Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 2694 0
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and local tolerability of twice-daily topical nasal application of NEO101 in adult subjects with stable nasal carriage of Staphylococcus aureus.
Timepoint [1] 2694 0
Safety and local tolerability will be assessed during the 7-day treatment course and through the 14-day follow-up period. Assessments will be made on a daily basis.
Secondary outcome [1] 4558 0
1) to make a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of twice-daily topical nasal application of NEO101 in the reduction or eradication of nasal carriage of S. aureus;
Timepoint [1] 4558 0
These evaluations will be based on quantitative microbiologic determinations of S. aureus before, during and after treatment. Cultures for S. aureus will be performed during screening and on Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 15 and 22.
Secondary outcome [2] 4559 0
2) to make a preliminary evaluation of the efficacy of NEO101 in the reduction or eradication of specific strains of S. aureus, including methicillin-sensitive and methicillin-resistant (MRSA) strains.
Timepoint [2] 4559 0
These evaluations will be based on quantitative microbiologic determinations of S. aureus before, during and after treatment. Cultures for S. aureus will be performed during screening and on Days 1, 2, 3, 5, 7, 8, 10, 15 and 22.

Key exclusion criteria
Subjects have concomitant dermatologic or medical condition(s) which may interfere with the investigator's ability to evaluate the subject's response to the study drug, have clinical evidence of active cutaneous infection, have had skin or soft tissue infection with S. aureus within 30 days prior to randomization, have documented disruption of the nasal or facial bones, have atopic dermatitis/eczema, allergic rhinitis, nasal polyps, or nasal piercings, have a history of hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to parabens, sodium sulfite or any other ingredient in the vehicle formulation.

Purpose of the study
Treatment
Allocation to intervention
Randomised controlled trial
Procedure for enrolling a subject and allocating the treatment (allocation concealment procedures)
Subjects will be randomized to receive either NEO101 or vehicle-containing placebo. Each subject will be assigned a unique subject number, corresponding to the randomization code indicating treatment group. The study site is supplied with blinded numbered study drug kits. Allocation is concealed by numbered containers.
Methods used to generate the sequence in which subjects will be randomised (sequence generation)
Subjects will be randomized to treatment using the order established on the drug dispensation list. The randomization schedule was developed using a blocked randomization scheme.
Masking / blinding
Blinded (masking used)
Who is / are masked / blinded?



Intervention assignment
Parallel
Other design features
The investigator (responsible for administration of treatment and assessment of response), study staff (supporting the investigator and sponsor in collection and reporting of response) and subjects will be blinded.
