about iclaprim can be found in the Investigator's Brochure. 
5.3 
Overview of Nonclinical and Clinical Studies 
5.3.1 
Nonclinical studies 
Iclaprim is rapidly bactericidal against Gram-positive clinical isolates and displays a significant 
postantibiotic effect. Based on in vitro data, the propensity for resistance development is predicted to be 
low. Iclaprim was active against pathogens susceptible and resistant to standard antibiotics when 
administered by either intravenous (IV) or oral (p.o.) routes in in vivo rodent infection models. 
In a 4-week toxicity study in male and female rats, single daily IV bolus doses up to 60 mg/kg were given. 
Little evidence of systemic toxicity was observed, even at the highest dose tested (60 mg/kg/day). 
However, poor local injection site tolerability precluded the determination of a no observed adverse effect 
level (NOAEL). However, the Non-Toxic-Effect level was at least 30 mg/kg/day. In a 4-week toxicity 
study in male and female marmosets, single daily infusions up to 30 mg/kg over 20 minutes were well 
tolerated, with the exception of a slight irritation response at the injection site. Therefore, the NOAEL was 
considered to be 30 mg/kg/day. 
In safety pharmacology studies with IV bolus doses up to 30 mg/kg in rats, no behavioral changes or effects 
on spontaneous locomotor activity were observed. Telemetric monitoring of cardiovascular effects in the 
conscious dog with single IV bolus doses up to 10 mg/kg showed no signs of any gross electrocardiogram 
(ECG) waveform abnormality or rhythm disturbance. Iclaprim reversibly inhibited the human 
ether-a-go-go related gene mediated potassium current in transfected Chinese hamster ovary cells with an 
inhibitory concentration at 50% (IC50) of 0.9 µM. Iclaprim did not significantly inhibit the sodium and 
calcium channels, with an IC50 of 95 µM and 46 µM, respectively. Iclaprim was not mutagenic in the 
Ames test and showed no mutagenic or clastogenic activity in the mouse lymphoma, rat micronucleus, or

5.3.2 
Phase 1 Clinical studies 
Iclaprim has been administered in single-dose studies up to 3.2 mg/kg and in repeated escalating IV dose 
studies up to 1.6 mg/kg. 
Following IV administration, iclaprim rapidly and extensively distributes into tissues and shows a terminal 
elimination half-life of about 3 hours. Pharmacokinetic (PK) properties are independent of the dose; 
maximum concentration (Cmax) and area under the concentration-time curve (AUC) increased 
proportionately with the dose. Iclaprim is excreted, mainly in the urine, as conjugated metabolites. 
In a single-dose ECG-study with 1.6 mg/kg and 3.2 mg/kg infused over 30 minutes, iclaprim prolonged the 
QTc interval (QT interval corrected for heart rate) in a dose-dependent manner. Maximal increases 
coincided with Cmax levels and were rapidly reversible. Dosing with 1.6 mg/kg was assessed as acceptable 
for clinical purposes, whereas dosing at 3.2 mg/kg was associated with relevant QTc prolongations 
(>60 msec) and nonspecific T-wave alterations. 
In a second single-dose ECG study using doses of 0.4 mg/kg and 0.8 mg/kg iclaprim base infused over 
30 minutes and 1.6 mg/kg infused over 60 minutes, evaluation of the QTc interval showed a reversible 
dose-dependent effect of iclaprim on the duration of the QTc interval at 0.8 mg/kg and 1.6 mg/kg. 
Importantly, at both the 0.8-mg/kg and 1.6-mg/kg doses, no subject had a maximal QTc value >500 msec. 
When QTc was corrected according to Fridericia (QTcF), no subject exhibited any postinfusion QTcF 
prolongation of >60 msec from Baseline (BL). In addition, in both of the ECG studies, no gender 
differences concerning QTc prolongations were observed, nor were any cardiovascular adverse events 
(AEs) reported. 
A transient Cmax-related mean increase in QTc corrected according to Bazett (QTcB) of approximately 
10 msec was observed after infusion of 0.8 mg/kg iclaprim over 30 minutes. This transient QTc 
prolongation is similar to or less than QTc prolongations observed with other antibiotics, eg, 51 msec for 
IV erythromycin [1], 3 to 11 msec for clarithromycin [2,3,4]; moxifloxacin showed QTc prolongations of 9 
to 17 msec in several studies submitted in their New Drug Application [5]. 
Iclaprim was safe and well tolerated; no treatment-related severe AEs were observed in any of the subjects 
exposed to iclaprim in Phase 1 studies. Safety and tolerability were acceptable at the highest doses tested, 
3.2 mg/kg as a single dose and multiple doses of 1.6 mg/kg twice daily (b.i.d.) for 10 days.

In a Phase 2 clinical study of patients with complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI), patients 
were randomized to receive either iclaprim base at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg or 1.6 mg/kg infused over 
30 minutes every 12 hours or vancomycin 1 g every 12 hours. Clinical cure rates in all groups were >90% 
at Day 10 and at the Test of Cure (TOC) visit. 
Drug-related AE rates were 0%, 6%, and 10%, for the 0.8 mg/kg, 1.6 mg/kg, and vancomycin 1 g 
regimens, respectively. Both doses of iclaprim were well tolerated. No treatment-related serious adverse 
events (SAEs) were observed. In 48 patients who had ECGs performed during the study medication 
administration period, central evaluation of these data revealed an increase in QTcB interval >60 msec 
immediately following study medication infusion in 2 patients (1 patient in each of the iclaprim 1.6 mg/kg 
and vancomycin groups), but the corresponding QTcF increases were below 60 msec. No QTc interval 
recorded immediately following completion of the infusion exceeded 480 msec. Furthermore, no 
treatment-emergent cardiac rhythm disturbances were observed.

The CI presented in this table were calculated using SAS-generated 95% CI. The ASSIST-1 analysis used the Newcombe-Altman 
formula 
 
For the pivotal Phase 3 studies, ASSIST-1 and ASSIST-2, in the combined data set, the incidence of 
possibly or probably treatment-related AEs was 22.6% for the iclaprim treatment group, compared to 
27.9% for the linezolid group. No treatment-related SAEs were observed in ASSIST-1; 1 SAE in 
ASSIST-2 was considered to be possibly treatment related (elevated alanine aminotransferase [ALT] in one 
iclaprim-treated patient). In general, iclaprim was safe and well tolerated with a similar AE profile to the 
comparator drug linezolid. 
With respect to cardiac effects, results from the combined Phase 3 clinical studies indicated that the 
incidence of QTc prolongations of concern (QTcF >60 ms) in the iclaprim treatment arms were similar to 
those observed in the linezolid treatment arms (3 patients each). Adverse events of QTc prolongation were 
reported infrequently (4 cases in the iclaprim arms and 2 cases in the linezolid arms) and no cases of QTc 
prolongation related cardiac effects classified as treatment related AE were observed in these studies. 
Iclaprim led to a mean increase of the QTc interval by about 5 to 6 msec greater than that observed with 
linezolid, which is considered clinically well tolerated. 
The analysis of liver enzyme level increases in cSSSI patients was complex, as in addition to study drug 
treatment a number of other conditions can contribute to such effects, such as general state of health, 
underlying inflammatory condition, HCV, HBV and HAV, lifestyle (ie, drug / alcohol abuse), besides the 
effects of treatment with the study drug. Overall, the increases in ALT and aspartate aminotransferase 
(AST) levels observed upon IV exposure using the therapeutic dose in the cSSSI population were similar to 
those observed with linezolid treatment and were considered not to be of major clinical significance, since 
they were asymptomatic and without significant concomitant increase in bilirubin: no Hy’s law cases were

5.4 
Rationale 
5.4.1 
Rationale for the Current Study 
Iclaprim is an antibiotic (DHFR) designed to be effective against bacteria that have developed resistance to 
other antibiotics, including trimethoprim. Iclaprim exhibits potent activity against Gram-positive clinical 
isolates of many genera of staphylococci, including methicillin sensitive staphylococci, MRSA, and beta-
hemolytic streptococci (eg, Group A and B streptococci). It is also effective against vancomycin-
intermediate resistant Staphylococcus aureus, vancomycin-resistant Enterococci, and quinolone-resistant 
strains. 
In 2008, following a Phase 3 trial, Arpida submitted a request to the FDA and the EMA (European 
Medicines Agency) for approval to market the compound. On the basis of submitted data, iclaprim was not 
approved and ceased to be developed. Motif has reviewed all preclinical and clinical data, including the US 
and European regulatory correspondences. Compared to the previous ASSIST protocols, the current study 
(protocol ICL-24-ABSSSI2) will employ a different dosing strategy (fixed iclaprim dose instead of weight-
based iclaprim) and will use a different comparator (vancomycin instead of linezolid). This study will also 
be larger, recruiting 100 more patients, and will be conducted in more sites from a number of different 
countries. Protocols ICL-23-ABSSSI1 and ICL-24-ABSSSI2 will also use a new early timepoint (ETP) to 
evaluated early response as a primary efficacy endpoint, as recommended by the new FDA guidance for 
developing ABSSSI drugs [6]. 
Liver function test elevations of uncertain significance were seen in the previous ASSIST protocols. There 
is a need for additional clinical studies to further demonstrate iclaprim’s safety and efficacy. For this 
reason, this Phase 3 clinical study is intended to demonstrate that the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of 
iclaprim are non-inferior to that of vancomycin. This adequate and well-controlled study will thus provide 
important evidence for the marketing approval application of iclaprim for the treatment of ABSSSIs. 
5.4.2 
Rationale for patient population 
Iclaprim is active against the major pathogens associated with ABSSSI. Therefore, adult patients with signs 
and symptoms of wound infection (caused by external trauma [eg, needle sticks or insect bites]), cellulitis, 
or major cutaneous abscess with surrounding cellulitis are eligible for this study. Evaluation of patients 
with these major infection subtypes of ABSSSI will provide support for the use of iclaprim in the broader 
ABSSSI population. 
5.4.3 
Rationale for Iclaprim dose regimen 
Therapy for ABSSSI is generally 5 to 14 days. An iclaprim dose of 80 mg administered over 2 hours every 
12 hours (q12h) is selected as the dosing regimen to be progressed in pivotal studies based upon exposure 
projections. The selected dose is designed to optimize the efficacy and safety profiles of iclaprim based on 
the following considerations 
• 
When iclaprim was tested in standard rodent models of infection, good efficacy was observed. The 
primary PK/PD predictors for efficacy were determined to be (1) the ratio of the area under the curve 
(AUC) to the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC), ie, AUC/MIC, and (2) the time above the 
MIC, ie, T > MIC, expressed as a percent of the dosing interval. Thus, optimization of these two 
parameters would be expected to maximize the efficacy of the drug. 
• 
A thorough QTc (TQTc) study indicated that there was an association between the maximum QTc 
value and the maximum plasma iclaprim concentration (Cmax). Thus, minimization of Cmax would be 
expected to correspond to optimal cardiovascular safety of iclaprim. In the TQTc study, doses of 
1 mg/kg and 2 mg/kg administered over 0.5 hours led to dose related increases in the QTc, whereas

