Overview

Brief Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, evaluator-blinded, comparator-controlled study. Participants were to be randomized (1:1) to daptomycin or comparator, stratified by degree of renal impairment (creatinine clearance [CLcr] 30 - 50 milliliters per minute [mL/min] [moderate impairment] and <30 mL/min [severe impairment]) and by type of infection (bacteremia and complicated skin and skin structure infections [cSSSI]) to create 4 cohorts defined as follows:

  • Cohort 1: Bacteremia and CLcr <30 mL/min
  • Cohort 2: Bacteremia and CLcr 30 - 50 mL/min
  • Cohort 3: cSSSI and CLcr <30 mL/min
  • Cohort 4: cSSSI and CLcr 30 - 50 mL/min

Participants will be treated and evaluated for safety and microbiological and clinical efficacy in accordance with their type of infection and degree of renal impairment. Peak and trough samples will be collected to assess exposure to daptomycin for participants on Day 1 and following the 5th dose.

Arms & Interventions

Daptomycin, Bacteremia, Severe Renal Impairment

Cohort 1. Daptomycin was given intravenously 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) per administration. For bacteremia participants with Creatinine Clearance (CLcr) below 30 milliliters per minute (mL/min) and currently receiving hemodialysis, daptomycin was administered immediately following each hemodialysis session (3 per week) for 14 to 42 days based on disease resolution or Investigator discretion. For participants not receiving dialysis, daptomycin was administered every 48 hours for 14 to 42 days based on disease resolution or Investigator discretion.

Intervention: Daptomycin

Vancomycin or SSP, Bacteremia, Severe Renal Impairment

Cohort 1. Participants randomized to the comparator therapy group received vancomycin or penicillinase-resistant penicillin (nafcillin, oxacillin, or cloxacillin). Investigators were allowed to select an agent based on local availability and normal treatment practices. Participants randomized to comparator subsequently found to have an infection caused by Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA) could have switched from vancomycin to penicillinase-resistant penicillin (nafcillin, oxacillin, or cloxacillin) at the Investigator's discretion. All treatments were dosed per Investigator's discretion and were administered intravenously (IV) until end of antibiotic therapy for bacteremia or until hospital discharge, whichever occurred first. Investigators treated participants according to their usual decision-making and discretion.

Intervention: Vancomycin

Vancomycin or SSP, Bacteremia, Severe Renal Impairment

Cohort 1. Participants randomized to the comparator therapy group received vancomycin or penicillinase-resistant penicillin (nafcillin, oxacillin, or cloxacillin).

Participants randomized to comparator subsequently found to have an infection caused by Methicillin-Susceptible Staphylococcus Aureus (MSSA) could have switched from vancomycin to penicillinase-resistant penicillin (nafcillin, oxacillin, or cloxacillin) at the Investigator's discretion. All treatments were dosed per Investigator's discretion and were administered intravenously (IV) until end of antibiotic therapy for bacteremia or until hospital discharge, whichever occurred first. Investigators treated participants according to their usual decision-making and discretion.

Intervention: Semi-Synthetic Penicillin

Daptomycin, Bacteremia, Moderate Renal Impairment

Cohort 2. Daptomycin was given intravenously 6 milligrams per kilogram (mg/kg) per administration. For bacteremia participants with CLcr values between 30 and 50 mL/min not receiving dialysis, daptomycin was administered every 24 hours for 14 to 42 days based on disease resolution or Investigator discretion.
