KIMYRSA

The mean (±SD) pharmacokinetic parameters of oritavancin products (KIMYRSA and oritavancin) in patients with ABSSSI are presented in Table 3.

Table 3Mean (±SD) Pharmacokinetic Parameters following a single 1,200 mg dose of KIMYRSA by intravenous infusion over 1 hour (N= 50) and Oritavancin by intravenous infusion over 3 hours (N=50) in Patients with ABSSSI Pharmacokinetic Parameter KIMYRSA (1 hour) Mean (± SD) Oritavancin (3 hour) Mean (± SD) C max , Maximum plasma concentration; AUC 0-72 , Ar...

14.1 Acute Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI) A total of 1987 adults with clinically documented ABSSSI suspected or proven to be due to Gram-positive pathogens were randomized into two identically designed, randomized, double-blind, multi-center, multinational, non-inferiority trials (Trial 1 and Trial 2) comparing a single 1,200 mg intravenous dose of oritavancin to intravenous vancomycin (1 g or 15 mg/kg every 12 hours) for 7 to 10 days. The primary analysis population (modified intent to treat, mITT) included all randomized patients who received any study drug. Patients c...

The following adverse reactions are also discussed in the Warnings and Precautions section of labeling: Hypersensitivity Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.2) ] Infusion Related Reactions [see Warnings and Precautions (5.3) ] Clostridioides difficile -Associated Diarrhea [see Warnings and Precautions (5.4) ] Osteomyelitis [see Warnings and Precautions (5.6) ] The most common adverse reactions (≥3%) in patients treated with oritavancin products were headache, nausea, vomiting, limb and su...

Use of intravenous unfractionated heparin sodium is contraindicated for 120 hours (5 days) after KIMYRSA administration. ( 4.1 , 5.1 ) Known hypersensitivity to oritavancin products. ( 4.2 , 5.2 ) 4.1 Intravenous Unfractionated Heparin Sodium Use of intravenous unfractionated heparin sodium is contraindicated for 120 hours (5 days) after KIMYRSA administration because the activated partial thrombo...

Coagulation test interference: Oritavancin has been shown to artificially prolong aPTT for up to 120 hours, and may prolong PT and INR for up to 12 hours and ACT for up to 24 hours. For patients who require aPTT monitoring within 120 hours of KIMYRSA dosing, consider a non-phospholipid dependent coagulation test such as a Factor Xa (chromogenic) assay or an alternative anticoagulant not requiring aPTT. ( 5.1 , 7.2 ) Serious hypersensitivity reactions, including anaphylaxis, have been reported wi...

7 DRUG INTERACTIONS 7.1 Effect of KIMYRSA on CYP Substrates A screening drug-drug interaction study indicated that oritavancin is a nonspecific, weak inhibitor (CYP2C9 and CYP2C19) or inducer (CYP3A4 and CYP2D6) of several CYP isoforms [see Clinical Pharmacology (12.3) ] . A drug-drug interaction study that assessed the interaction potential of a single 1,200 mg dose of oritavancin on the pharmaco...
