Dose-Ranging Study of GSK2140944 in the Treatment of Subjects With Suspected or Confirmed Gram-Positive Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
GSK2140944 belongs to a novel structural class of antibiotics - Bacterial Type II Topoisomerase Inhibitors (BTI). This is a Phase II, randomized, two-part, multicenter study designed to select the optimal dose by further characterizing the safety, tolerability and PK of GSK 2140944 and by evaluating efficacy in subjects requiring in-patient medical care to treat their suspected or confirmed Gram-positive acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI). The selected dose will be used in future studies.

Note: The QTc is the QT interval corrected for heart rate according to either Bazett's formula (QTcB), Fridericia's formula (QTcF), or another method, machine or manual overread. The QTc should be based on single or averaged QTc values of triplicate ECGs obtained over a brief recording period. It is essential that the same method for calculating QTc that was used at a subjects baseline visit be used for that subject for all subsequent visits. The subject has QRS duration <70 or >120 msec.

Secondary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Number of Participants With Clinical Response and Outcome at Early Efficacy Visit | The assessment was used to determine whether to continue the participant in the study.

Clinical failure was defined as death of participant; increase or insufficient decrease (i.e., <20%) in the area (as calculated by digital imaging) of the lesion or administration of non-trial antibacterial drug therapy for treatment of the lesion under study before the primary efficacy endpoint assessment. In addition when the participant refused to consent to clinical examination, the clinical outcome was assessed as unable to determine with subsequent response as failure. | Up to Day 3 | 
| Number of Participants With Clinical Response and Outcome at the Post Therapy Visit (Day 12-18) | The assessment was used to determine whether to continue the participant in the study.
