Phase II, Randomized, Open-Label, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of Dalbavancin Versus Vancomycin in the Treatment of Catheter-Related Bloodstream Infections With Suspected or Confirmed Gram-Positive Bacterial Pathogens

This is a study to evaluate a new medication dosed once a week in the treatment of bacterial infections in the blood from intravenous catheters (CR-BSI). The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of dalbavancin in the treatment of adults with CR-BSI relative to a standard of care treatment, vancomycin.
