Detailed Description
This open-label Phase 2 study is designed as a proof-of-concept study to evaluate the efficacy of a total daily dose of 400 mg of AFN-12520000 using a number of newly defined early endpoints, conventional endpoints, and composite endpoints to determine clinical response. Safety and tolerability will also be evaluated by conventional endpoints.
The study will enroll up to 100 patients with a clinically documented diagnosis of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) due to staphylococci. Patients meeting eligibility criteria will be identified and evaluated in a hospital or specialized clinic. After consent is obtained, the first dose of study medication will be administered. Daily clinical assessments will be conducted at the hospital and/or outpatient clinic during the first 5 days of treatment. Adverse events (AEs) and response to therapy will also be assessed.
The study will consist of a screening period, which includes the baseline visit; a treatment period, and an end-of-treatment (EOT) visit; and a follow-up period, which includes a short-term (Test-of-Cure [TOC]) follow-up (STFU/TOC) visit and a long-term follow-up (LTFU) visit.
Treatment regimens as short as 5 days (10 doses) and as long as 14 days (28 doses) will be permitted depending on individual response to treatment. The anticipated time commitment for patient participation in the study will be approximately 20 to 42 days from screening/baseline to the LTFU visit. The total duration of the study will be < 12 months.

- Have a primary infected lesion with at least three of the following: Significant pain or tenderness to palpation; Purulent or seropurulent drainage or discharge; Erythema; Fluctuance; Induration; Edema; Heat or localized warmth;
- Have at least two of the following signs and symptoms of systemic inflammation or complicating factors: Documented or reported fever >38.0°C; WBC count of >10,000 cells/mm3; Greater than 15% immature neutrophils irrespective of total WBC; Elevated CRP or ESR; or Local/regional lymphadenopathy;
- Have a Gram stain with Gram-positive cocci in clusters or PCR result indicating an infection with Staphylococci.
- Have clearly failed as defined in the protocol previous treatment after a minimum of 48 hours
- Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test at screening before enrollment
- Male and Female patients must utilize a highly effective method of contraception
- In the judgment of the Investigator have an expectation of survival and prompt improvement with effective oral antibiotic therapy and appropriate supportive care for the anticipated duration of the study
- Willing and able to comply with all the study activities and procedures in the hospital or clinic.
Exclusion Criteria:
Have any one of the following conditions:

- Necrotizing fasciitis, rapidly necrotizing infections, or gangrenous processes;
- Infected burn involving >20% of the total body surface area;
- Infected bite from human or animal origin.
- Erysipelas or a primary infection suspected or documented to be due to streptococci or infection with a Gram-negative pathogen without evidence of a concomitant staphylococcal infection
- Evidence of either a Gram-negative or Gram-positive pathogen not susceptible to treatment with protocol-specified antibiotics and AFN-12520000; or
- An existing abscess that cannot be drained within 48 hours of initiation of treatment;
- Unable to tolerate an oral formulation of antibiotic, have an underlying gastrointestinal disease (would be poorly absorbed or tolerated), have a medical condition or post-operative condition leading to significant gastrointestinal malabsorption, and/or are unable to tolerate a normal diet;
