Efficacy and Safety of Dalbavancin for the Treatment of Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections

Completed · Phase 3

Conditions studied: Abscess, Wound Infection, Surgical Site Infection, Cellulitis

In brief

The primary object is to compare the early clinical efficacy (after 48-72 hours of therapy) of dalbavancin to the comparator regimen (vancomycin with the option to switch to oral linezolid) for the treatment of patients with a suspected or proven gram-positive bacterial skin or skin structure infection.
