Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Azithromycin
500 mg of Azithromycin (2 capsules of 250 mg) administered orally as a single dose on Day 1, followed by 250 mg capsule of Azithromycin administered orally once daily for 4 days (Day 2 through Day 5).
N=337
|
Azithromycin is an azalide antibiotic and is derived from erythromycin used to treat many different types of infections caused by bacteria, such as respiratory infections.
The VIDAS B.R.A.H.M.S PCT is an automated test for use on the VIDAS instruments for the determination of human procalcitonin in human serum or plasma using the Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) technique.
|
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
2 capsules of Azithromycin placebo administered orally as a single dose on Day 1, followed by 1 capsule of Azithromycin placebo administered orally once daily for 4 days (Day 2 through Day 5).
N=337
|
The VIDAS B.R.A.H.M.S PCT is an automated test for use on the VIDAS instruments for the determination of human procalcitonin in human serum or plasma using the Enzyme-Linked Fluorescent Assay (ELFA) technique.
Placebo will be a matching capsule the same size, weight, and color as the capsules containing Azithromycin tablets.

|
Clinical Improvement at Day 28 Visit (D28V)
Time Frame: Day 28 Visit
|
Clinical improvement at Day 28 Visit is defined as fulfilling all of the following criteria:
|
Day 28 Visit
|
Composite Overall Desirability of Outcome Ranking (DOOR) Assessed Employing a Superiority Analysis Using the "Response Adjusted for Days of Antibiotic Risk (RADAR)" Approach at Day 5 Visit
Time Frame: Day 5 Visit
|
DOOR is a composite endpoint created using clinical outcomes from Day 1 through Day 5 Visit. It is based on adequate clinical improvement at Day 5 Visit and solicited events from Day 1 through Day 5 Visit. When comparing two participants with different ordinal clinical outcomes (OCOs), the participant with a better OCO receives a higher DOOR rank. When comparing two participants with the same OCOs, the participant with fewer days of antibiotic use receives a higher DOOR rank. |
Day 5 Visit
|
Number of Participants Exhibiting Improvement in One or More LRTI Symptoms or Fever at Day 11 Visit
Time Frame: Day 11 Visit
|
Improvement in LRTI symptoms was defined as presence of at least one-step improvement in the symptom present at baseline.
For fever, improvement was defined as changing from presence of fever at baseline to absence of fever at Day 11 Visit.