0.5 mg/kg administered over 0.5 hours did not. The increases in QTc for the 1 mg/kg dose were 
considered to be mild, with a mean (95% confidence interval) change in the placebo- and baseline-
corrected QTcB of 10.3 (3.3, 17.3) msec. This dose was associated with a geometric mean (95% 
confidence interval) Cmax of 792 (682, 919) ng/mL. A reference Cmax of 800 ng/mL was therefore 
used for the evaluation of potential dosing regimens with respect to the risk of QTc prolongation. 
• 
Iclaprim was administered at a dose of 0.8 mg/kg over 0.5 hours g12h in the ASSIST-1 and ASSIST-2 
to 470 patients. Iclaprim was well tolerated in both studies at this dose. Adverse events related to QTc 
prolongation were reported infrequently (4 cases in the iclaprim arms and 2 cases in the linezolid arms) 
and no cases of QTc prolongation-related cardiac effects classified as treatment related AEs were 
observed in these studies. Iclaprim led to a mean increase of the QTc interval by about 5 to 6 msec 
greater than that observed with linezolid, a drug that is considered to be clinically well tolerated. 
• 
A population pharmacokinetic (PK) analysis of the data from the ASSIST studies demonstrated no 
relationship between the clearance (CL) of iclaprim and body weight, suggesting that a fixed rather 
than weight-based dose should be used.  
The ASSIST-1 and ASSIST-2 studies used sparse sampling with a population PK analysis. The post-hoc 
estimates of the individual patient PK parameters were used to simulate the plasma iclaprim concentration-
time profiles for each patient and from those profiles, the corresponding values for Cmaxss, AUC(0-24)ss, 
AUC/MIC, and T > MIC. In these analyses, the MIC value used was based on the MIC90 of S. aureus of 
120 ng/mL identified in worldwide surveillance studies. Various fixed dose regimens were examined with 
respect to maximizing AUC/MIC and T > MIC while minimizing the probability of a steady-state Cmax 
(Cmaxss) ≥800 ng/mL.  The results of these simulations form the basis for the selection of the dose in 
proposed pivotal studies. 
The data from the simulations of the fixed dose regimens (64 mg, 72 mg, and 80 mg) based on the post-hoc 
estimates of iclaprim PK in 470 patients indicate that administration of 80 mg as a 2 hour infusion should 
provide a 28% increase in AUC/MIC and a 32% increase in the T > MIC compared to the dosing regimen 
used in the previous ASSIST trials, while keeping Cmaxss below the reference Cmax of 800 ng/mL from 
the TQTc study and lower than the observed mean values for Cmax at doses > 0.5 mg/kg in the TQTc 
studies. Therefore, the regimen of 80 mg administered over 2 hours q12h would be expected to maximize 
the likelihood of antibacterial efficacy while minimizing the potential for QTc prolongation. 
An iclaprim dose of 40 mg administered over 2 hours every 12 hours (q12h) is selected as the dosing 
regimen for patients with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B [Appendix E]). An open-label, 
parallel, single dose study to investigate the pharmacokinetics of iclaprim in subjects with hepatic or renal 
dysfunction and in obese subjects showed a 2.5-fold increase in AUC and a 1.4-fold increase in Cmax. Since 
iclaprim clearance was reduced by 50%, a 50% reduction in dose will be used for patients with moderate 
hepatic impairment [7]. 
5.4.4 
Rationale for choice of comparator 
In this study, patients will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive fixed-dose iclaprim (group 1) or 
weight-based vancomycin (group 2). 
Vancomycin is a glycopeptide antibiotic and is active against many Gram-positive bacteria, including 
Staphylococcus aureus [8]. It is indicated in potentially life-threatening infections, is used for therapy of 
severe staphylococcal infections, and remains as the recommended first-line empiric therapy for ABSSSIs 
(purulent and nonpurulent) [8,9]. It is widely available, is cost-effective, and its safety has been well 
established over years of use [9]. 
Vancomycin has been chosen as the comparator in this double-blind study because it is the standard of care 
Gram-positive treatment for ABSSSI according to Infectious Diseases Society of America guidelines, most 
commonly used empiric Gram-positive treatment for ABSSSI, it will help facilitate blinding (compatible

infusion times), and recent FDA-approved ABSSSI treatments used vancomycin as the treatment 
comparator during clinical trials. 
According to the most recent recommendations for vancomycin dosing compiled by the Infectious Diseases 
Society of America, the American Society of Health-System Pharmacists, and the Society of Infectious 
Diseases Pharmacists, it is recommended that dose adjustments be based on monitored trough levels to 
maintain the required therapeutic concentration levels [10]. This is the most practical and accurate method 
of assessing vancomycin effectiveness [10]. The recommended trough serum concentrations are either 10 
to 15 mg/L for patients with an organism whose minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) is ≤1 mg/L or 15 
to 20 mg/L for patients with an organism whose MIC is >1 mg/L [11]. Normal saline dummy infusions will 
be used to maintain the blind. 
Vancomycin dosing will be capped at 1750 mg per dose; in morbidly obese patients (above 100 kg of body 
weight), there is little additional increase in creatinine clearance at doses >1750 mg [12,13,14,15].

from the size at baseline, no increase in lesion size since ETP, and no requirement for additional 
antibiotics [except aztreonam and metronidazole] or unplanned significant surgical procedures 
after ETP other than bedside wound care) at Test of Cure (TOC) visit (7 to14 days after the end of 
treatment); 
2. Resolution or near resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at End of Therapy (EOT);

INVESTIGATION PLAN 
7.1 
Overall Study Design and Plan Description 
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind study of the efficacy and safety of iclaprim compared to 
vancomycin. Patients will receive either iclaprim or vancomycin for 5 to 14 days, which comprises the 
range of total treatment duration. Patients will be evaluated daily up to ETP, then every 48 to 72 hours 
through the end of treatment. If the last dose of study drug falls on a day when an evaluation was not 
planned, an additional evaluation visit will need to be performed on that day (ie. All EOT evaluations 
should be performed on the last day [+2 days] of drug dose). Patients will also be evaluated at the TOC 
visit (7 to 14 days post-EOT), and will have a Late Follow-Up (LFU) phone call (28 to 32 days post-first 
dose) Note, however, that patients with high LFTs and unresolved AEs at TOC must be seen in person for 
an additional visit at LFU. The total duration of participation in the study for each patient is 29 to 33 days. 
After completing screening procedures, including obtaining cultures from a clinical specimen prior to 
antibacterial therapy, a total of 600 patients (300 per treatment group) will be randomized (1:1) to receive 
either: (1) iclaprim 80 mg every 12 hours or (2) vancomycin 15 mg/kg. The duration of treatment for both 
groups will be 5 days (minimum duration) to 14 days (maximum duration). Assignment to study treatment 
will be performed using a central randomization system. Approximately 80 active centers will be recruited. 
Figure 1 displays a diagram of the study design. 
The investigators, clinical study personnel, sponsor, and the patients will remain blinded with respect to the 
study drug treatment allocation. The unblinded pharmacist or his/her designee will be responsible for 
preparation of infusions. To account for the variable vancomycin dosing intervals, normal saline dummy 
infusions will be used to maintain the blind for patients who require a vancomycin dosing frequency other 
than Q12h. 
Concomitant antibiotics aztreonam and metronidazole used in compliance with their respective prescribing 
information are allowed at the discretion of the investigator during the study treatment phase. 
Systemic antibiotics (other than aztreonam and metronidazole) or topical antibiotics at the site of the 
ABSSSI under investigation, steroids >20 mg/day prednisolone or equivalent; and Type I A and 
Type III-antiarrhythmic drugs are prohibited.

