Study Description

Brief Summary:

Serious infections caused by resistant bacteria are becoming more of a medical problem throughout the world. One of the ways to deal with this problem is to develop new drugs that can control these bacteria. This study will measure how well TD-6424 (Telavancin) can control infections and whether this drug can be safely given to patients.

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Infections, Gram-Positive Bacterial; Abscess; Burns; Cellulitis; Ulcer; Wound Infections	Drug: Telavancin; Drug: Vancomycin or antistaphylococcal penicillin	Phase 2

Study Design

• Study Type: Interventional (Clinical Trial)
• Actual Enrollment: 169 participants
• Allocation: Randomized
• Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
• Masking: Quadruple (Participant, Care Provider, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor)
• Primary Purpose: Treatment
• Official Title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-Blind, Multinational Trial of Intravenous Telavancin Versus Standard Therapy for Treatment of Complicated Gram Positive Skin and Skin Structure Infections (Gram Positive cSSSI)

• Actual Study Completion Date: January 2004

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Experimental: Telavancin	Drug: Telavancin; Telavancin 7.5 mg/kg/day IV (intravenously) for up to 14 days; Other Names: VIBATIV; TD-6424
Active Comparator: Standard of care for cSSSI; cSSSI - complicated skin and skin structure infections	Drug: Vancomycin or antistaphylococcal penicillin; Vancomycin 1 Gram IV (intravenously) every 12 hrs or nafcillin 2 Grams, oxacillin 2 Grams, or (in South Africa) cloxacillin 0.5 - 1 Gram, IV (intravenously) every 6 hrs for up to 14 days.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Clinical Response Which is Measured at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population [ Time Frame: 7-14 days following end of antibiotic treatment ]
   • Cure: Resolution of clinically significant signs, symptoms associated with the skin infection present at study admission or improvement to the extent that the infectious process had been controlled and no further therapy with study medication was necessary.
   • Failure: Inadequate response to study therapy or the need for significant surgical management (e.g. more than just routine debridement) of the infection site following antibiotic therapy and prior to the Test-of-Cure (TOC) visit.
   • Indeterminate: Inability to determine outcome.

Eligibility Criteria

• Ages Eligible for Study: 18 Years and older (Adult, Older Adult)
• Sexes Eligible for Study: All
• Accepts Healthy Volunteers: No

Criteria

Inclusion Criteria:

• Patients must have a diagnosis of one of the following complicated skin and skin structure infections with either a suspected or confirmed Gram positive organism as the major cause of the infection:

  • major abscess requiring surgical incision and drainage
  • infected burn (see exclusion criteria for important qualifications)
  • deep/extensive cellulitis
  • infected ulcer (see exclusion criteria for important qualifications)
  • wound infections
• Patients must be expected to require at least 4 days of intravenous antibiotic treatment

Exclusion Criteria:

• Previous systemic antibacterial therapy (with the exception of aztreonam and metronidazole) for > 24 hours within 7 days prior to the first dose of study medication unless the pathogen was resistant to prior treatment or the patient was a treatment failure (no clinical improvement after 3 days).
• Burns involving > 20% of body surface area or third degree/full thickness in nature, diabetic foot ulcers, ischemic ulcers/wounds, necrotizing fasciitis, gas gangrene, or mediastinitis.
