Limitations and caveats
FDA reviewer noted that there were multiple endpoints that required multiplicity adjustments to control for the overall type I error rate.Based on feedback the 72 hour endpoint was selected for Part 2 as the primary efficacy endpoint.

Registered outcomes3

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryChange in Mean Number of Skin Bacterial Counts From Baseline to 72 HoursPrior to first application (0 hours) to 72 hours post application
Change in the mean number of skin bacterial counts (CFU/cm2) which was calculated by subtracting log10 CFU/cm2 at 72 hours (single sample per subject per timepoint) from the log10 CFU/cm2 at 0 hours (baseline) in Part 2.Baseline was calculated by 'pooling' samples from 6 sites adjacent to each timepoint.
PrimaryChange in Mean Number of Skin Bacterial Counts From Baseline to 7 DaysPrior to first application (0 hours) to 7 days post application.
Change in the mean number of skin bacterial counts (log 10 CFU/cm2)which was calculated by subtracting log10 CFU/cm2 at 7 days (one sample per site per subject per timepoint) from log10CFU/cm2 at 0 hours in Part 2.Baseline was calculated by 'pooling' samples from 6 sites adjacent to each timepoint.
PrimaryNumber of Subjects With Significantly Colonized Catheters, Defined as > or = to 15 Colony Forming Units- CFUs)Each sampling point and the rate of catheter colonization for each treatment 72 hours to 7 days.Roll plate cultures (quantitative) measured CFU on catheter tips after removal up to 7 days after insertion.