• 
Treatment-emergent LFT abnormalities (see Section 7.6.2.6.4 for expected evaluations): 
o 
Patients who have confirmed AST or ALT elevations of > 5X ULN should be 
discontinued from study medication and followed through LFU for safety; and 
o 
Patients who have a bilirubin ≥ 2X ULN with an AST or ALT ≥ 3X ULN and with an 
alkaline phosphatase (ALP) < 2X ULN should be immediately discontinued from study 
medication and followed through LFU. 
• 
Treatment-emergent acute kidney injury: 
o 
Patients who have a confirmed increase in serum creatinine (SCr) of 0.5 mg/dL from 
baseline, if SCr was normal at baseline, or (2) a 50% increase in SCr from baseline, if the 
upper limit of SCr was not normal at baseline. This does not apply to patients on 
hemodialysis, continuous renal replacement therapy (e.g., CVVH, CVVHD), or 
peritoneal dialysis [12]. 
7.3.3.3 
Follow-up of Patients Prematurely Discontinued from the Study Treatment Regimen or 
Withdrawn from Study 
If a patient must be discontinued from the study treatment prior to the EOT evaluation, premature 
termination procedures should be performed at the time of withdrawal and appropriate standard of care 
therapy instituted. The reason for discontinuation, if known, and the antibacterial therapy must be recorded 
on the case report form (CRF). All patients will be requested to return for the TOC visit irrespective of 
whether randomized study treatment is completed. 
7.4 
Treatment of Patients 
7.4.1 
Treatments Administered 
7.4.1.1 
Investigational product, dosage and mode of administration 
Iclaprim will be administered at a dose of 80 mg in 500 mL normal saline, infused over 2 hours q12h for 5 
to 14 days. A window of +/- 2 hours is acceptable. 
Iclaprim must not be administered as a bolus injection, undiluted solution, intramuscular injection, or 
subcutaneous injection. 
For subjects with moderate hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh Class B [Appendix E]), iclaprim will be 
administered at a dose of 40 mg in 500 mL normal saline, infused over 2 hours q12h for 5 to 14 days. 
7.4.1.2 
Reference therapy, dosage, and mode of administration 
Vancomycin will be dosed as follows: 15 mg/kg body weight (to a maximum of 1750 mg; using actual 
body weight) in 500 mL normal saline infused over 2 hours for 5 to 14 days. Dosing interval will be every 
q12h, q24h, q48h, or based on daily levels based on creatinine clearance. Patients randomized to 
vancomycin who require dosing intervals of q24h, q48h, or dosed by daily level due to renal impairment 
will receive dummy infusions (normal saline) at 12 hour intervals when they are not to receive vancomycin. 
Patients who are on intermittent hemodialysis will be dosed after dialysis based on their pre-hemodialysis 
level. Patients who are on continuous renal replacement therapy will be dosed q24h.

It is strongly recommended that vancomycin dosing be adjusted based on trough levels to maintain a trough 
of either 10 to 15 mg/L for patients with an organism whose MIC is ≤1 mg/L or 15 to 20 mg/L for patients 
with an organism whose MIC is >1 mg/L. Trough levels should be drawn at Dose 5 for patients with 
normal renal function. For patients with renal impairment (creatinine clearance < 75 mL/min), the 
following table should be used for the initial dosing interval:

Patients with a creatinine clearance ≥25 mL/min should have their vancomycin level checked with the 5th 
dose due to difficulty interpreting levels checked prior to achieving steady state. 
For patients with a creatinine clearance < 25 mL/min, a daily level should be obtained and the unblinded 
team should monitor and re-dose the patient when that level is below 20 mg/L. 
See Appendix D for the vancomycin dosing nomogram. 
In the event that trough level monitoring is not available locally, sites may alternatively monitor creatinine 
clearance (CrCL) and adjust vancomycin dosing based on changes to CrCL.

7.4.2.3 
Storage and Stability 
Unopened ampoules of iclaprim should be stored at room temperature, below 25°C. Any unused contents 
of the opened ampoules must be discarded. The contents of the diluted solution for infusion may be stored 
for up to 24 hours at room temperature. Until dispensed to the patients, the study medication will be stored 
in a securely locked area, accessible to authorized personnel only. 
Vancomycin or allowed concomitant antibiotics must be prepared and stored in accordance with the 
manufacturer's specifications, separately from iclaprim. 
7.4.2.4 
Study Drug Accountability, Reconciliation, and Return 
The sponsor will provide each investigator with sufficient amounts of the study medication. The 
investigator will confirm receipt of all batches of study medication in writing. 
The investigator will administer the study medication only to patients enrolled in this study and according 
to the procedures in this study protocol. Each patient will be given only the study medication carrying his 
or her randomization number. Each administration of study medication will be documented in the 
electronic case report form (eCRF). 
All supplies must be accounted for at the end of the study. The investigator’s unblinded designee must 
maintain accurate and adequate records, including dates; lot numbers; quantities received; individual usage, 
etc. The investigator’s designee must also return all unused supplies to the sponsor (or designee), noting the 
exact amount used in the study, regardless of whether the study was completed or terminated prematurely. 
At the time of return, the investigator’s unblinded designee must verify that all unused or partially used 
study medication supplies have been returned and that no remaining supplies are in the investigator's 
possession. 
7.4.3 
Method of Assigning Patients to Treatment Groups and Measures to Minimize/Avoid Bias 
7.4.3.1 
Randomization/Patient Identification 
Once a signed and dated consent form and the patient’s medical history have been obtained, the inclusion 
and exclusion criteria have been met, appropriate information has been obtained (including demographics, 
such as age and gender, as well as creatinine value), a complete physical examination has been completed 
(including weight), the biological samples have been collected, and ECGs have been obtained, the patient 
will be assigned a patient number and drug assignment via a centralized randomization system (IXRS). 
Randomization will occur in a 1:1 ratio into 1 of the 2 treatment groups: fixed-dose iclaprim or 
weight-based vancomycin. The IXRS will calculate the weight-based vancomycin dose (including CrCL 
considerations). 
As this is a double-blind study, all individuals except the unblinded pharmacist (and delegated unblinded 
staff) at the study site must remain blinded to the IV study therapy regimen. The unblinded pharmacist will 
access the IXRS and will receive open-labeled clinical supplies from Motif to prepare each dose of IV 
study therapy for each individual patient.  
 A single patient cannot be assigned more than 1 allocation number. 
7.4.3.2 
Blinding 
This is a double-blind study (operating under in-house blinding procedures) in which the patient enrolled, 
the study investigator, study center personnel, and the sponsor will be blinded to which clinical material is 
received until all patients have completed the study, the data have been screened for completeness and 
accuracy, the database has been locked, and protocol violators have been identified. There will be an 
unblinded pharmacist (and delegated unblinded staff) at each study center who will prepare and account for

the infusion bags of active study therapy according to guidelines provided in the pharmacy manual. 
Vancomycin weight-based dosing levels will only be known to the unblinded study team. The unblinded 
pharmacist and his/her delegated staff will not be involved in any management or evaluation of the safety 
and efficacy parameters in the patient. All study personnel involved with patient eligibility and evaluation 
of safety and efficacy outcomes, including the study coordinator(s), investigator, or subinvestigator(s), 
must not have access to the treatment group assignment or the preparation of the infusion.  
Study blinding is employed to ensure the integrity of the data being collected. However, the safety of the 
patients participating in the study must not be compromised. If unblinding is urgently required to guide the 
immediate medical management of the patient, the investigator will be able to access the IXRS to 
determine the patient’s treatment group assignment. The IXRS unmasking feature is intended to be used 
only in situations in which emergency unblinding of the patient (eg, knowledge of the exact treatment 
group required for treatment of a serious adverse experience) is deemed medically necessary. If any patient 
is unblinded prior to the completion of the study (either accidental unblinding or emergency unblinding for 
a serious adverse experience), the investigator must promptly contact the appropriate sponsor representative 
to document the circumstances on the appropriate eCRF. 
Study medication accountability will be noted by the unblinded CRA during site visits and at study 
completion. 
7.4.4 
Prior and Concomitant Medications 
Any medication the patient takes other than study medications is considered a concomitant medication. All 
concomitant medications (except parenteral or enteral nutrition or IV solutions solely for the purpose of 
hydration or keeping the vein patent, and all nondrug therapy [surgeries, debridements, etc.]) must be 
recorded in the eCRF. The following information must be recorded in the eCRF for each concomitant 
medication: trade name, route of administration, dates of administration, dosage, and indication. 
At baseline, patients will be asked what medications they have taken during the previous 30 days. From 
first dose to TOC, patients will be asked what concomitant medications they are currently taking or changes 
since their previous study visit. 
7.4.4.1 
Permitted 
Aztreonam and metronidazole are allowed concomitant antibiotics at the discretion of the investigator. No 
synergism or antagonism has been observed with these antibiotics and iclaprim or vancomycin. They must 
be used in compliance with their respective package insert. For patients in whom Gram staining of 
culturable material or cultures indicates that Gram-negative coverage is required, and for patients in whom 
anaerobic pathogens are suspected or confirmed as pathogens at the infected site, aztreonam and 
metronidazole may be administered, respectively. Treatment with these agents should be continued for at 
least 5 days and should not be required for longer than the treatment duration of study medication. 
The use of aztreonam therapy was selected because it has activity against a wide spectrum of 
Gram-negative aerobic bacteria without cross-coverage of Gram-positive pathogens and provides, in 
combination with iclaprim or vancomycin, adequate empirical coverage for common aerobic 
Gram-positive, and Gram-negative pathogens associated with ABSSSI. Please refer to the country-specific 
package insert for recommendations about aztreonam dosing. 
Metronidazole was selected as a permitted concomitant antibiotic therapy because it has activity against 
anaerobic bacteria without cross-coverage of aerobic Gram-positive pathogens. The investigator has the 
discretion to determine if IV or p.o. metronidazole is administered. Please refer to the country-specific 
package insert for recommendations about metronidazole dosing. 
No other systemic antibiotics or topical antibiotics at the site of the ABSSSI under investigation may be 
used.

