Phase 1
Completed
Conditions
End-stage Renal Disease
Renal Failure Chronic Requiring Hemodialysis
Interventions
Registration Number
NCT00882557
Lead Sponsor
Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC, a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc. (Rahway, New Jersey USA)
Brief Summary

BdaptomycinPost dialysis dosing
Adaptomycin9 mg/kg of daptomycin administered during the last 30 minutes of a hemodialysis session.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Evaluation of Area Under the Curve From Time 0 to InfinityWithin 30 minutes prior to the start of the infusion, mid-infusion, and end of the infusion; at 1, 2, 4, 6, 9, 24, and 48 hours after the end of the infusion; and just prior to the next hemodialysis session (i.e., 68 hours post-infusion)

Area under the plasma concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity for daptomycin doses

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Treatment-emergent Adverse EventsUp to 9 days after the last dose of study drug administration (Day 13 to Day 17 for those dosed on Day 8 and Day 20 to Day 24 for those dosed on Day 15).

Safety was monitored throughout the study, including observation and reports of AEs as well as changes in physical findings, vital signs, ECGs, and laboratory tests.
