Benefits of technology

"The invention provides pharmaceutical compositions of dalbavancin that can be used to treat or prevent bacterial infections. These compositions have a long-lasting effect in the body, with some formulations having a half-life of at least five days. The compositions can be administered as a single dose or as a unit dose in a pharmaceutically acceptable carrier. They can be stored for a long time without losing their effectiveness and can be sterilized. The compositions can be used to treat or prevent infections caused by a variety of bacteria, including Gram-positive and Gram-negative species. The invention also provides methods for making and using the pharmaceutical compositions."

Problems solved by technology

Catheter-related bloodstream infections occur when bacteria enter the bloodstream through an intravenous catheter and can be life threatening.
The coagulase-positive species methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) has long been problematic in both community-acquired and nosocomial infections, and several coagulase-negative staphylococci have been recognized as opportunistic human pathogens, especially in the treatment of critically ill patients in intensive care units.
Currently, the therapeutic options for severe infections caused by some of these pathogens are quite limited.
Further, even when an antibiotic exhibits a suitable pharmaceutical window, less frequent dosing is possible only if the antibiotic exhibits a suitable serum half-life to maintain therapeutic effectiveness over the dosing interval desired.

Efficacy and Safety of Once Weekly, Dalbavancin in Deep Skin and Soft Tissue Infections

This randomized, controlled study evaluated the safety and efficacy of two dose regimens of dalbavancin. Adult patients with skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) involving deep, skin structures or requiring surgical intervention were randomized to three groups: Study arm 1 received 1100 mg of dalbavancin via intravenous injection (IV) on day 1; Study arm 2 received 1 g of dalbavancin IV on day 1 and 500 mg of dalbavancin IV on day 8; Study arm 3 received “standard of care.” Clinical and microbiological response and adverse events were assessed.

Populations for Analysis

There were 62 patients randomized into the study; all received at least one dose of study medication. Four study populations were evaluated for safety and efficacy and were defined as follows: The intent-to-treat (ITT) population included all patients who received at least one dose of study drug (all randomized study subjects)...

Efficacy and Safety of once Weekly Dalbavancin in the Treatment of Catheter-Related Blood Stream Infection (CR-BSI)

This study evaluated the safety and efficacy (clinical and microbiological) of a weekly dosing regimen of dalbavancin in the treatment of adults with catheter-related blood stream infection (CR-BSI) due to gram-positive bacterial pathogens, relative to the standard care of treatment, vancomycin.

Methodology

Patients with CR-BSI due to suspected or known Gram-positive pathogen(s) who met the inclusion / exclusion criteria were randomized to one of two treatment arms in this open-label, comparative, multi-center study. Dalbavancin was administered once weekly in weekly dalbavancin and comparator (vancomycin) was administered daily in vancomycin. Catheter removal was required for patients with Staphylococcus aureus infection; catheter management was left to the Investigator's discretion for patients with coagulase-negative staphylococci (CoNS) infection. Efficacy was cli...

Pharmacokinetics and Renal Excretion of Dalbavancin in Healthy Subjects

The primary objectives of this study were to characterize the pharmacokinetics of dalbavancin and to calculate the extent of renal excretion in healthy subjects receiving a therapeutic dose of the drug. This was an open label, non-comparative, study.

Study Drug Treatment

Healthy male or female subjects between 18. and 65 years of age were administered a single 1000 mg IV dose of dalbavancin infused over 30 minutes.

Six subjects, one female and five male, were enrolled, received study medication, and completed all aspects of the study. Three subjects were Caucasian and three subjects were African-American. Mean age was 29.8 years (range 22 to 63). Mean height was 68.6 inches (range 63 to 75) and mean weight was 179.6 lbs (140 to 244).

Pharmacokinetics

Blood and urine (24-hr collections) were collected on study days 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14, 21, 28, and 42. Blood samples were drawn into heparinized tubes and ...

Abstract

The invention provides methods for treatment of bacterial infections in impaired renal patients. Methods of the invention include administration of a therapeutically effective dose of dalbavancin for treatment of a bacterial infection, in particular a Gram-positive bacterial infection of skin and soft tissue.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION This application relates to dalbavancin compositions and methods of use of such compositions in methods of treatment of bacterial infections. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention, nosocomial bloodstream infections are a leading cause of death in the United States. Approximately five percent of the seven million central venous catheters (CVCs) inserted annually in the United States are associated with at least one episode of bloodstream infection (approximately 350,000 a year). Catheter-related bloodstream infections occur when bacteria enter the bloodstream through an intravenous catheter and can be life threatening. Skin and soft tissue infections (SSTIs) are a common medical condition and often the consequence of trauma or surgical procedures. Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus pyogenes are the pathogens most frequently isolated from patients with deep tissue infections, although any pathogenic o...