Abbreviations: ASO = anti-streptolysin O; EOT = End of Therapy; ETP = Early Timepoint; LFT=liver function test; LFU = Late Follow-up; TOC = Test of Cure.  
1 Must be performed during the baseline visit and completed within 24 hours of study entry (first dose of study drug). 
2 Patients with high LFTs and unresolved AEs at TOC will be required to come in for an additional visit at LFU (for LFTs, blood samples will be obtained to document normalization). If duration of 
therapy is 14 days, LFU may overlap with TOC. In this case, all LFU evaluations may take place at the TOC visit. 
3 Complete physical examination, including vital signs (includes determination of body temperature), height, weight, and a review by body systems. 
4 Limited physical examination, including vital signs (includes determination of body temperature) and excluding weight and height. 
5 Eight signs (tenderness to palpitation, erythema, edema, purulent drainage/discharge, fluctuance, induration, ulceration, and necrotic tissue) and four symptoms (localized pain, swelling, chills, and 
fever) of infection will be assessed at each evaluation and graded on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, or 3=severe). The extent of the infection (to include width, length, and depth and 
diagram of the infection site) will be determined via photography at baseline, ETP, EOT, and TOC only. Photography procedures outlined in Appendix B will be followed. Acetate based planimetric 
tracing will follow the procedures outlined in Appendix C. (Planimetry measurements are based upon automatic detection of pixels inside of the traced skin infection area. Pixels are converted to 
calibrated units based on the scanned resolution [eg, 300 DPI]. Skin infection measurements will be provided in cm2.). Patients who have a worsening of clinical signs and symptoms of ABSSSI 
during study medication treatment such that additional or alternative systemic antibacterial therapy is warranted must be withdrawn from study medication. 
6 All adverse events will be recorded throughout the study period, up to and including the LFU phone call. 
7 Hematology comprises a complete blood count (RBC count, WBC count with differential counts, platelet count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit), MCH, MCHC, MCV, and CRP. Clinical chemistry 
comprises creatinine, BUN, AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, albumin, total protein, glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride, bicarbonate, LDH, GGT, and CPK. Urinalysis comprises 
determination of pH, specific gravity, presence of blood, glucose, protein, ketones, and bile, and microscopic examination of sediment. 
8 Serum pregnancy test must be obtained immediately prior to randomization. If obtaining the serum pregnancy result would cause a delay in treatment, the patient can be entered on the basis of a 
negative urine pregnancy test result. The urine pregnancy test must be sensitive to at least 50 mU/mL of beta-hCG, pending results of the serum test. The patient must inform the investigator if she 
becomes pregnant, and study medication must be withdrawn. 
9 Obtain two sets of blood cultures (aerobic and anaerobic) 10 minutes apart from two separate peripheral sites. 
10 If patient has a blood culture that grows a Gram-negative pathogen from Visit 1 blood cultures, the patient must be withdrawn from study medication and started on the appropriate antibiotics for 
complicated bacteremia. If patient has signs of bacteremia, obtain two sets of aerobic/anaerobic blood cultures 10 minutes apart that are collected at different sites. 
11 If patient has a blood culture that grows a Gram-negative pathogen from Visit 2 blood cultures, the patient must be withdrawn from study medication and started on the appropriate antibiotics for 
complicated bacteremia. If patient has a blood culture that grows a Gram-positive pathogen from Visit 1 and/or Visit 2 blood cultures, another 2 sets of blood cultures must be obtained at both Visit 3 
and Visit 4. If these are positive, the patient must be withdrawn from study medication and started on the appropriate antibiotics for complicated bacteremia. 
12 A window of +/- 2 hours is acceptable for infusion of study medication. For patients randomized to receive vancomycin, it is strongly recommended that vancomycin dosing be adjusted based on 
trough levels to maintain a trough of either 10 to 15 mg/L for patients with an organism whose MIC is ≤1 mg/L or 15 to 20 mg/L for patients with an organism whose MIC is >1 mg/L. If dose 
adjustments made due to trough monitoring are implemented, they should be performed in such a manner as to ensure that the blind is maintained.  In the event that trough level monitoring is not 
available locally, sites may alternatively monitor creatinine clearance (CrCL) and adjust vancomycin dosing based on changes to CrCL. 
13 If the last dose of study drug falls on a day when an evaluation was not planned, an additional evaluation visit will need to be performed on that day (ie, all EOT evaluations should be performed on 
the last day [+2 days] of drug dose). 
14 If clinically indicated (ie, investigator may decide on a given day that a patient no longer needs treatment. In these cases, medication will not be administered, but all other EOT assessments must be

15 On Day 1, before the start of first study medication infusion and within 5 to 15 minutes, 1 to 3 hours, and 5 to 7 (ensure last PK sample is taken prior to next dose) hours after the infusion. 
16 Before the start of study medication infusion at ETP and EOT, and within 5 to 15 minutes, l to 3 hours, and 5 to 7 hours (ensure last PK sample is taken prior to next dose) after the ETP and EOT 
infusions. 
17 On Day 1, before the start of first study medication infusion and within 10 minutes of the end of the first study medication infusion. If the median QTcF value is >500 msec and/or is >60 msec 
different from the predose baseline value, follow-up ECG tests should be performed every 1 to 2 hours until they are below these threshold values. 
18 At ETP, an ECG should be performed before the start of study medication infusion and within 10 minutes of the end of the study medication infusion. 
19 Prior to randomization, all patients (regardless of the disease type) should have appropriate cultures obtained. Deep culture samples, such as from a biopsy, needle aspiration, surgically obtained 
specimens, or punch biopsies of an area contiguous to the infected wound should be obtained. Swabs are not acceptable; cultures will be performed locally, where isolates will be retained for transport 
to a central microbiology laboratory for susceptibility testing according to CLSI-approved methodology. Note that only target pathogens will be sent to the central microbiology laboratory (therefore, 
contaminants/Gram-negative isolates [from mixed wound infections] in blood cultures do not need to be sent). If the patient is discontinued from the study due to treatment failure, a clinical specimen 
will be obtained at that time only. Additional clinical specimens will be obtained, if clinically feasible and if the patient has persistent clinical signs or symptoms, at ETP, EOT, and TOC. 
20 For vancomycin patients with a creatinine clearance < 25mL/min, a daily level should be obtained and the unblinded team should monitor and re-dose the patient when that level is below 20 mg/L. 
21 Vancomycin patients with a creatinine clearance ≥25 mL/min should have their vancomycin level checked with the 5th dose due to difficulty interpreting levels checked prior to achieving steady state.

Obtain informed consent; 
• 
Record medical history (pre-existing conditions); 
• 
Prior medications (within the preceding 30 days) 
• 
Verify inclusion and exclusion criteria; 
• 
Perform complete physical examination, including vital signs (includes determination of body 
temperature), height, weight, and a review by body systems; 
• 
Assess clinical signs and symptoms of ABSSSI; including photography (procedure outlined in 
Appendix B). Acetate based planimetric tracing will follow the procedures outlined in 
Appendix C. (Planimetry measurements are based upon automatic detection of pixels inside of the 
traced skin infection area. Pixels are converted to calibrated units based on the scanned resolution 
[eg, 300 DPI]. Skin infection measurements will be provided in cm2;

LFT safety assessment; 
• 
C-reactive protein (CRP) assessment; 
• 
Obtain blood and urine samples for clinical chemistry, hematology, and UA; 
• 
Serum pregnancy test must be obtained immediately prior to randomization. If obtaining the 
serum pregnancy result would cause a delay in treatment, the patient can be entered on the basis of 
a negative urine pregnancy test result. The urine pregnancy test must be sensitive to at least 50 
mU/mL of beta-hCG, pending results of the serum test. The patient must inform the investigator if 
she becomes pregnant, and study medication must be withdrawn; 
• 
Obtain two sets of blood cultures (aerobic and anaerobic) 10 minutes apart from two separate 
peripheral sites;  
• 
Perform and assess 12-lead ECG (3 ECGs at least 1 minute apart); 
• 
Obtain sample for culture from infection site. Deep culture samples, such as from a biopsy, needle 
aspiration, surgically obtained specimens, or punch biopsies of an area contiguous to the infected 
wound should be obtained. Swabs are not acceptable; cultures will be performed locally, where 
isolates will be retained for transport to a central microbiology laboratory for susceptibility testing 
according to CLSI-approved methodology; 
•

