Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details
174 patients to be enrolledTotal number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.
Treatment Study
These studies test new ways to treat a disease, condition, or health issue. The goal is to see if a new drug, therapy, or approach works better or has fewer side effects than existing options.

How participants are assigned to different groups/arms
In this clinical study, participants are placed into groups randomly, like flipping a coin. This ensures that the study is fair and unbiased, making the results more reliable. By assigning participants by chance, researchers can better compare treatments without external influences.

Other Ways to Assign Participants
Non-randomized allocation: Participants are assigned based on specific factors, such as their medical condition or a doctor's decision.
None (Single-arm trial): If the study has only one group, all participants receive the same treatment, and no allocation is needed.

How the interventions assigned to participants is kept confidential
Neither participants nor researchers know who is receiving which treatment. This is the most rigorous way to reduce bias, ensuring that expectations do not influence the results.

Other Ways to Mask Information
Open-label: Everyone knows which treatment is being given.
Single-blind: Participants do not know which treatment they are receiving, but researchers do.
Triple-blind: Participants, researchers, and outcome assessors do not know which treatment is given.
Quadruple-blind: Participants, researchers, outcome assessors, and care providers all do not know which treatment is given.

Criteria
3 inclusion criteria required to participate
Male or female subjects aged 18 years or older
Isolation of one of the following multi-antibiotic resistant bacteria: vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecium, vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus faecalis, or methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, alone or as part of a polymicrobial infection
Have a confirmed diagnosis of a serious infection (eg, bacteremia \[unless due to an excluded infection\], complicated intra-abdominal infection, complicated skin and skin structure infection, or pneumonia) requiring administration of intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy
3 exclusion criteria prevent from participating
Subjects with any concomitant condition or taking any concomitant medication that, in the opinion of the investigator, could preclude an evaluation of a response or make it unlikely that the contemplated course of therapy or follow-up assessment will be completed or that will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject's participation in this study
Anticipated length of antibiotic therapy less than 7 days
For subjects with VRE, known or suspected hypersensitivity to tigecycline or linezolid, or other compounds related to these classes of antibacterial agents (eg, oxazolidinones, tetracyclines, minocycline, doxycycline). For subjects with MRSA, known or suspected hypersensitivity to tigecycline or vancomycin, or other compounds related to these classes of antibacterial agents (eg, tetracyclines, minocycline, doxycycline)
