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

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryNumber of Patients Achieving Necrotizing Infections Clinical Composite Endpoint (NICCE)28 days
NICCE was made up of the following 5 components, all of which had to be met to successfully achieve the primary outcome measure (i.e., a "responder"): (i) Alive at Day 28, (ii) ≤ 3 debridements through Day 14, (iii) No amputation performed after the first debridement, (iv) Day 14 modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) score ≤ 1, and (v) Reduction of ≥ 3 mSOFA score points between Baseline and Day 14. This analysis compared responders in the reltecimod group versus responders in the placebo group. Modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) total scores range from 0 to 20, with higher scores reflecting a worse clinical status or outcome. An mSOFA total score of 0 or 1 reflects resolution of organ dysfunction/failure.
SecondaryNumber of Patients With One or More Adverse Events (AEs)28 daysNumber of Patients With One or More Adverse Events (AEs). Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) are included in this outcome measure since SAEs are a subset of AEs.
SecondaryNumber of Patients With One or More Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)28 daysNumber of Patients with One or More Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) During the Study
SecondaryNumber of Patients With One or More Secondary Infections28 daysNumber of Patients with One or More Secondary Infections During the Study
SecondaryNumber of Patients Achieving Day 14 Modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) Score of 0 or 114 days
Modified Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (mSOFA) total scores range from 0 to 20, with higher scores reflecting a worse clinical status or outcome. An mSOFA total score of 0 or 1 reflects resolution of organ dysfunction/failure.
SecondaryIntensive Care Unit (ICU)-Free Days28 daysICU-free days refers to the number of days a patient did not spend time in the ICU through Day 28.
SecondaryVentilator-free Days28 daysVentilator-free days refers to the number of days a patient was not on a ventilator through Day 28.
SecondaryVasopressor-free Days28 daysVasopressor-free days refers to the number of days a patient did not receive a vasopressor through Day 28.
SecondaryHospital Days90 days or until end of follow upHospital days refers to the number of days a patient spent time in the hospital.
SecondaryNumber of Patients With a More Favorable or Less Favorable Hospital Discharge Location90 daysNumber of patients with more favorable discharge location (home or rehabilitation facility) or less favorable discharge location (skilled nursing facility, another acute care facility, death, other)

The primary analysis population (modified intent-to-treat \[mITT\]) included all randomized patients who were exposed to study drug and who had a definitive diagnosis of NSTI based on surgical verification.~A secondary analysis of the primary outcome measure utilized the United States-modified intent-to-treat (US-mITT) analysis population which consisted only of mITT patients enrolled in the United States.