7.6.1.1 
Primary Efficacy Assessments 
The primary efficacy endpoint will be the proportion of randomized patients who achieve an early clinical 
response (defined as reduction in the lesion size ≥20% compared to baseline) at 48 to 72 hours (ETP) as 
measured by planimetric tracing (See Appendix C). 
7.6.1.2 
Secondary Efficacy Assessments 
The secondary endpoints are resolution or near resolution of ABSSSI (ie, clinical cure) at TOC for iclaprim 
compared with vancomycin, resolution or near resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at EOT, resolution or near 
resolution (≥90%) of ABSSSI at EOT and TOC among patients with severe infection at baseline, time to 
resolution of signs and symptoms of ABSSSI, by-patient bacteriological response rate at EOT and TOC, 
and by-pathogen bacteriological response rate at EOT and TOC. 
7.6.1.2.1 
Clinical Assessment 
The primary endpoint for clinical response (defined as the reduction in lesion size ≥20% compared to 
baseline) will be evaluated in all randomized patients at ETP (48 to 72 hours post-first dose). Patients who 
have died or who received rescue antibacterial therapy prior to that time will be included as treatment 
failures. In addition, clinical outcome will be evaluated by the investigator at EOT and TOC (7 to 14 days 
post-EOT). The assessments of clinical outcome will be categorized as cure, failure, or indeterminate 
defined as follows: 
• 
Cure: defined by a ≥90% reduction in lesion size from baseline, no increase in lesion size since 
ETP, and no requirement for additional antibiotics (except aztreonam and metronidazole) or 
unplanned significant surgical procedures;

Protocol/Amendment No.: 
Iclaprim 
ICL-24-ABSSSI2-01 
 
• 
Failure: reduction in lesion size that is <20% for ETP and <90% for EOT and TOC compared to 
baseline, death related to the infection, persisting or recurrent infection, need for unplanned 
surgical procedure, or administration of rescue antibiotic therapy for the index infection or 
recurrence of index infection; or  
• 
Indeterminate: data inadequate for assessment of efficacy (there are no post-baseline local or 
systemic signs and symptoms data available to make this assessment [eg, patient lost to follow up] 
after <2 days of treatment or <4 doses and no EOT evaluation), lost to follow-up prior to ETP, 
withdrawal of consent, receipt of effective antibiotic therapy for a cause other than the index 
infection, or death not attributed to the index ABSSSI or complication of ABSSSI. 
7.6.1.2.2 
Clinical Signs and Symptoms of Infection 
Eight signs (tenderness to palpitation, erythema, edema, purulent drainage/discharge, fluctuance, 
induration, ulceration, and necrotic tissue) and 4 symptoms (localized pain, swelling, chills, and fever) of 
infection will be assessed at each evaluation and graded on a scale of 0 to 3 (0=none, 1=mild, 2=moderate, 
or 3=severe). 
7.6.1.2.3 
Microbiology Assessment 
An adequate clinical specimen for microbiologic evaluation (eg, pus from a wound or abscess, an aspirate 
or skin biopsy specimen from the leading edge of cellulitis) will be obtained at baseline prior to 
randomization. Additional clinical specimens will be obtained, if clinically feasible and if the patient has 
persistent clinical signs or symptoms, at ETP, EOT, and TOC. If the patient is discontinued from the study 
due to treatment failure, a clinical specimen will be obtained at that time. Specimens will be evaluated by 
the local microbiology laboratory; in addition, isolates will be subcultured and sent to a central 
microbiology laboratory for confirmation of pathogen identity and MICs 
Two sets of blood samples for aerobic/anaerobic cultures 10 minutes apart from different sites peripherally 
will be obtained within 24 hours prior to the first dose of study drug. If patient has a blood culture that 
grows a Gram-negative pathogen from Visit 1 blood cultures, the patient must be withdrawn from study 
medication and started on the appropriate antibiotics for complicated bacteremia. If patient has signs of 
bacteremia at any Visit, 2 sets of aerobic/anaerobic blood cultures that are collected at different sites should 
be obtained 10 minutes apart. If patient has a blood culture that grows a Gram-negative pathogen from 
Visit 2 blood cultures, the patient must be withdrawn from study medication and started on the appropriate 
antibiotics for complicated bacteremia. If patient has a blood culture that grows a Gram-positive pathogen 
from Visit 1 and/or Visit 2 blood cultures, another 2 sets of blood cultures must be obtained at both Visit 3 
and Visit 4. If these are positive, the patient must be withdrawn from study medication and started on the 
appropriate antibiotics for complicated bacteremia. Blood cultures from intravascular devices are not 
permitted. Any potential pathogen will be subcultured and the isolates shipped to the central laboratory. 
The data generated by the central laboratory will be used for the primary analysis. Anti-streptolysin O titers 
will also be taken within 24 hours of the start of treatment. 
Microbiological response will be assessed at the patient level and at the microbiological level on the basis 
of results of the cultures, the susceptibilities of identified organisms, and the clinical outcome of the patient. 
In patients with a Gram-positive pathogen isolated at baseline, microbiological response by patient will be 
determined at ETP, EOT, and TOC visits and categorized as eradication, presumed eradication (no material 
available for culture in clinically cured patients), persistence, presumed persistence (no material available 
for culture in patients who had clinical failure), indeterminate (those patients with clinical outcome of 
indeterminate), superinfection (ie, the emergence of a new isolate documented at the site of infection with 
worsening signs and symptoms of infection–identified after completion of therapy), or recurrent infection 
(pathogen that is different from baseline pathogen[s] is isolated). 
The protocol for shipment of isolates from the local laboratory to the central laboratory, and details of the 
environmental conditions under which specimens and isolates will be stored, can be found in the

7.6.1.2.3.1 
By-Pathogen Bacteriological Response 
For each assessment (ETP, EOT, and TOC), the by-pathogen bacteriological response for each causative 
organism identified at baseline will be defined as follows: 
• 
Eradication: baseline causative organism cannot be isolated from any culture(s) at the assessment. 
• 
Presumed eradication: The patient is a clinical cure at the assessment, and there is no appropriate 
material for culture from the original site of infection. 
• 
Persistence: The baseline causative pathogen (based on susceptibility profile or molecular typing) 
is isolated at the assessment. 
• 
Presumed persistence: The patient is a clinical failure at the assessment, and no appropriate 
material is available for culture from the original site of ABSSSI. 
• 
Indeterminate: Clinical response was Indeterminate at the assessment and no appropriate material 
is available for culture from the original site of ABSSSI. 
• 
Superinfection: A pathogen is isolated at the assessment that is different from the baseline 
causative pathogen. 
• 
Recurrent infection: A pathogen is isolated only after the EOT visit that is different from the 
baseline pathogen(s). 
7.6.1.2.3.2 
By-Patient Bacteriological Response 
The by-patient bacteriological response will be determined according to the following definitions: 
• 
Eradication: All baseline Gram-positive causative organism(s) have a response of Eradication. 
• 
Presumed eradication: All baseline Gram-positive causative organism(s) have a response of 
Presumed Eradication or a combination of responses of Eradication and Presumed Eradication. 
• 
Persistence: All or some baseline Gram-positive causative organism(s) have a response of 
Persistence or a combination of responses of Persistence and Presumed Persistence. 
• 
Presumed persistence: All or some baseline Gram-positive causative organism(s) have a response 
of Presumed Persistence. 
• 
Indeterminate: All baseline causative organism(s) have a response of Indeterminate. 
• 
Superinfection: Any patient classified as a clinical failure who has a pathogen isolated during 
therapy that is different from the baseline causative pathogen. 
• 
Recurrent infection: Any patient classified as a clinical failure who has a pathogen isolated after 
the EOT visit only, that is different from the baseline pathogen(s).

adverse events will be recorded throughout the study period, up to and including the LFU phone call. While 
blinded to treatment assignment, the investigator will categorize the severity of each AE and the potential 
for relationship to study drug. Serious AEs include those that were life threatening, led to prolongation of 
the existing hospitalization, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, or caused persistent or significant disability, 
incapacity, or death. Treatment-emergent AEs (TEAEs) will be defined as those that start or worsen in 
severity during or after the first dose of study drug administration through end of study. 
The guidance for grading the severity of adverse events can be found in Appendix G. 
7.6.2.1 
Adverse Events 
7.6.2.1.1 
Definitions 
The term "adverse event," as used by the sponsor, is synonymous with the term "adverse experience," 
which is used by the FDA. 
An AE is any untoward, undesired, unplanned clinical event in the form of signs, symptoms, disease, or 
laboratory or physiological observations occurring in a human being participating in a clinical study with a 
sponsor test article, regardless of causal relationship. This includes the following: 
• Any clinically significant worsening of a pre-existing condition. 
• Note: Emergence of a new pathogen associated with a clinical event during therapy at a site 
other than the initial site of infection will be considered to be an AE. 
• Any recurrence of a pre-existing condition. 
• An AE occurring from overdose of a sponsor study drug whether accidental or intentional (ie, a 
dose higher than that prescribed by a health care professional for clinical reasons). 
• An AE occurring from abuse of a sponsor study drug (ie, use for nonclinical reasons). 
• An AE that has been associated with the discontinuation of the use of a sponsor study drug. 
 
A procedure is not an AE, but the reason for a procedure may be an AE. 
A pre-existing condition is a clinical condition (including a condition being treated) that is diagnosed 
before the patient signs the ICF. Pre-existing conditions will be recorded on the Medical History/Current 
Medical Conditions page of the eCRF. 
The questions concerning whether the condition existed before the start of the active phase of the study and 
whether it has increased in severity and/or frequency will be used to determine whether an event is a 
TEAE. An AE is considered to be treatment emergent if (1) it is not present when the active phase of the 
study begins and is not a chronic condition that is part of the patient’s medical history, or (2) it is present at 
the start of the active phase of the study or as part of the patient’s medical history, but the severity or 
frequency increases during the active phase. The active phase of the study begins at the time of the first 
dose of the study drug. The active phase of the study ends at the last follow-up visit. 
Abnormal laboratory values or test results constitute AEs only if they induce clinical signs or symptoms or 
require therapy, and are recorded on the AE page of the eCRF under the signs, symptoms, or diagnosis 
associated with them. 
7.6.2.1.2 
Reporting of Adverse Events 
All AEs, including intercurrent illnesses, must be documented. Volunteered, observed, and elicited AEs 
will be recorded in the eCRF. This includes AEs the patient reports spontaneously, those the investigator 
observes, and those the patient reports in response to open-ended questions.

