Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • The participant was treated with at least one dose of oritavancin for a suspected or confirmed gram positive infection, as monotherapy or part of a broader regimen.
  • At least 60 days has elapsed since the participant received the last dose of oritavancin therapy (prior to data entry into the electronic Case Report Form).

Exclusion criteria

  • The participant received oritavancin as a part of a controlled clinical trial.
  • The participant received oritavancin as a part of a Medicines Company-sponsored single or multi-centered pharmacoeconomic outcomes study.

Treatment and study plan

Oritavancin

Drug

This study is an observational study. All participants were administered oritavancin prior to enrollment in this study.

Other names: Orbactiv®

Primary outcomes

  1. Types Of Primary Infections Being Treated With Oritavancin

    Time frame: Day 1

    The Types Of Primary Infections refers to whether the primary infection was skin or skin structure or other systemic infection (for example, bacteremia, prosthetic joint infection, osteomyelitis).

  2. Classification Of Primary Infections Being Treated With Oritavancin

    Time frame: Day 1

    The classification of primary infection refers to whether a skin or skin structure infection was cellulitis, abscess, wound, or other.

  3. Proportion Of Participants With Positive Cultures For Gram Positive, Gram Negative, And Anaerobic Pathogens From The Infected Site

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after oritavancin IV infusion

    All microbiology results during the infection event will be reported. Microbiology results will be noted only for the infection site for which oritavancin (in addition to other agents) is administered or other site related to the primary infection in case of multiple infections. An adverse event was any untoward medical occurrence in participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship.

  4. Duration Of Treatment With Oritavancin

    Time frame: Day 1 through end of oritavancin IV infusion

    The number of days of treatment with oritavancin will be presented.

  5. Proportion Of Participants With A Clinical Outcome Of Cure, Improved, or Failure

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after oritavancin IV infusion

    Clinical assessments will be based on participant records between end of infusion to 30 days following the last dose of Oritavancin. Clinical categories for assessment include:

    • Cure - Clinical signs and symptoms are resolved, and no additional antibiotic therapy is necessary for the treatment of the infection
    • Improved - Partial resolution of clinical signs and symptoms, and no additional antibiotic therapy is necessary for the treatment of the infection
    • Failure - Inadequate resolution, or new or worsening clinical signs and symptoms, such that additional antibiotic therapy is necessary for treatment of the infection
    • Non-evaluable - Unable to determine response because the participant record did not contain the necessary information to determine cure, improvement, or failure
  6. Proportion Of Participants With A Microbiologic Eradication Or Microbiologic Persistence

    Time frame: Up to 30 days after oritavancin IV infusion

    Microbiological assessments will be based on participant records between end of infusion to 30 days following the last dose of oritavancin. Microbiological categories will include only gram positive pathogens believed to be related to the infection process and are defined as:

    • Microbiologic eradication (the baseline gram positive pathogen has been eradicated)
    • Microbiologic persistence (the baseline gram positive pathogen persists)
    • Culture drawn post-oritavancin therapy, but no information regarding microbiologic culture results
    • No culture collected following the last dose of oritavancin
    • No information available
  7. Use Of Concomitant Antibiotics With Oritavancin

    Time frame: Day 1 through end of oritavancin IV infusion

    Concomitant antibiotics include those used between the first and last dose of oritavancin. The number of participants and the type of antibiotic taken will be presented.
