Primary Outcome Measures:

To demonstrate that daptomycin is not inferior to comparator in the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia and IE as assessed by the Independent External Adjudication Committee (IEAC) Outcome at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Intention-to-Treat (ITT) population.

Secondary Outcome Measures:

To compare clinical success rates between daptomycin and comparator in the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia and IE as assessed by the IEAC Outcome at End of Treatment (EOT) in the ITT population.
To compare clinical success rates between daptomycin and comparator in the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia and IE as assessed by the IEAC Outcome at EOT and TOC in the Per Protocol (PP) population.
To compare clinical success rates between daptomycin and comparator in the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia and IE as assessed by the IEAC Outcome for each of the diagnoses defined by the IEAC at EOT in the ITT population.
To compare clinical success rates between daptomycin and comparator in the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia and IE as assessed by the IEAC Outcome for each of the diagnoses defined by the Investigator at EOT in the ITT population.
To compare microbiologic eradication rates between daptomycin and comparator.
To demonstrate that survival rates are similar between daptomycin and comparator in the ITT population.
To evaluate the safety of daptomycin as compared to comparator in the safety population.
To assess the pharmacokinetics of daptomycin.
To compare the pharmacoeconomic impact of daptomycin with that of comparator.

Estimated Study Completion Date:	February 2005

Detailed Description:

Even with prompt treatment, Staphylococcus aureus Infective Endocarditis (IE) continues to be associated with significant morbidity and mortality indicating a need for new therapeutic approaches. In vitro, daptomycin is rapidly bactericidal, with concentration-dependent killing, and MIC90 of 0.5 g/ml for S. aureus; in clinical studies, daptomycin appears to be well tolerated and can be administered once every 24 hours by i.v. infusion. These characteristics suggest it should be clinically and microbiologically effective in the treatment of serious S. aureus infections, including IE and bacteremia

Comparison: standard of care (Vancomycin or Semi-synthetic Penicillin with adjunct gentamicin)
