Brief Summary
-----------------
This study will determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of GSK1322322 verses Linezolid in subjects with Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection (ABSSSI).

Detailed Description
-----------------
This is a phase IIa, multicenter, randomized, parallel group, double-blind, double dummy study to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of GSK1322322 when given as 1500mg twice daily over a 10-day period versus linezolid (600mg twice daily for 10 days) in adults with suspected Gram positive Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection who are not currently receiving antibacterial therapy. Subjects will be randomized (2:1) to GSK1322322 or linezolid. This study consists of a screening visit, a 10-day treatment period, and follow-up evaluations 7 and 28 days following the last dose.

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Participants With Clinical Success of Clinical Response | The clinical response was evaluated by the investigator at end of therapy (within 3 days post therapy; Day 12-14) and Follow-up (7 day Follow-up; Day 16 to 19 and 28 day Follow-up; Day 37 to 40). Clinical response was determined after clinical evaluation of reviewing clinical signs and symptoms. Clinical success was defined as total resolution of all signs and symptoms of infection recorded at Baseline, or improvement to such an extent that no further antimicrobial therapy was necessary, including a pus/exudate skin infection score (SIS) of 0. | Up to Follow-up (28 Day Follow-up, Day 40) | 
| Percentage of Participants With Clinical Success of Clinical Outcome | The clinical response was determined by the investigator after clinical evaluation of reviewing clinical signs and symptoms at end of therapy (within 3 days post therapy; visit window of Day 12-14) and 7 day Follow-up ( visit window of Day 16 to 19), and the resulting clinical outcome was assigned, for each participant. Clinical success was defined as total resolution of all signs and symptoms of infection recorded at Baseline, or improvement to such an extent that no further antimicrobial therapy was necessary, including a pus/exudates SIS of 0. | Day 11 (end of therapy) and Follow-up (7 Day Follow-up, Day 19) | 
| Percentage of Participants With Microbiological Success of Microbiological Outcome at End of Therapy | The 'by pathogen' microbiological response was determined by comparing the Baseline (Day 1) culture results to the culture results at the end of therapy (visit window of Day 12-14), and the corresponding microbiological outcome (success or failure) by participant was then assigned. Microbiological success was defined as: elimination of Baseline pathogens (defined as microbiological eradication in microbiological response); clinical outcome was success such that no culture was obtained due to lack of culturable material, secondary to adequate clinical response, and was documented in the electronic case report form (eCRF) (defined as presumed microbiological eradication in microbiological response); new pathogen not previously identified, was identified at end of therapy in a participant who was a 'clinical success' (defined as colonization in microbiological response). | Day 11 (end of therapy) | 
| Percentage of Participants With Microbiological Success of Microbiological Outcome at Follow-up | The 'by pathogen' microbiological response was determined by comparing the Baseline (Day 1) culture results to culture results at Follow-up (Day 16-19), and corresponding microbiological outcome (success or failure) by participant was then assigned. Microbiological success was defined as: Baseline pathogen was eradicated or presumed eradicated at end of therapy, or Baseline pathogens were present at end of therapy and is absent at Follow-up (microbiological eradication in microbiological response); Baseline pathogen was eradicated or presumed eradicated at end of therapy, or the Baseline pathogens were present at end of therapy and, participant was a 'clinical success', such that no culture was obtained due to lack of culturable material, secondary to adequate clinical response, and was documented in the eCRF (microbiological eradication); a new pathogen, not previously identified at Baseline, was identified at Follow-up in a participant who was a 'clinical success' (colonization) | Follow-up (7 Day Follow-up, Day 19) | 
| Percentage of Participants With Therapeutic Success of Therapeutic Outcome | Therapeutic outcome was combined clinical and microbiological outcome. Therapeutic outcome was a measure of the overall efficacy response, and a therapeutic success referred to participants who had been deemed both a 'clinical success' and a 'microbiological success'. All other combinations (other than 'clinical success' + 'microbiological success') were deemed failures for therapeutic outcome. Therapeutic outcome was determined programmatically, obtained at 7 day Follow-up. | Follow-up (7 day Follow-up, Day 19) |