At each visit the investigator, or delegate, will determine whether or not any AEs have occurred. The 
patient will be questioned in a general way and no specific symptoms will be suggested. The patient will be 
asked an open-ended question such as, "How have you been feeling since your last study assessment/visit?" 
All AEs, regardless of relationship to study medication, must be recorded in the patient’s medical records 
and on the AE page(s) of the eCRF. If known, the diagnosis should be recorded, and the individual signs 
and symptoms should be listed. All AE entries should contain the date of onset; time of onset (if known); a 
brief description of the event; duration of event; severity; treatment required; relationship to study 
medication; action taken with regard to study medication; outcome; date and time of resolution (if 
applicable); and whether the event is classified as serious by the investigator. Each AE will be assessed by 
the investigator with regard to seriousness, severity, and relationship to study medication. 
Adverse event reporting begins from the time of informed consent and ends at LFU. 
7.6.2.1.3 
Assessment of Severity 
The severity of each AE must be assessed by the investigator and recorded in the eCRF as mild, moderate, 
or severe defined as the following: 
• 
Mild:  An AE that does not interfere with usual activities. 
• 
Moderate:  An AE that interferes with usual activities. 
• 
Severe:  An AE that is intense or debilitating and interferes with usual activities. 
7.6.2.1.4 
Relationship to Study Treatment 
The relationship of each AE to study medication must be assessed and recorded by the investigator as not 
related, probably not related, probably related, and related. 
• 
Not related:  Clinical event with an incompatible time relationship to drug administration, and 
that could be explained by underlying disease or other drugs or chemicals or is incontrovertibly 
not related to the study drug. 
• 
Probably not related:  Clinical event whose time relationship to drug administration makes a 
causal connection improbable, but that could plausibly be explained by underlying disease or other 
drugs or chemicals. 
• 
Probably related:  Clinical event with a reasonable time relationship to study drug 
administration, but that could also be explained by concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals. 
• 
Related:  Clinical event with plausible time relationship to study drug administration, and that 
cannot be explained by concurrent disease or other drugs or chemicals. 
7.6.2.1.5 
Follow-up of Adverse Events 
Patients with high LFTs and unresolved AEs at TOC must be seen in person for an additional visit at LFU. 
The investigator must continue to follow all non-serious AEs (and SAEs) until they resolve or until the 
investigator assesses them as chronic or stable. This follow-up may extend after the end of the study. 
7.6.2.2 
Serious Adverse Events 
Each AE must be assessed and recorded in the eCRF as serious or not serious. Serious AEs must be 
reported as described in Section 7.6.2.2.2. International Conference on Harmonisation Guidelines and the 
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR; 21 CFR 312.32, revised as of 01 April 2014) define an SAE as any 
adverse drug experience occurring at any dose that results in any of the following outcomes: 
• 
Death; 
• 
A life-threatening adverse event;

• 
Inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; 
• 
A persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life 
functions; or 
• 
A congenital anomaly/birth defect. 
Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require hospitalization may be 
considered serious when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they may jeopardize the patient and 
may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in the above definition. 
Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring intensive treatment in an 
emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not result in inpatient hospitalization, 
or the development of drug dependency or drug abuse. 
Events not considered to be SAEs are: 
1. Clinical failure, which is the primary study endpoint/variable; 
2. Routine treatment or monitoring of the studied indication not associated with any deterioration in 
condition; 
3. Elective or preplanned treatment for a pre-existing condition that did not worsen; and 
4. Treatment on an emergency, outpatient basis for an event not fulfilling any of the definitions of 
serious given above and not resulting in hospital admission. 
7.6.2.2.1 
Review of Serious Adverse Events 
The investigator and the sponsor (or designee) will review each SAE report and evaluate the relationship of 
the SAE to study treatment. Based on the investigator's and sponsor's assessment of the SAE, a decision 
will be made concerning the need for further action. The primary consideration governing further action is 
whether new findings affect the safety of patients participating in the clinical study. If the discovery of a 
new SAE related to the study medication raises concern over the safety of continued administration of the 
study medication to patients, the sponsor will take immediate steps to notify the US FDA/other regulatory 
authorities and all investigators participating in clinical studies of the study medication. 
Further action that may be required includes the following: 
• 
Modification of the protocol; 
• 
Discontinuation or suspension of the study; 
• 
Modification of the existing consent form and informing current study participants of new 
findings; 
• 
Addition of any newly identified study medication-related AEs to the list of expected AEs. 
7.6.2.2.2 
Reporting Serious Adverse Events 
All SAEs, occurring after the signing of the ICF until LFU, and regardless of study drug relationship, must 
be reported by telephone to Covance within 24 hours of obtaining knowledge of the event. The caller’s 
name and telephone number, as well as the name of the drug and study, should be recorded.

The site must also complete the Clinical Safety Event Report (CSER) Form and fax to Covance PV&DSS.  
The CSER Form will collect data surrounding the event, eg, the nature of the symptom(s), time of onset in 
relation to initiation of therapy, duration, intensity, and whether or not therapy was interrupted or 
discontinued. The investigator’s assessment of the probable cause of the event will also be included. In 
addition, relevant medical history, concomitant medications, laboratory and diagnostic tests reports, and 
procedures as well as all pertinent medical information related to the event will also be collected. 
Covance PV&DSS will forward SAE queries directly to the investigator requesting incomplete or missing 
information. It is the investigator’s responsibility to be diligent in providing this information back to 
Covance PV&DSS as soon as it is available. 
If event qualifies for expedited reporting (serious, related, or unexpected events), the CRO will submit a 
report to the FDA by Day 15. If the event is also fatal or life-threatening, the FDA will be notified by Day 7 
via phone, fax, or email (note that the date of first receipt is considered to be Day 0).  Expected safety 
reports will also be distributed to the investigators by Day 15. 
Investigators will be notified by the CRO of all SAEs that require prompt submission to their IRB/IEC. 
Investigators should provide written documentation of IRB/IEC notification for each report to the CRO. 
The CRO will ensure that all SAEs are reported to the appropriate regulatory authorities. For sites using the 
central IRB, the CRO will submit reports to the central IRB on behalf of those sites. 
7.6.2.2.3 
Follow-up of Serious Adverse Events 
The investigator must continue to follow all SAEs (and non-serious AEs) until they resolve or until the 
investigator assesses them as chronic or stable. This follow-up may extend after the end of the study. 
7.6.2.3 
Pregnancy 
Pregnancy (of a female patient, or of a woman impregnated by a male patient during the study), although 
not itself an SAE, should be reported on a Clinical Pregnancy Report Form and be followed up to 
determine the outcome, including spontaneous or voluntary termination, details of birth, and the presence 
or absence of any birth defects or congenital abnormalities. Pregnancy follow-up should be done until the 
infant is at least 6 months of age.

7.6.2.4 
Protocol Deviations due to an Emergency or Adverse Event 
Departures from the protocol may occur in the event of an emergency. In such cases, the investigator or 
other physician in attendance must contact the CRO Medical Monitor as soon as possible to discuss the 
circumstances of the emergency. All protocol deviations and the reasons for such deviations must be 
reported accordingly. 
7.6.2.5 
Safety Laboratory Determinations 
Investigative sites will use local laboratory results to confirm patient eligibility (inclusion/exclusion 
criteria). A central laboratory will receive samples for all safety laboratory evaluations as described in 
Table 3. 
Procedures for the collection, preparation, and transportation of samples to the central laboratory for 
evaluation are detailed in the Laboratory Manual. 
Although the results of these analyses will be provided to the respective investigators on a regular basis, 
investigators should use their local laboratories to generate data necessary for the routine management of 
the patient's medical conditions, since central laboratory results will not be available in a timely manner for 
patient management. 
Clinical hematology and chemistry tests and UA will be performed on certain study days as shown in the 
Schedule of Study Procedures (Table 3). In addition, a serum or urine pregnancy test will be performed 
immediately prior to randomization for female patients of childbearing potential. (Patients who are 
pregnant will be excluded or withdrawn from the study. Patients who become pregnant during the study 
must inform the investigator and be withdrawn from study medication.) 
Clinical hematology tests will include hematocrit, hemoglobin, red blood cell (RBC) count, WBC count, 
platelet count, and WBC differential including neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils, 
basophils, MCH, MCHC, MCV, and CRP. 
Clinical chemistry tests will include creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), AST, ALT, ALP, gamma 
glutamyl transferase, lactate dehydrogenase, creatine phosphokinase, total bilirubin, albumin, total protein, 
glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride, and bicarbonate. 
Urinalysis will include determination of pH, specific gravity, presence of blood, glucose, protein, ketones, 
and bile, and microscopic examination of sediment. 
7.6.2.6 
Vital Signs, Physical Examination, and Other Safety Evaluations 
7.6.2.6.1 
Vital Signs 
Systolic and diastolic blood pressure, heart rate, and respiration rate will be assessed on each study visit. 
7.6.2.6.2 
Physical Examination 
A complete physical examination, including vital signs (includes determination of body temperature), 
height, weight, and a review by body systems, will be conducted at baseline. 
Limited physical examinations, including vital signs (includes determination of body temperature) and 
excluding weight and height, will be conducted at all post-baseline visits.

