A Phase Ⅱ Clinical Study of 9MW1411 Injection in Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections

A Multicenter, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Phase II Clinical Study of the Efficacy and Safety of 9MW1411 Injection Combined With Antibiotics in Patients With Acute Staphylococcus Aureus Skin and Skin Structure Infection

In this study, a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial design is used to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of 9MW1411 injection in patients with ABSSSI caused by S. aureus.

The Recommended Phase 2 Dose (RP2D) of 9MW1411 injection for this placebo-controlled study is comprehensively selected based on the results of Phase I clinical trials and preclinical PK/PD analysis. Approximately 90 subjects with ABSSSI caused by S. aureus are planned to be enrolled, and the infection type and presence or absence of single S. aureus infection will be used as randomization stratification factors for all randomized subjects. They are randomized in a 1: 1: 1 ratio.

   1. Cellulitis: A diffuse skin infectious disease characterized by diffuse congestion (erythema), edema and/or induration within 7 days of the Screening Visit. The lesion area is at least 75 cm2, calculated as the longest diameter (along the head-to-foot of the human body) multiplied by the widest diameter (perpendicular to the longest diameter), which are measured by the investigator with a ruler.
   2. Wound infection: An infectious disease characterized by purulent drainage from a wound or surgical wound, periwound congestion (erythema), edema and/or induration within 7 days of the Screening Visit. The shortest diameter measured from the perimeter of the wound is at least 5 cm and the lesion area is at least 75 cm2, calculated as the longest diameter (along the head-to-foot of the human body) multiplied by the widest diameter (perpendicular to the longest diameter), which are measured by the investigator with a ruler.

The shortest diameter measured from the periphery of the burn infection is at least 5 cm and the lesion area is at least 75 cm2 (burn depth is Grade II or higher), calculated as the longest diameter (along the head-to-foot) multiplied by the widest diameter (perpendicular to the longest diameter), which are measured by the investigator with a ruler. Burns occur within 7 days prior to the Screening Visit and cover 10% to 50% of their total body surface area. Patients with burn infections do not exceed 20% of all subjects.
   5. Diabetic foot infection: The subject meets diagnostic criteria for type 1 or 2 diabetes and meets the Infectious Diseases Society of America/International Working Group on Diabetic Foot (IDSA/IWGDF) criteria for moderate infection of diabetic foot (Appendix 1): patients with infection have good systemic function and stable metabolism.

Patients with diabetic foot infection do not exceed 10% of all subjects.

3. Subjects must have at least two of the following signs/symptoms:
