a

“Cure” includes cure and improvement outcomes.

b

Excludes missing or intermediate patients.

c

Difference in response rate between patients as determined by using the Mantel-Haenszel method, stratified by disease.

d

Two patients in the intent-to-treat population were unblinded prior to completion of the study. These two patients are therefore not included in any efficacy analyses. Both patients were in the 200-mg-daily-dosing group and were assessed as cured at TOC. Including these patients in the efficacy analyses does not change the statistical significance among the treatment groups.

e

After data analysis was complete, it was discovered that one patient randomized to the 1,200-mg-single-dose group actually received 200 mg/day for 6 days. A sensitivity analysis was performed by switching the patient from the single-dose group to the daily-dose group, and the statistical significance remained unchanged in the cellulitis disease category.