7.6.2.6.3 
Electrocardiogram 
Twelve-lead ECGs will be performed at screening, Day 1, and at ETP. On Day 1 and at ETP, the triplicate 
ECGs will be taken prior to study medication administration and within 10 minutes of the end of the first 
study medication dose. In addition, a 12-lead ECG will be performed at ETP within 10 minutes after the 
end of infusion, as specified in the Schedule of Study Procedures (Table 3). 
If the median QTcF value is >500 msec and/or is >60 msec different from the predose baseline value, 
follow-up ECG tests should be performed every 1 to 2 hours until they are below these threshold values. 
Fredericia’s formula is as follows: 
QTcF = QT / RR1/3 
All ECG recordings will be taken as triplicates at least 1 minute apart and the median QTcF value will be 
evaluated at the respective study site for exclusion criterion 15 (Section 7.3.2), for compliance with study 
protocol-defined procedures (see above) and safety. 
Furthermore, all ECG tests will also be transmitted to, and electronically stored at, a central center 
specialized in the standardized evaluation of ECG tests. Procedures for performing ECG tests and 
subsequent transmission to and interpretation by the central ECG laboratory are detailed in the ECG 
Manual. 
7.6.2.6.4 
Liver Function Tests 
Liver function tests will be taken at screening, and patients with severe hepatic disease (Child-Pugh 
Class C) or known AST or ALT >5 times the upper limit of normal and/or bilirubin >2 times the upper 
limit of normal will be excluded from the study. During the course of the study, liver function tests will 
also be taken at V2 visits, ETP, EOT, and TOC. Patients with high liver function tests at TOC will be 
required to come in for an additional visit at LFU. Blood samples will be obtained to document 
normalization. 
For patients who meet 1 of the 2 LFT discontinuation criteria (Section 7.3.3.2), an appropriate evaluation of 
causes for the liver enzyme abnormalities should be initiated and the LFTs should be followed every 48-72 
hours until normalization or stability. The following evaluations should be considered: 
• 
History, including alcohol and other drugs of abuse; 
• 
Clinical symptoms – RUQ pain, nausea etc.; 
• 
Viral hepatitis serologies; 
• 
Autoimmune hepatitis serologies; 
• 
Concomitant medication review to eliminate possible heptatotoxic medications where possible; 
• 
Ethanol and acetaminophen/paracetamol levels; and 
• 
Abdominal ultrasound. 
7.6.2.7 
Reporting Safety Information 
The investigator must promptly report to his or her IRB/IEC/ REB all unanticipated problems involving 
risks to patients. This includes death from any cause and all SAEs associated, or possibly associated, with 
the use of the study medication.

Pharmacokinetic Analysis 
Pharmacokinetic samples will be obtained from patients on 3 occasions: following the first dose of study 
medication, at ETP, and at EOT. After the study is complete, the database locked, and the data unblinded, 
patients randomized to iclaprim will have their samples assayed. 
7.7.1 
Collection and Handling of Samples 
Pharmacokinetic blood samples (5 mL) for determination of iclaprim concentrations will be collected on 
Day 1, ETP and EOT at the following timepoints: before study medication infusion, and within 5 to 15 
minutes, 1 to 3 hours, and 5 to 7 hours after the end of study medication infusion (see Table 3). Per patient, 
a total of 12 samples, for a total of 60 mL blood, will be obtained for PK analysis. All samples will be 
labeled to indicate the clinical study number, patient number, actual relative time after study medication 
administration, and sampling number. Processing, storage, and shipping instructions are provided in the 
pharmacy manual. Plasma concentrations of iclaprim will be measured by a validated liquid 
chromatography tandem mass spectrometric detection assay [16]. 
7.8 
Data Handling and Record Keeping 
7.8.1 
Data Quality Assurance 
Before study initiation, at a site initiation visit, or at an investigator's meeting, a sponsor representative will 
review the protocol and CRFs with the investigators and their staff. During the study, the CRA will visit the 
site regularly to check the completeness of patient records, the accuracy of entries in the CRFs, the 
adherence to the protocol and to GCP, the progress of enrollment, and also to ensure that study medication 
is being stored, dispensed, and accounted for according to specifications. Key study personnel should be 
available to assist the monitor during these visits. 
Subsequently, information entered into the database is systematically checked by Data Management staff, 
using error messages printed from validation programs and database listings. Obvious errors, eg, simple 
spelling errors, will be corrected by Data Management personnel. Other errors or omissions will be entered 
on Data Query Forms, which will be returned to the investigational site for resolution. A copy of the signed 
Data Query Form is to be kept with the CRFs, and, once the original is received at the sponsor (or 
designee), the resolutions will be entered into the database. Quality control audits of all key safety and 
efficacy data in the database will be made after entering data from each visit. 
When the database has been declared to be complete and accurate, the database will be locked and 
unblinded. Any changes to the database after that time can only be made by joint written agreement among 
the Clinical Study Leader, the Study Statistician, and the Data Manager. 
Further details are defined in the separate guidelines for data entry and data management personnel. 
7.8.2 
Case Report Forms and Source Documentations 
Investigators must enter the information required by the protocol onto the CRFs in accordance with 
procedures described in the pharmacy manual. 
The investigator must complete the CRFs and transmit the data as instructed by the sponsor (or designee) 
and must store a copy of the source documents with other study documents, eg, the protocol, the 
investigators' brochure, and any protocol amendments, in a secure place. All entries to the CRFs must be 
made as described in the CRF Completion Guideline or as instructed by the sponsor (or designee) at study 
initiation. 
Patient data collected within the eCRFs during the study will be documented in an anonymous fashion and 
the patient will only be identified by the patient number, and by his/her birth date if also required. If, as an

exception, it is necessary for safety or regulatory reasons to identify the patient, both the sponsor (or 
designee) and the investigator are bound to keep this information confidential. 
The investigator must maintain source documents for each patient in the study, consisting of all 
demographic and medical information, including laboratory data, ECG tests, etc., and keep a copy of the 
signed ICF. All information on CRFs must be traceable to these source documents kept in the patient's file. 
7.8.3 
Direct Access to Source Data 
The investigator must give the monitor access to relevant hospital or clinical records to confirm their 
consistency with the CRF entries. No information in these records about the identity of the patients will 
leave the study site. Sponsor monitoring standards require full verification for the presence of informed 
consent, adherence to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, documentation of SAEs, and the recording of 
primary efficacy and safety variables. Additional checks of the consistency of the source data with the 
CRFs are performed according to the study-specific monitoring plan. 
The FDA or other regulatory authority, the IRB/IEC/REB, and/or the sponsor's Clinical Quality Assurance 
Group (or designate) may wish to perform source data checks and/or on-site audit inspections. Investigators 
and their institutions will provide direct access to source data and documents to these authorities. The 
investigator assures the sponsor of the necessary support at all times. 
7.8.4 
Archiving Study Records 
Essential documents, as listed below, must be retained by the investigator for as long as needed to comply 
with national and international regulations (generally 2 years after discontinuing clinical development or 
after the last marketing approval). Motif Biosciences will notify the investigator(s)/institution(s) when the 
study-related records are no longer required. The investigator agrees to adhere to the document retention 
procedures by signing the protocol. Essential documents include: 
1. IRB/IEC/REB approvals for the study protocol and all amendments; 
2. All source documents and laboratory records; 
3. eCRF copies; 
4. Patients' ICFs (with study number and title of study); 
5. FDA Form 1572 (as required); and 
6. Any other pertinent study document. 
7.9 
Statistical Methods 
The primary efficacy endpoint will be the proportion of patients who achieve an early clinical response 
(defined as reduction in the lesion size ≥20% compared to baseline) at 48 to 72 hours (ETP) and will be 
evaluated among all randomized patients (ITT population). 
In general, statistical tests will be two-sided, and at the level of significance alpha = 0.05. The NI 
assessment will be made with a one-sided test at significance level of 0.025. Confidence intervals will be 
calculated at a 95% confidence level. 
Continuous data will be summarized by treatment group using the number of patients in the analysis 
population (N), mean, standard deviation (SD), median and range and categorical data will be summarized 
by treatment group using N and percentage.

Determination of Sample Size  
Using Farrington and Manning’s method for non-inferiority (NI) testing with a 1 sided alpha of 0.025, 
assuming a 75% early clinical response rate in each group and a 10% non-inferiority bound delta, a sample 
size of 295 ITT patients per treatment group is required for 80% power. In addition, using similar methods 
of NI testing with a 1-sided alpha of 0.025, assuming a 90% early clinical response rate at TOC in each 
group and a 10% NI bound delta, a sample size of 300 patients in the ITT population per treatment group is 
required for 82% power. If the initial endpoint of clinical response at ETP does not achieve statistical 
significance, no further statistical testing will be done. 
A total of 600 patients will be randomized (approximately 300 per treatment group will be randomized). 
7.9.2 
Patient Populations Analyzed 
Intent-to-treat (ITT) population — All randomized patients (primary population for efficacy analyses). 
Patients will be analyzed in treatment group to which they were randomized. 
 
Microbiological intent-to-treat (mITT) population — All randomized patients who have a Gram-positive 
baseline bacterial pathogen identified as the cause of ABSSSI. 
 
Modified clinically evaluable (mCE) population consists of all patients excluded from the PP population 
only because they have received prohibited concomitant or preceding antibiotic therapy active against 
Gram-positive pathogens. 
 
