A Prospective, Randomized, Open-label, Active-controlled, Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of BAY 1192631 in Japanese Patients With MRSA Infections (Skin and Soft Tissue Infection [SSTI] and SSTI-related Bacteremia)

The aim of this study is to see the efficacy and safety of BAY1192631 in Japanese patients with methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) (skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) and SSTI-related bacteremia).

Exclusion Criteria:

• Having received any systemic antibacterial potentially effective against MRSA for >/=24 hours within 3 days prior to the first infusion of a study drug, or having received/expected to receive the medication within 24 hours prior to the first infusion, unless antibacterial therapy for >/=72 hours proves to be ineffective on or lack appropriate potency (resistant) to MRSA.
• Moribund clinical condition such as death likely within the first 3 days of a study drug treatment
• History of significant allergy or intolerance to linezolid or BAY1192631
• Known or suspected human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection with a CD4+ T-cell count < 200/μL
• Chronic treatment with immunosuppressive drugs
• Active tuberculosis or non-tuberculous mycobacteriosis which need medical treatments
• Current or anticipated neutropenia with neutrophil count < 1,000/ mm^3
• Alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >/= 8 times the upper limit of reference range OR moderate to severe hepatic disease with Child Pugh score >/=10.
