Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

15 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT, CHILD)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Subject is a male or female 15 years of age or older.

  • Subject must have had 1 or more of the following occur:

    1. gonorrhea with the nucleic acid amplification test (NAAT) or culture within the previous 14 days
    2. unprotected genital contact within 14 days with a person confirmed to be infected with gonorrhea,
    3. gram-negative present in urogenital gram strain or male subject must present with purulent urethritis or a female subject with must present with mucopurulent cervical discharge
  • Subject agrees to avoid unprotected sexual contact in order to minimize the risk of gonorrhea reinfection
  • Subject must be in good health (ie, based on medical history), as determined by the investigator.
  • In the opinion of the investigator, the subject must be able and willing to comply with protocol requirements. The subject must agree to provide reliable, verifiable contact information and agree to return for the Test-of-Cure Visit.
  • If a subject's age is 15 years to less than the legal age of consent,a written, voluntarily signed assent must be obtained from the subject and a written, voluntarily signed informed consent must be signed by the subject's parent or legal guardian before the initiation of any study related procedures, unless the Institutional Review Board (IRB)/Independent Ethics Committee (IEC) determines that parent/legal guardian consent is not required.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Confirmed, or suspected, complicated or systemic gonococcal infection, such as pelvic inflammatory disease, arthritis, or endocarditis.
  • Subject has taken one of the following products within 6 hours of the Entry Visit that may interfere with the absorption of a quinolone antibiotic: magnesium/aluminum antacids; sucralfate; Videx® (didanosine) chewable/buffered tablets; other highly buffered drugs; or other products containing calcium, iron, or zinc.

  • Cytotoxic chemotherapy or radiation therapy during the previous 3 months.
  • Subject is co-infected with an additional sexually transmitted disease (STD) for which treatment cannot be safely deferred until after the Test-of-Cure Visit unless the treatment is not potentially effective against gonorrhea.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Subjects With Cure or Failure of Urogenital Gonorrhea at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Urogenital MITT (UMITT) Population
Time Frame: Day 7 (± 3 days)
Cure for the primary outcome measure was defined as the eradication of N. gonorrhoeae at TOC as determined by a negative culture obtained from the urogenital site, which was positive at study entry, and with no additional antibiotics with activity against N. gonorrhoeae being administered from study entry through TOC.
Day 7 (± 3 days)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Subjects With Cure or Failure of Urogenital Gonorrhea at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Urogenital Microbiologically Evaluable (UME) Population
Time Frame: Day 7 (± 3 days)
Cure for the seconday outcome measure was defined as the eradication of N. gonorrhoeae at TOC as determined by a negative culture obtained from the urogenital site, which was positive at study entry, and with no additional antibiotics with activity against N. gonorrhoeae being administered from study entry through TOC.
Day 7 (± 3 days)

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
