Clinical Trial Summary

Serious infections caused by resistant bacteria are becoming more of a medical problem throughout the world. One of the ways to deal with this problem is to develop new drugs that can control these bacteria. This study will measure how well TD-6424 (Telavancin) can control infections and whether this drug can be safely given to patients.

Outcome

Type	Measure	Description	Time frame	Safety issue
Primary	Clinical Response Which is Measured at Test of Cure (TOC) in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population	Cure: Resolution of clinically significant signs, symptoms associated with the skin infection present at study admission or improvement to the extent that the infectious process had been controlled and no further therapy with study medication was necessary.; Failure: Inadequate response to study therapy or the need for significant surgical management (e.g. more than just routine debridement) of the infection site following antibiotic therapy and prior to the Test-of-Cure (TOC) visit.; Indeterminate: Inability to determine outcome.	7-14 days following end of antibiotic treatment
