Brief Summary:
This study will evaluate the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of tedizolid phosphate (MK-1986) compared with comparator antibacterial agent in participants from birth to less than 12 years of age with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI).

Condition or disease Intervention/treatment Phase
Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections Drug: Tedizolid phosphate Drug: Comparator Phase 3

Detailed Description:
Participants will be randomized (3:1) to receive tedizolid phosphate at a weight-based dose ≤200 mg/day, intravenous (IV) and/or oral suspension for 6 to 10 days, or comparator IV and/or oral per local standard of care for 10 to 14 days. The switch from IV to oral administration can be made at any time based on 1) no worsening of the primary skin lesion, 2) last temperature <37.7 °C, and 3) primary acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) site has not worsened and at least 1 site has improved from Baseline. The potential 4-day treatment extension will be based on clinical need as judged by the investigator, considering the following criteria: 1) ≥40% reduction in primary lesion size, 2) reduction in pain, and 3) no new signs and symptoms and no complications attributable to ABSSSI compared with Baseline.

Primary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants with ≥1 adverse events (AEs) [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]
    An AE is any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an adverse event. The percentage of participants with one or more AEs will be reported.

  2. Percentage of participants discontinuing from study therapy due to AEs [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]
    An AE is any unfavourable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product or protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition that is temporally associated with the use of the Sponsor's product, is also an AE. The percentage of participants discontinued from the study due to an AE will be reported.

  3. Percentage of participants with hematopoietic cytopenias [ Time Frame: Up to Day 35 ]
    A standardized MedDRA query for hematopoietic cytopenia will be conducted. The percentage of participants with a hematopoietic cytopenia will be reported.


Secondary Outcome Measures :
  1. Percentage of participants with clinical success [ Time Frame: Day 25 ]
    The investigator's assessment of clinical response will be conducted at the Test of Cure (TOC) visit, approximately 25 days after the first infusion. Clinical success is defined as 1) resolution or near-resolution of most signs and symptoms, 2) absence or near-resolution of signs of infection, and 3) no new signs, symptoms, or complications attributable to the infections (no further antibiotic therapy required for the primary lesion). The percentage of participants with clinical success will be reported.
