Study Description

Brief Summary:

This study is being conducted to evaluate the pharmacokinetic (PK) and safety of Kimyrsa versus the approved oritavancin formulation in subjects with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI). Kimyrsa adjusts the infusion time, concentration and reconstitution/administration solutions of a single 1200 mg intravenous (IV) infusion of oritavancin

Condition or disease	Intervention/treatment	Phase
Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection	Drug: Current Formulation of Oritavancin; Drug: Kimyrsa	Phase 1

Detailed Description:

Single IV dose oritavancin (1200 mg) has been approved in the U.S. for the treatment of adult patients with ABSSSI caused or suspected to be caused by Gram-positive microorganisms. The current study is being conducted to evaluate the relative exposure, PK and safety of a new formulation of oritavancin, Kimyrsa, by adjusting infusion time, concentration and reconstitution/administration solutions of a single 1200 mg IV infusion of oritavancin in adult subjects with ABSSSI.

Fifty (50) subjects will be administered the currently approved formulation of oritavancin, using the approved dosing regimen in which Sterile Water for Injection (SWFI) is the reconstituting agent and Dextrose 5% in Water (D5W) is used for further dilution to a total volume of 1000 mL. This formulation will be infused per the approved label over 3 hours. An additional 50 subjects will be administered Kimyrsa which contains hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HPβCD). This formulation will be reconstituted with SWFI and further diluted in 0.9% sodium chloride (saline) to a total volume of 250 mL. This formulation will be infused over 60 minutes.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment
Active Comparator: Current Formulation of Oritavancin; Three single-use vials, each containing 400 mg (1200 mg total) of oritavancin diphosphate (as the free base) and the inactive component mannitol. Oritavancin vials will be reconstituted with SWFI and further diluted in D5W for a total volume of 1000 mL and infused intravenously over 3 hours.	Drug: Current Formulation of Oritavancin; Current formulation of oritavancin (3 hour infusion of 1200 mg in 1000 ml of D5W); Other Name: Orbactiv
Experimental: Kimyrsa; A single vial containing 1200 mg of oritavancin, HPβCD, and mannitol. Kimyrsa vials will be reconstituted with SWFI and further diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride for a total volume of 250 mL and infused intravenously over 1 hour.	Drug: Kimyrsa; New formulation of oritavancin (1 hour infusion of 1200 mg in 250 ml of saline)

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

1. Relative Exposure of AUC of the New Formulation to the Approved Formulation [ Time Frame: 72 hours ]
   Relative exposure of AUC of the new formulation to the approved formulation of oritavancin based on area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 72 hr (AUC0-72)
2. Relative Exposure of AUC of the New Formulation to the Approved Formulation [ Time Frame: 168 hours (Day 8) ]
   Relative exposure of AUC of the new formulation to the approved formulation of oritavancin based on area under the plasma concentration-time curve from time zero to 168 hr (AUC0-168).

Secondary Outcome Measures :

1. Number of Subjects With at Least One Treatment Emergent Adverse Event (TEAE) [ Time Frame: 336 hours (Day 15) ]
   Number of subjects with at least one treatment emergent adverse event (TEAE)

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:

Subjects may be included in the study if they meet all of the following criteria:

1. Subject must be 18 years of age or older, male or female, and of any race.
2. Subject must give written informed consent before initiation of any study-related procedures.
3. Diagnosis of ABSSSI (wound infections, cellulitis/erysipelas, or cutaneous abscess) suspected or confirmed to be caused by a Gram-positive pathogen requiring IV therapy.
4. If female, the subject is surgically sterile, postmenopausal, or, if of childbearing potential, agrees to use at least 2 highly effective methods of birth control (e.g. prescription oral contraceptives, contraceptive injections, contraceptive patch, intrauterine device, barrier methods, abstinence) for the duration of the study until 60 days after study drug administration, or male partner sterilization alone.
5. Subject must express a commitment to comply with all study visits, procedures and requirements for the duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

Subjects will be excluded from the study if any of the following exclusion criteria apply prior to randomization:

1. Infections associated with, or in close proximity to, a prosthetic device.
2. Severe sepsis or refractory shock.
3. Known or suspected bacteremia at time of screening.

4. ABSSSI due to or associated with any of the following:

   1. Infections suspected or documented to be caused by only Gram-negative pathogens (i.e., infections acquired during prolonged admission in hospital or long-term care facilities).
   2. Diabetic foot infections (infection extending distal to the malleoli in a subject with diabetes mellitus and peripheral neuropathy and/or vascular insufficiency or any ulceration of their foot).
   3. Concomitant infection at another site not including a secondary ABSSSI lesion (e.g., septic arthritis, endocarditis, osteomyelitis).
   4. Infected burns.
   5. A primary infection secondary to a pre-existing skin disease with associated inflammatory changes such as atopic dermatitis, eczema, or hidradenitis suppurativa.
   6. Decubitus or chronic skin ulcer, or ischemic ulcer due to peripheral vascular disease (arterial or venous).
   7. Any evolving necrotizing process (i.e., necrotizing fasciitis), gangrene or infection suspected or proven to be caused by Clostridium species (e.g., crepitance on examination of the ABSSSI site and/or surrounding tissue(s) or radiographic evidence of subcutaneous gas in proximity to the infection).
   8. Infections known to be caused by an organism resistant to oritavancin.
   9. Catheter site infections.
5. Treatment with investigational medicinal product within 30 days or 5 half-lives, whichever is longer, before enrollment and for the duration of the study.
6. Subjects currently receiving anticoagulant therapy.