PP population — ITT patients who receive at least 80% of their planned doses and provide adequate data 
for assessment for each of the following timepoints: ETP, EOT, and TOC. This excludes patients with 
Gram-negative bloodstream infections who were discontinued in order to treat the Gram-negative 
pathogen. 
 
PP microbiologically evaluable population (mPP) — mITT patients who receive at least 80% of their 
planned doses and provide adequate data for assessment for each of the following timepoints: ETP, EOT, 
and TOC. 
 
Safety population — All patients who receive any study drug during the trial (primary population for safety 
analyses). Patients will be analyzed according to the treatment they received. 
7.9.3 
Efficacy Analysis 
7.9.3.1 
Primary Efficacy Outcome Measures 
The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of randomized patients who achieve an early clinical 
response (defined as reduction in the lesion size ≥20% compared to baseline) at 48 to 72 hours (ETP) and 
will be evaluated among all randomized patients (ITT population). The primary efficacy analysis will be 
the NI of iclaprim (group 1) to vancomycin (group 2) for the proportion of patients with a ≥20% reduction 
in lesion size at ETP compared to baseline. Let P1 be the proportion for iclaprim and P2 be the proportion 
for vancomycin. Equivalently, if the lower bound of the two-sided 95% CI for P1 – P2 is greater than -
0.100 based on the Z test with unpooled variance estimate, NI will be concluded. 
 
7.9.3.2 
Secondary Efficacy Outcome Measures 
The primary NI efficacy analysis will be repeated in the mITT, mCE, the Per Protocol, and the mPP 
populations as secondary outcomes.

The secondary endpoints are: 
1. Resolution or near resolution of ABSSSI (ie, clinical cure, defined by a >90% reduction in lesion 
size from the size at baseline, no increase in lesion size since ETP, and no requirement for 
additional antibiotics [except aztreonam and metronidazole] or unplanned significant surgical 
procedures after ETP other than bedside wound care) at TOC for iclaprim (80 mg q12h) compared

Safety Analysis 
All patients who received any amount of iclaprim or vancomycin during the trial will be evaluated for 
safety.  
Safety evaluation include incidence of TEAEs, laboratory test results (including liver function tests), vital 
signs, ECG results, and physical examination findings. All summaries of safety data will be based on the 
safety population (all treated patients). No formal statistical analysis of the safety data will be performed. 
Summary tables will be provided for all AEs by treatment group. The incidence of AEs, related AEs, SAEs, 
and AEs leading to discontinuation of the study treatment will be presented by Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities system organ class (SOC) and preferred term. In addition, the incidence of AEs by 
severity will be presented by SOC and preferred term.  
The AE summary tables will include counts of patients. Therefore, if a patient experiences more than one 
episode of a particular AE, the patient will be counted only once for that event. If a patient has more than 
one AE that is coded to the same preferred term, the patient will be counted only once for that preferred 
term. Similarly, if a patient has more than one AE within a SOC, the patient will be counted only once in 
that SOC. 
Laboratory test variables will be summarized by treatment group and visit using descriptive statistics 
(number of patients, mean, SD, minimum, maximum, as well as mean change from baseline, SD for mean 
and standard error for mean change, minimum, median, maximum, and number and percent of patients 
within specified categories). Shift tables (ie, cross-tabulations of below the lower limit of the normal range, 
within the limits of the normal range and above the upper limit of the normal range at baseline versus 
scheduled visits) will be presented by laboratory test. Laboratory tests with categorical results that cannot 
be analyzed by change from baseline or shift table analysis will not be included in these summaries, but 
will be listed. Data obtained from laboratory tests not required by the protocol will not be summarized, but 
will be listed.  
Descriptive statistics of vital signs and ECG results at each visit will be presented by treatment group. 
Physical examination findings will be listed for each patient.

Population Pharmacokinetics 
Iclaprim plasma concentrations will be used to determine population PK parameters, including Cmax, AUC 
to infinity (AUC0-∞), clearance, and volume of distribution. Interindividual variability (IIV) will be 
determined for PK parameters, as well as residual variability. The potential influence of clinical 
characteristics (age, size, sex, hepatic function, renal function, concomitant medications, etc.) on PK 
parameters will be evaluated. Further details will be detailed in a separate population PK analysis plan. 
7.9.6 
Interim Analysis 
When 75% of the randomized patients have undergone the 48- to 72-hour (ETP) response assessment, the 
sponsor will do a blinded interim analysis to estimate the percentage of patients in the study who classify as 
having a reduction in the lesion size ≥20% compared to baseline at the 48- to 72-hour visit. Based on the 
observed overall percentage, the sponsor may increase the total sample size to attempt to ensure that an 
adequate number of ITT patients are included in the study. Since the review is blinded and the efficacy 
analyses will not be reviewed by treatment group, no adjustment of p-values is required. Nevertheless, the 
sponsor will take steps to minimize the distribution of results to avoid introducing any bias.

RISKS AND BENEFITS 
The combined data set from the Phase 3 studies indicated that iclaprim has similar efficacy in the treatment 
of patients with cSSSI when compared with linezolid. Both iclaprim and linezolid were associated with 
high clinical cure and bacteriological response rates. 
Iclaprim was well tolerated. Results from the Phase 3 clinical studies indicated that administration of 
iclaprim led to a mean increase of the QTc interval of about 5 to 6 msec more than linezolid, whereas the 
latter is considered as having no QTc prolonging effect. 
The Phase 2 study indicated that iclaprim has similar efficacy in the treatment of patients with cSSSI when 
compared with vancomycin. The two iclaprim (0.8 and 1.6 mg base per kg body weight) and vancomycin 
study arms were associated with high clinical cure and bacteriological response rates. 
Both doses of iclaprim were well tolerated; however, AEs and shifts from normal baseline in laboratory 
parameters were recorded somewhat more frequently in the iclaprim 1.6 mg/kg group. 
Phase 1 studies to examine the effect of iclaprim on QTc interval have indicated that doses up to 1.6 mg/kg 
b.i.d. are considered safe for clinical use. 
Iclaprim has the potential to be a new antibacterial agent active against Gram-positive drug-resistant 
strains, with a good safety profile, and therefore should be further studied in larger patient populations.

Procedures:  
In these clinical photographs, for the duration of the study, the only variable allowed to change is the skin 
condition itself. Therefore, anything extraneous to the condition (clothing, jewelry, bandages, etc.) is to be 
eliminated from the photographic field from the entry visit through the final visit. The necessity of good 
photos (taken at baseline, ETP, EOT, and TOC) should be stressed to the patients to ensure their 
cooperation. Lighting, framing, exposure and reproduction ratios must be held constant. In the end, the 
pictures should read like a time-lapse movie. 
1. The supplied equipment is to be used exclusively for this study. No modification, adjustments, or 
repairs of the camera equipment is to be undertaken without the expressed instruction of Canfield 
Scientific, Inc. 
2. The supplied standardized background material is to be used. Folded or wrinkled material is not 
allowed. 
3. Magnification: the ranging lights on the macro ring flash are set to predefined distance to ensure 
consistency of reproduction ratio. Once the two lights converge as one, the target image is at the 
correct distance. If there is any doubt as to the correctness of photographic technique, a re-shoot is 
encouraged at that time.

APPENDIX C – TRACING & PLANIMETRY PROCEDURES 
 
The following procedures are to be followed to ensure accurate area measurements are achieved at each 
visit during the study. 
 
Standard Supplies 
 
Tracing Media:  
Sterilized double layer clear plastic acetate tracing film with cardboard backer 
Tracing Pens: 
   
Itoya FinePoint, permanent ink, 0.5mm 
Tracing Envelope: 
Preprinted protective envelope for shipping 
 
1. Tracings of ABSSSI site are conducted at: baseline, ETP, EOT, and TOC. 
2. All required patient demographic information is to be recorded on tracing film header. Both films 
are to be peeled away from the cardboard backer and placed face-up over the patient’s infection 
site. Tracing of the infection site is to be accomplished with the supplied Itoya tracing pen using a 
continuous stroke. 
3. The traced edge must be dark and continuous with no broken ink line. 
4. The following ABSSSI demarcations are made: 
a. 
Erythema (red pen) 
b. Induration (green pen) 
c. 
Wound (black pen), if necessary 
5. The top film is to be peeled from the bottom film and placed back onto the cardboard backer. The 
bottom film that came into contact with the infection site is to be discarded as biomedical waste at 
the study site. 
6. The top film containing the actual tracing and header information is to be attached to the “waxy” 
side of the cardboard backer.  
7. The tracing is scanned on a supplied flatbed scanner and the scan uploaded to Canfield’s secure 
website for instant image analysis.  
8. The Canfield planimetry application automatically detects the outlines of each of the colored 
demarcations contained on the tracing, and measures each demarcation for area (cm2).  
9. A QC technician performs quality control of the detection and data generated.

APPENDIX D – VANCOMYCIN DOSING NOMOGRAM 
Both iclaprim and vancomycin will be diluted in 500 mL of normal saline and infused over 2 hours. Dosing 
interval for iclaprim will be q12h. Dosing interval for vancomycin will be every q12h, q24h, q48h, or dosed 
by daily level based on creatinine clearance. Patients randomized to vancomycin who require dosing 
intervals of q24h, q48h, or dosed by daily level due to renal impairment will receive dummy infusions 
(normal saline) at 12 hour intervals when they are not to receive vancomycin.
