Participant Flow

Infants less than 24 months of age were recruited from among those admitted to the NICU or ICU at one of the participating centers found to have a surveillance nasal swab culture positive for SA. Recruitment was performed sequentially as infants became eligible without regards for race, ethnicity, gestational age or gender.

Infants were screened for nasal SA colonization (MRSA or MSSA) and only those who were colonized (not infected) were offered enrollment.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 1 through 7

Population: The analysis population was comprised of all infants, categorized according to treatment group. The number of infants is different from the overall study participant counts as 2 participants randomized to the mupirocin group received no mupirocin. For the purpose of safety analysis, these were included in the control (no mupirocin) group.

Participants were evaluated for solicited adverse events while in the NICU/ICU on days 1-7. Participants were counted if they experienced the symptom at any severity during the reporting period. Although participants received only 5 days of mupirocin, solicited events were collected through day 7.

Population: The analysis population was comprised of all infants, categorized according to treatment group. The number of infants is different from the overall study participant counts as 2 participants randomized to the mupirocin group received no mupirocin. For the purpose of safety analysis, these were included in the control (no mupirocin) group.

Participants were evaluated for moderate and severe unsolicited adverse events (that were not otherwise considered pre-defined trial endpoints) while in the NICU/ICU on days 1-7. Although participants received 5 days of mupirocin, unsolicited events were collected until day 7. Moderate events were defined as those that may cause some interference with functioning and daily activities. Severe events were defined as those that interrupt the participant's usual daily activities and may require systemic drug therapy or other treatment. Severe events were usually incapacitating.

The number of infants is different from the overall study participant counts as 2 participants randomized to the mupirocin group received no mupirocin. For the purpose of safety analysis, these were included in the control (no mupirocin) group.

Participants were evaluated for Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) while in the NICU/ICU on days 1-7. Although participants received only 5 days of mupirocin, SAEs were collected through day 7. An adverse event or suspected adverse reaction was considered serious if, in the view of either the investigator or sponsor, it resulted in any of the following outcomes: death; a life-threatening adverse event (an event that places the participant at immediate risk of death; it doesn't include an adverse event, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have caused death); inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization; a persistent or significant incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to conduct normal life functions; or any other event that when based upon appropriate medical judgement may have jeopardized the participant and may have required medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the outcomes listed in this definition.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 8

Population: The analysis population included all infants with a site-specific pre-randomization NUP culture that was positive for SA by direct culture and who either had a complete set of NUP cultures collected on Day 8 or else had discontinued NUP cultures prior to day 8 due to a clinical SA infection.

Colonization was defined as the presence of SA identified by NUP culture without signs of illness or infection. On day 8, participants were swabbed in each of three areas: nasal, umbilical, and perianal. These swabs were cultured by direct plating. If SA did not grow on any of these cultures the infant was considered to be decolonized. If SA grew on any one of these cultures the infant was considered to be colonized with SA.

Timeframe: Day 8 and Day 22

Population: The analysis population included all infants with a site-specific pre-randomization NUP culture that was positive for SA by direct culture and who had either had complete sets of NUP cultures collected on day 8 and day 22 or else had discontinued NUP cultures prior to day 22 due to a clinical SA infection.

Participants were admitted into the study based on being colonized with SA. Participants who were decolonized both on day 8 and day 22, as determined by NUP cultures were considered to have persistent decolonization. Colonization was defined as the presence of SA identified by NUP culture without signs of illness or infection. NUP swabs were collected on day 8 and on day 22 and cultured by direct plating. If the cultures were negative for SA at both day 8 and day 22 the participant was considered to have persistent decolonization. Colonization with SA was a prerequisite for enrollment, because of this there was no baseline measure.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 through 85

Population: The ITT cohort included all randomized infants. The analyses on the ITT cohort were performed per randomized treatment assignment.

Relative risk of occurrence of non-SA clinical infection in the treatment compared to the control group using the intent to treat (ITT) cohort for analysis. The time periods in the table correspond to the study days having scheduled collection of nasal, umbilical, and perianal (NUP) cultures. At risk participants were eligible for the non-SA clinical infection to occur at the start of the interval, were still on study and had not yet had a non-SA clinical infection but were still being watched for the event. Non-SA clinical infection was the development of a non-SA clinical infection due to an identifiable organism as evidenced by culture of an organism other than SA from a normally sterile body site or an infant who met the clinical diagnosis of localized infection as defined in the protocol. Censored participants were at risk for some of the interval, did not have a non-SA clinical infection but were removed from eligibility for the event at some point after the interval started.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 through 85

Population: The ATP cohort includes all infants with a site-specific pre-randomization NUP culture that is positive for SA by direct culture, those in the mupirocin treatment group must have received a minimum of 10 complete mupirocin treatments, including at least one dose to all three NUP sites per day for five consecutive days during the treatment period.

Relative risk of occurrence of non-SA clinical infection in the treatment compared to control groups using the according to protocol (ATP) cohort. The time periods in the table correspond to the study days having scheduled collection of nasal, umbilical, and perianal (NUP) cultures. At risk participants were eligible for the non-SA clinical infection to occur at the start of the interval, were still on study and had not yet had a non-SA clinical infection but were still being watched for the event. Non-SA clinical infection was the development of a non-SA clinical infection due to an identifiable organism as evidenced by culture of an organism other than SA from a normally sterile body site or an infant who met the clinical diagnosis of localized infection as defined in the protocol. Censored participants were at risk for some of the interval, did not have a non-SA clinical infection but were removed from eligibility for the event at some point after the interval started.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 through 22

Population: The ITT cohort included all randomized infants. The analyses on the ITT cohort were performed per randomized treatment assignment.

Protective efficacy of clinical SA infection in the treatment compared to the control group during days 1-22 or until discharge, whichever occurs first using the intent to treat (ITT) cohort. The time periods in the table correspond to the study days having scheduled collection of nasal, umbilical, and perianal (NUP) cultures. At risk participants were eligible for the SA clinical infection to occur at the start of the interval, were still on study and had not yet had a SA clinical infection but were still being watched for the event. SA clinical infection was the development of a SA clinical infection due to an identifiable organism as evidenced by culture of an organism from a normally sterile body site or an infant who met the clinical diagnosis of localized infection as defined in the protocol. Censored participants were at risk for some of the interval, did not have a SA clinical infection but were removed from eligibility for the event at some point after the interval started.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Day 1 through 85

Population: The mITT cohort includes all infants with a site-specific pre-randomization NUP culture that was positive for SA by direct culture. The mITT-8 cohort includes all mITT infants who either had a complete set of NUP cultures collected on day 8 or else had discontinuation of NUP cultures prior to Day 8 due to a clinical SA infection.

Time until decolonization: Count of participants from Day 1 until the first NUP collection with no SA is detected in the nares, umbilical, and perianal areas using the modified intent to treat (mITT-8) cohort. The time periods in the table correspond to the study days having collection of nasal, umbilical, and perianal (NUP) cultures. At risk participants were eligible for the SA decolonization to occur at the start of the interval, were still on study and had not yet had SA decolonization but were still being watched for the event. SA decolonization was the absence of SA detected from the NUP cultures through direct plating. Censored participants were at risk for some of the interval, did not have SA decolonization but were removed from eligibility for the event at some point after the interval started.