Sub-score of continuous pain represents mean of throbbing pain, cramping pain, gnawing pain, aching pain, heavy pain and tender (mean of items 1, 5, 6, 8, 9 and 10). Sub-score of intermittent pain represents mean of shooting pain, stabbing pain, sharp pain, splitting pain, electric-shock pain and piercing (mean of items 2, 3, 4, 11, 16 and 18). Sub-score of neuropathic pain represents mean of hot-burning pain, cold-freezing pain, pain caused by light touch, itching, tingling or pins and needles, numbness (mean of items 7, 17, 19, 20, 21 and 22). Sub-score of affective descriptors represents mean of tiring-exhaustive, sickening, fearful, punishing-cruel (mean of items 12, 13, 14 and 15).

| Mean Exudate or Pus Sub-score of SIS at Indicated Time Points | The SIS consist of 7 items of exudate or pus, crusting, erythema or inflammation, tissue warmth, tissue edema, itching and pain. The exudate or pus sub-score of SIS was rated on a 7-point scale ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 indicated absence of symptom and 6 indicated severe symptom. Assessments were done at Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 8, Day 11, 7 Day Follow-up and 28 Day Follow-up. | Up to Follow-up (28 Day Follow-up, Day 40) | 
| Mean Total SIS at Indicated Time Points | The investigator evaluated the infection by grading the infected lesion according to SIS. The SIS consist of 7 items of exudate or pus, crusting, erythema or inflammation, tissue warmth, tissue edema, itching and pain. The items were rated on a 7-point scale ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 indicated absence of symptom and 6 indicated severe symptom. The total score ranged from 0 to 42, where 0 indicated absence of symptoms and higher score indicated more severe symptoms. Assessments were done at Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 8, Day 11, 7 Day Follow-up and 28 Day Follow-up. | Up to Follow-up (28 Day Follow-up, Day 40) | 
| Mean Change From Baseline in Total SIS at Indicated Time Points | The investigator evaluated the infection by grading the infected lesion according to SIS. The SIS consist of 7 items of exudate or pus, crusting, erythema or inflammation, tissue warmth, tissue edema, itching and pain. The items were rated on a 7-point scale ranging from 0 to 6, where 0 indicated absence of symptom and 6 indicated severe symptom. The total score ranged from 0 to 42, where 0 indicated absence of symptoms and higher score indicated more severe symptoms. Baseline was defined as the assessment value done on Day 1. The change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from the individual post-Baseline (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 8, Day 11, 7 Day Follow-up and 28 Day Follow-up) values. If either the Baseline or post-Baseline value was missing, the change from Baseline was set to missing as well. | Day 1 (Baseline ) up to Follow-up (28 Day Follow-up, Day 40) | 
| Mean Change From Baseline in Wound Area at Indicated Time Points | The area of the infected lesion size was calculated as the product between the length (L) and width (W) of the lesion size. The wound was measured by the investigator in centimeters (cm), using a standard metric ruler. Baseline was defined as the assessment value done on Day 1. The change from Baseline was calculated by subtracting the Baseline value from the individual post-Baseline (Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Day 8, Day 11, 7 Day Follow-up and 28 Day Follow-up) values. If either the Baseline or post-Baseline value was missing, the change from Baseline was set to missing as well. | Day 1 (Baseline) up to Follow-up (28 Day Follow-up, Day 40) | 
| Percentage of Participants With Clinical Success at End of Therapy by Pathogen Isolated at Baseline | Clinical success was defined as total resolution of all signs and symptoms of infection recorded at Baseline, or improvement to such an extent that no further antimicrobial therapy was necessary, including a pus/exudates SIS of 0.
