Study Summary

This is a phase III, randomized, multicenter, open-label study which will be performed to evaluate efficacy and safety of oral Gepotidacin compared to intramuscular (IM) ceftriaxone plus oral azithromycin for the treatment of uncomplicated urogenital infection caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae (N. gonorrhoeae) in adolescent and adult participants. In this study, participants will be randomly assigned to receive either oral gepotidacin or IM ceftriaxone plus oral azithromycin.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Participants must be >=12 years of age at the time of signing the informed consent.

  • Participant in the judgment of the investigator, would not be able or willing tocomply with the protocol or complete study follow-up.

  • Participant has a serious underlying disease that could be imminently lifethreatening, or the participant is unlikely to survive for the duration of the studyperiod.

  • The participant is taking QT-prolonging drugs or drugs known to increase the risk oftorsades de pointes (TdP) per the www.crediblemeds.org "Known Risk of TdP" categoryat the time of his or her Baseline Visit, which cannot be safely discontinued fromthe Baseline Visit to the TOC Visit; or the participant is taking a strongcytochrome P450 enzyme 3A4 (CYP3A4) inhibitor or a strong P-glycoprotein (P-gp)inhibitor.

  • For any participant >=12 to <18 years, the participant has an abnormalelectrocardiogram (ECG) reading.

  • The participant has a QTc >450 millisecond (msec) or a QTc >480 msec forparticipants with bundle-branch block.

  • Participant has participated in a clinical trial and has received an investigationalproduct within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer.

  • Participant has any of the following gonococcal infections that require a differentdose or duration of treatment: suspected or confirmed pelvic inflammatory disease;or suspected or confirmed gonococcal arthritis; or suspected or confirmed gonococcalconjunctivitis; or suspected or confirmed gonococcal endocarditis; or other evidenceof disseminated gonococcal infection.

  • Participant has received any antibacterial therapy for the treatment of a gonococcalinfection within 14 days before the Baseline Visit.
