505(b)(2) Clinical Trials for Daptomycin
| Trial Type | Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| New Dosage | NCT00663403 ↗ | Pharmacokinetics of Daptomycin in Critically Ill Patients Receiving Continuous Venovenous Hemodialysis (CVVHD) | Completed | Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC | Phase 4 | 2007-02-01 | Daptomycin is an antibiotic that is affective against many strains of antibiotic resistant microorganisms. This antibiotic would be appropriate for use in the intensive care unit (ICU) considering the severity of illness and high risk for infection within this hospital environment. While in the ICU, patients may develop acute renal failure. Approximately 75% of ICU patients who develop acute renal failure will require some form of renal replacement therapy until their kidneys recover. Continuous hemodialysis is becoming one of the most common forms of dialysis in the ICU as it is a gentle type of dialysis provided over longer periods of time. The current data demonstrating the ability of continuous hemodialysis to remove daptomycin from the body is derived from in-vitro trials. The purpose of this trial is to determine the extent of daptomycin removal from critically ill patients receiving continuous hemodialysis. Findings from this trial will be used to develop new dosing recommendations for daptomycin in continuous hemodialysis. |

| New Dosage | NCT01734694 ↗ | Safety and Efficacy of Strategy to Prevent Drug-Induced Nephrotoxicity in High-Risk Patients | Terminated | Henry Ford Health System | Phase 4 | 2011-10-01 | For more than fifty years, vancomycin has been cited as a nephrotoxic agent. Reports of vancomycin induced kidney injury (a.k.a vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity or VIN), have waxed and waned throughout the years for various reasons. Recently, VIN has reemerged as a clinical concern. This may be due to various reasons, including new dosing recommendations as well as an increased prevalence of risk factors associated with vancomycin induced nephrotoxicity. This study aims to evaluate a strategy which attempts to reduce kidney damage from vancomycin use. |

All Clinical Trials for Daptomycin
| Trial ID | Title | Status | Sponsor | Phase | Start Date | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| NCT00055198 ↗ | Daptomycin for the Treatment of Infections Due to Gram-Positive Bacteria | Terminated | Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC | Phase 3 | 2002-12-19 | The purpose of this study is to provide daptomycin, an antibiotic, to patients who are failing conventional therapy, or who cannot take approved antibiotics for one reason or another. |
| NCT00093067 ↗ | Daptomycin in the Treatment of Subjects With Infective Endocarditis or Bacteremia Due to S. Aureus | Completed | Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC | Phase 3 | 2002-03-01 | The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and efficacy of daptomycin, an antibiotic, to standard therapy in subjects who have infective endocarditis or bacteremia due to Staphylococcus aureus (S. aureus). |
| NCT00102947 ↗ | Daptomycin in the Treatment of Patients With Renal Insufficiency and Complicated Skin and Skin Structure Infections | Terminated | Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC | Phase 4 | 2005-01-01 | This is a Phase 4, randomized, open-label, multicenter, comparative study designed to further evaluate the pharmacokinetics of intravenous (i.v.) daptomycin and the safety and efficacy of daptomycin relative to comparator in the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections in patients with renal impairment. |
| NCT00136292 ↗ | Study of Single Dose Daptomycin in Pediatric Patients With Gram-positive Infection for Which They Are Receiving Standard Antibiotics | Completed | Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC | Phase 1 | 2005-08-24 | The purpose of this study is to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of a single dose of daptomycin in patients aged 2-17 years old who have a suspected or proven gram-positive infection for which they are receiving standard antibiotic therapy. The tolerability of a single dose of daptomycin in these patients will also be assessed. |
| NCT00261807 ↗ | Daptomycin for the Treatment of Severe Necrotizing Soft-Tissue Infections | Completed | Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC | N/A | 2005-06-01 | Daptomycin is a new antimicrobial agent which has activity against resistant Gram positive cocci including MRSA. The phase 3 clinical trials for skin and soft tissue infections (SSTI) with Staphylococci and Streptococci have already demonstrated that daptomycin was noninferior to the comparator agent (vancomycin or beta-lactams) (10). Although this clinical trial did not include any patients with clostridial infection, there is in vitro data to support the activity of daptomycin against a variety of clostridial species(11) ( Clostridium perfringens) Therefore, for this trial we will include patients with clostridial infections with this species. Additionally, the patients in the SSTI study were not as ill as the proposed study population. Therefore for treatment of such severe infections, we would like to use a higher dose of daptomycin (6mg/kg/dose). The reasons for using a higher dose of daptomycin in this subgroup are as follows: 1. Patients who are severely ill have an increased volume of distribution; and therefore have a lower serum concentration of daptomycin. These patients might require a higher dose of daptomycin to achieve the desired serum concentration. 2. One of the organisms involved in necrotizing fasciitis is enterococcus (both-fecalis and faecium). E.faecium has higher MICs to daptomycin and would require a higher dose of the drug to achieve adequate free (unbound) serum concentration of the drug. 3. Both necrotizing fasciitis and endocarditis are serious deep seated infections. The clinical trials for endocarditis are using 6mg/kg/dose of daptomycin. Therefore for optimal treatment of necrotizing fasciitis, it is justifiable that we should use the higher dose of daptomycin. Objective: To evaluate the clinical and microbiological efficacy and safety of higher dose daptomycin therapy in the treatment of patients with severe necrotizing skin and soft tissue infections. Type of Study: Open label, single center study. |
