Wound Infection Abscess Systemic Inflammation Cellulitis | Drug: Single-Dose IV Oritavancin Diphosphate Drug: IV Vancomycin | Phase 3 |
This is a Phase 3, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel, comparative efficacy and safety study of single-dose IV oritavancin/IV placebo versus IV vancomycin for 7 to 10 days in adults with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) suspected or proven to be caused by Gram-positive pathogens. Approximately 960 patients will be randomized at 100 centers globally.
In addition, this study will characterize the PK and PK/PD properties of a single 1200 mg IV dose of oritavancin and evaluate the potential health economic benefits offered by this dosing strategy.

- Early Clinical Response [ Time Frame: 48-72 hours after the initation of study therapy ]Clinical response at the ECE visit (48-72 hours following initiation of study drug administration). Early clinical response was defined as a composite outcome based on, cessation of spreading or reduction in the size of baseline lesion, absence of fever and no rescue antibiotic medication.
- Investigator Assessed Clinical Cure at Post Therapy Evaluation (Key Secondary Endpoint) [ Time Frame: 7 to 14 days after end of therapy ]Compared the clinical efficacy at the Post Therapy Evaluation of Oritavancin and Vancomycin based on the Investigator examination of the signs and symptoms of the primary ABSSSI; Investigator assessment of clinical cure is complete or nearly complete resolution of baseline signs and symptoms of the primary infection such that no further treatment with antibiotics is needed
- >= 20% Reduction in Lesion Area [ Time Frame: 48-72 hours after the initation of study therapy ]Clinical response at the ECE visit (48-72 hours following initiation of study drug administration) based on changes in ABSSSI lesion size measurements from baseline.
