- Incidence of Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (Safety and Tolerability) of multiple doses of intravenous AP-SA02 [ Time Frame: Day 1 first dose through Day 12 or through End of Study for serious AEs ]Incidence and severity of treatment-emergent adverse events as assessed by CTCAE v4.0
- Clinical Improvement or Response at Day 12 [ Time Frame: Day 12 ]Description of clinical outcome in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population. Clinical outcome of improvement or response is defined as survival with resolution of S. aureus-related clinical signs and symptoms as well as eradication of S. aureus bacteremia, and without new foci of infection or complications of S. aureus bacteremia
- Clinical Improvement or Response at 7 days after completion of antibiotic therapy [ Time Frame: 7 days post completion of best available antibiotic therapy ]Description of clinical outcome in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population. Clinical outcome of improvement or response is defined as survival with resolution of S. aureus-related clinical signs and symptoms as well as eradication of S. aureus bacteremia, and without new foci of infection or complications of S. aureus bacteremia
- Clinical Improvement or Response at End of Study [ Time Frame: 28 days post completion of best available antibiotic therapy ]Description of clinical outcome in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (mITT) Population. Clinical outcome of improvement or response is defined as survival with resolution of S. aureus-related clinical signs and symptoms as well as eradication of S. aureus bacteremia, and without new foci of infection or complications of S. aureus bacteremia
