Women ≥2 years postmenopausal or surgically sterile are exempt from this exclusion
  • History of immune-related hypersensitivity reaction to glycopeptides (such as vancomycin, televancin, daptomycin, or dalbavancin) or any of their excipients. Note: participants who have had histamine-like infusion reactions to a glycopeptide are not excluded
  • Participants unwilling to forego blood and/or blood product donation for at least 1 month from initiation of oritavancin dose

About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Randomized Study to Evaluate the Safety of Either a Single 1200-mg Intravenous (IV) Dose of Orbactiv™ (Oritavancin) and Placebo or Two IV Doses of Orbactiv™ in Subjects Being Treated for Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infection (ABSSSI)

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the safety and tolerability of two 1200 milligram (mg) intravenous (IV) infusions of oritavancin when administered one week apart.

Read the detailed description

Clinical studies in adult participants with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infection (ABSSSI) have demonstrated that a single 1200-mg IV dose of oritavancin was clinically non-inferior, well tolerated, and had a similar safety profile to 7 to 10 days of IV vancomycin treatment. The 1200-mg dose of oritavancin is the United States approved therapeutic dose.

Participants with ABSSSI were enrolled in this study to obtain safety information of two 1200-mg IV infusions of oritavancin when administered one week apart.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Oritavancin/OritavancinExperimentalOn Day 1, participants were administered a single 1200-mg IV dose of oritavancin in 1000 milliliters (mL) diluted in 5% dextrose in water (D5W). On Day 7, an additional 1200-mg IV dose of oritavancin in 1000 mL of D5W was administered.
Receives: Drug: Oritavancin
Oritavancin/PlaceboOtherOn Day 1, participants were administered a single 1200-mg IV dose of oritavancin in 1000 mL of D5W. On Day 7, a placebo was administered IV in 1000 mL of D5W.
Receives: Drug: Oritavancin; Drug: Placebo (D5W)

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs)

    An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a medicinal product and which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment, including abnormal vital signs or laboratory assessments. Treatment emergent adverse events (TEAE) were AEs which occurred or whose severities worsened on or after the initiation of study drug. An SAE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that at any dose resulted in any of the following outcomes as fatal, life-threatening, required in-participant hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, a congenital anomaly/birth defect, an important medical event. A summary of all SAEs and Other AEs (nonserious) regardless of causality is located in the 'Reported Adverse Events' Section.

    Measured: Up to Day 21 after first administration of oritavancin

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Number of Participants With a Clinical Response of Cure

    Participants were classified by investigator assessment as "success" for clinical response of cure if there was a complete or nearly complete resolution of baseline signs and symptoms of the primary infection such that no further treatment with antibiotics was needed.

    Measured: Up to Day 8 after first administration of oritavancin

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Oritavancin in people with Skin Diseases, Bacterial, run by The Medicines Company at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 26 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Feb 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Feb 2024). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) and Serious Adverse Events (SAEs) (time frame: Up to Day 21 after first administration of oritavancin). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Feb 2024.
