Dalbavancin for the Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection in Patients With Obesity or Diabetes: A Subgroup Analysis of Pooled Phase 3 Clinical Trials.

ABSTRACT:

Background

We assessed the efficacy and safety of dalbavancin, a long-acting lipoglycopeptide with activity against Gram-positive pathogens, for treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) in patients with high body mass index (BMI) and/or diabetes.

Methods

Data from two phase 3 trials of dalbavancin (1000 mg intravenous [IV], day 1; 500 mg IV, day 8) versus comparator and one phase 3b trial of single-dose (1500 mg IV, day 1) versus 2-dose (1000 mg IV, day 1; 500 mg IV, day 8) dalbavancin in adults with ABSSSI were pooled and summarized separately by baseline BMI and diabetes status. Clinical success at 48 to 72 hours (≥20% reduction in lesion size), end of treatment ([EOT] day 14), and day 28 was evaluated in the intent-to-treat (ITT) and microb
