Daptomycin in 0.9% Sodium Chloride Injection

350 mg/50 mL, 500 mg/50 mL, 700 mg/100 mL, 1,000 mg/100 mL

Indications and Important Risk Information

Indications

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is a lipopeptide antibacterial indicated for the treatment of:

• Complicated skin and skin structure infections (cSSSI) in adult and pediatric patients (1 to 17 years of age) for whom appropriate dosing can be achieved and,

Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (bacteremia), in adult patients for whom appropriate dosing can be achieved, including those with right-sided infective endocarditis,

Staphylococcus aureus bloodstream infections (bacteremia) in pediatric patients (1 to 17 years of age) for whom appropriate dosing can be achieved.

Limitations of Use:

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is not indicated for the treatment of pneumonia.

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is not indicated for the treatment of left-sided infective endocarditis due to S. aureus.

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is not recommended in pediatric patients younger than one year of age due to the risk of potential effects on muscular, neuromuscular, and/or nervous systems (either peripheral and/or central) observed in neonatal dogs.

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection and other antibacterial drugs, Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should be used to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria.

Important Risk Information

Contraindications

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is contraindicated in patients with a known hypersensitivity to daptomycin.

Warnings and Precautions

Anaphylaxis/Hypersensitivity Reactions: Anaphylaxis/hypersensitivity reactions have been reported with the use of antibacterial agents, including daptomycin for injection, and may be life-threatening. If an allergic reaction occurs, discontinue the drug and institute appropriate therapy.

Myopathy and Rhabdomyolysis: Patients receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should be monitored for the development of muscle pain or weakness, particularly of the distal extremities. CPK levels should be monitored weekly, and more frequently in patients who received recent, prior, or concomitant therapy with an HMG-CoA reductase inhibitor or in whom elevations in CPK occur during treatment. In adult patients with renal impairment, both renal function and CPK should be monitored more frequently than once weekly.

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should not be dosed more frequently than once a day.

Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should be discontinued in patients with unexplained signs and symptoms of myopathy in conjunction with CPK elevations to levels >1,000 U/L, and in patients without reported symptoms who have marked elevations in CPK, with levels >2,000 U/L.

Eosinophilic Pneumonia: Has been reported in patients receiving daptomycin for injection. In reported cases, patients developed fever, dyspnea with hypoxic respiratory insufficiency, and diffuse pulmonary infiltrates or organizing pneumonia. In general, patients developed eosinophilic pneumonia 2 to 4 weeks after starting daptomycin for injection and improved when discontinued and steroid therapy was initiated. Recurrence of eosinophilic pneumonia upon re-exposure has been reported. Patients who develop these signs and symptoms should undergo prompt medical evaluation, and Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should be discontinued immediately.

Drug Reaction with Eosinophilia and Systemic Symptoms (DRESS): DRESS has been reported in postmarketing experience. Patients who develop skin rash, fever, peripheral eosinophilia, and systemic organ (for example, hepatic, renal, pulmonary) impairment while receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should undergo medical evaluation. If DRESS is suspected, discontinue promptly and institute appropriate treatment.

Tubulointerstitial Nephritis (TIN): TIN has been reported in post-marketing experience. Patients who develop new or worsening renal impairment while receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection should undergo medical evaluation. If TIN is suspected, discontinue promptly and institute appropriate treatment.

Peripheral Neuropathy: Cases have been reported during post-marketing experience. Therefore, physicians should be alert to signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy in patients receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection. Monitor for neuropathy and consider discontinuation.

Potential Nervous System and/or Muscular System Effects in Pediatric Patients Younger than 12 Months: Avoid use in pediatric patients younger than 12 months due to the risk of potential effects on muscular, neuromuscular, and/or nervous systems (either peripheral and/or central) observed in neonatal dogs with intravenous daptomycin.

Clostridioides difficile-Associated Diarrhea (CDAD): CDAD has been reported with the use of nearly all systemic antibacterial agents, including daptomycin for injection, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis. Careful medical history is necessary because CDAD has been reported to occur more than 2 months after the administration of antibacterial agents. If CDAD is suspected or confirmed, ongoing antibacterial use not directed against C. difficile may need to be discontinued. Appropriate fluid and electrolyte management, protein supplementation, antibacterial treatment of C. difficile, and surgical evaluation should be instituted as clinically indicated.

Persisting or Relapsing S. aureus Bacteremia/Endocarditis: Patients should have repeat blood cultures. If a blood culture is positive for S. aureus, minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) susceptibility testing of the isolate should be performed, and diagnostic evaluation of the patient should be performed to rule out sequestered foci of infection. Appropriate surgical intervention and/or consideration of a change in antibacterial regimen may be required. Failure of treatment may be due to reduced daptomycin susceptibility.

Decreased efficacy was observed in adult patients with moderate baseline renal impairment: Consider these data when selecting antibacterial therapy for use in adult patients with baseline moderate to severe renal impairment.

Adverse Reactions:

  • Adult cSSSI Patients: The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥2% of adult cSSSI patients receiving daptomycin for injection 4 mg/kg were diarrhea, headache, dizziness, rash, abnormal liver function tests, elevated creatine phosphokinase (CPK), urinary tract infections, hypotension, and dyspnea.
  • Pediatric cSSSI Patients: The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥2% of pediatric patients receiving daptomycin for injection were diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, pruritus, pyrexia, elevated CPK, and headache.
  • Adult S. aureus bacteremia/endocarditis Patients: The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥5% of S. aureus bacteremia/endocarditis patients receiving daptomycin for injection 6 mg/kg were sepsis, bacteremia, abdominal pain, chest pain, edema, pharyngolaryngeal pain, pruritus, increased sweating, insomnia, elevated CPK, and hypertension.
  • Pediatric S. aureus bacteremia Patients: The most common adverse reactions that occurred in ≥5% of pediatric patients receiving daptomycin for injection were vomiting and elevated CPK.

Drug Interactions:

  • HMG-CoA Reductase Inhibitors: Inhibitors of HMG-CoA reductase may cause myopathy. Experience with the coadministration of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors and daptomycin for injection in patients is limited; therefore, consideration should be given to suspending use of HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors temporarily in patients receiving Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection.
  • Drug-Lab Test Interactions: Increased International Normalized Ratio (INR)/Prolonged Prothrombin Time: Clinically relevant plasma concentrations of daptomycin have been observed to cause a significant concentration-dependent false prolongation of prothrombin time (PT) and elevation of International Normalized Ratio (INR) when certain recombinant thromboplastin reagents are utilized for the assay.

Dosage and Administration

• If a dose of Daptomycin in Sodium Chloride Injection is required that does not equal 350 mg, 500 mg, 700 mg or 1,000 mg, this product is not recommended for use and an alternative formulation of daptomycin should be considered.
