  3. Experts Available for Questions and Answers

  4. What is Daptomycin? • Cyclic lipopeptide natural product • Approved (IV, 4 mg/kg q24h) for complicated skin and skin structure infections, including MRSA • US 2003 • Israel 2004 • Argentina 2005 • EU 2006

  5. Post-licensure Experience • 150,000+ patients treated • No new toxicities • ~1/3 of doses delivered in outpatient setting • Potency vs. S. aureus maintained • Microbiologic surveillance studies demonstrate> 99.9% of isolates are daptomycin susceptible • ~25% of use is for bacteremia (off-label) • ~50% of this use at the 4 mg/kg dose approved for skin, NOT the 6 mg/kg dose studied in S. aureus bacteremia

  6. Rationale for Daptomycin in S. aureus Bacteremia and Endocarditis • Rapidly bactericidal in vitro and in vivo • Potency against MRSA and MSSA • Proven clinical efficacy in skin (MRSA and MSSA) • Proven efficacy in animal models of S. aureus endocarditis at 6 mg/kg human equivalent dose • Potential for outpatient treatment • Monotherapy • Once-daily

  7. Continuous Dialogue with FDA on Development • Study design (2001-2002) • Open-label • Comparators • Enrollment of all patients with S. aureus • Data Safety Monitoring Board • Study assessments and analyses (2004-2005) • Adjudication Committee • Primary endpoints • Statistical Analysis Plan agreed upon prior to unblinding • Study results (2005) • sNDA filed • Priority review granted

  8. S. aureus Bacteremia and EndocarditisSupplemental Indication and Dose • Proposed Indication • Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia (SAB) including those with known or suspected endocarditis (SAIE) caused by methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant strains • Proposed Dose • 6 mg/kg monotherapy administered as a 30-minute intravenous (IV) infusion once per day for a minimum duration of 2 to 6 weeks, depending on theclinical condition

  10. Overall Findings Daptomycin 6 mg/kg once daily: • Effective in the treatment of S. aureus bacteremia and endocarditis • Response higher in MRSA • Well tolerated for extended treatment durations • Less nephrotoxic than standard-of-care agents • Provides a much needed option for treatment of patients with S. aureus bacteremia including those with known or suspected endocarditis
