DAPTO-SNAP: Daptomycin vs. Vancomycin for the Treatment of Methicillin Resistant S. Aureus Bacteremia

Overview

This is an open label randomized controlled trial for patients with methicillin resistant S. aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infection which will directly compare the two most commonly used therapies, vancomycin and daptomycin. This study is an approved sub-study of The Staphylococcus aureus Network Adaptive Platform (SNAP) trial (NCT05137119)

Interventions

  • Drug Daptomycin for Injection
    Daptomycin given by injection at a dose determined by the treating team but not to be less than 6mg/kg
  • Drug Vancomycin (IV)
    Vancomycin by injection to be given at a dose selected by the treating team to achieve a desired trough level or AUC-based target, as determined by local standards of care

Primary outcome measures

  • Desirability of Outcome Ranking (DOOR) [Time frame: Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119)]
Secondary outcome measures (6)
  • Clinical failure [Time frame: Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119)]
  • Serious Adverse Event or Adverse Event Leading to Discontinuation [Time frame: Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119)]
  • All cause mortality [Time frame: Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119)]
  • Infectious Complications [Time frame: Day 90 post enrollment in the S. aureus Network Adaptive Platform Trial (NCT05137119)]
  • Drug Induced Myostitis [Time frame: Occurring while on therapy up to day 42 from enrollment in SNAP (NCT05137119)]
  • Eosinophilic pneumonia [Time frame: Occurring while on therapy up to day 42 from enrollment in SNAP (NCT05137119)]

Eligibility criteria

The participant must meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria for the SNAP Platform (NCT05137119) and also the following inclusion and exclusion criteria:

Inclusion criteria

  • Methicillin-resistant S. aureus bacteremia

Exclusion criteria

  • Severe allergy or non-severe rash to vancomycin or daptomycin
  • Suspected or confirmed MRSA pneumonia
  • Known vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) greater than or equal to 2mg/L or daptomycin MIC greater than or equal to 1mg/L

Criteria are shown verbatim from the registry (in English). Final eligibility is always assessed by the study center.
