Vancomycin Versus Daptomycin for the Treatment of Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) Bacteremia
A Multi-centre Open Label Randomized Controlled Phase IIB Trial Comparing Vancomycin Versus Daptomycin for the Treatment of MRSA Bacteremia Due to Isolates With High Vancomycin Minimum Inhibitory Concentrations
The aim of this study is to compare the efficacy of daptomycin treatment versus vancomycin treatment in the treatment of methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bloodstream infections (BSI) due to isolates with high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) (i.e. > or equal to 1.5 ug/ml) in terms of reducing all-cause mortality.
Our secondary aim is to compare clinical failure rates of daptomycin treatment versus vancomycin treatment and to compare time to microbiological clearance in patients treated with daptomycin versus those treated with vancomycin.
Our primary hypothesis is that Daptomycin treatment is superior to vancomycin treatment in reducing mortality from BSIs due to MRSA with high vancomycin MIC from 25% to 10%.

Detailed Description
Introduction/Clinical Significance Vancomycin is the standard first-line treatment for methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) bacteremia. In recent years however, there has been an increase in the number of MRSA isolates with high vancomycin minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC). Recent consensus guidelines recommend clinicians consider using alternative agents such as daptomycin for MRSA infection when the vancomycin MIC is greater than 1 ug/ml. To date however, there has been no head to head randomized trial comparing the safety and efficacy of daptomycin and vancomycin in the treatment of blood stream infections (BSIs) due to MRSA with high vancomycin MICs.
Specific Aims:
Our primary aim is to compare the efficacy of daptomycin treatment versus vancomycin treatment in the treatment of MRSA BSIs due to isolates with high vancomycin MICs (i.e. > or equal to 1.5 ug/mL) in terms of reducing all-cause mortality.
Our secondary aim is to compare clinical failure rates of daptomycin treatment versus vancomycin treatment and to compare time to microbiological clearance in patients treated with daptomycin versus those treated with vancomycin.
Hypothesis:
Daptomycin treatment is superior to vancomycin treatment in reducing mortality from BSIs due to MRSA with high vancomycin MIC from 25% to 10%.
Methodology We will conduct a prospective open label randomized controlled phase 2B pilot study in 3 major Singaporean hospitals, with balanced treatment assignments within each hospital achieved by permuted block randomization. There will be 21 subjects per arm, with the control arm receiving vancomycin and the experimental arm receiving daptomycin. The primary objective is to compare the efficacy of daptomycin treatment versus vancomycin treatment in the treatment of MRSA BSIs due to isolates with high vancomycin MICs (i.e. > or equal to 1.5 ug/mL) in terms of reducing all-cause mortality 60 days from positive index blood culture. Secondary outcomes include rates of clinical failure, time to microbiological clearance, and rates of nephro- and muscular toxicities in both arms.
If the pilot study proves our hypothesis that indeed , we aim to proceed with a larger scale trial

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Daptomycin
Daptomycin will be dosed intravenously at 6-8mg/kg every 24 hours. Patients with uncomplicated bacteremia will receive a dose of 6mg/kg every 24 hours. Patients with suspected complicated bacteremia or endocarditis, or receipt of at least two doses of vancomycin in the last 90 days (apart from vancomycin received for their current MRSA bacteremia) will receive a dose of 8mg/kg every 24 hours. In patients with a creatinine clearance less than 30ml/min, or on intermittent or continuous hemodialysis, daptomycin will be dosed at 6-8mg/kg every 48 hours. The same criteria as above applies as to whether they receive 6mg/kg or 8mg/kg every 48hours. Daptomycin will be administered after hemodialysis in patients undergoing intermittent hemodialysis. |
Duration of treatment will be determined based on the type of bacteremia.
Patients with uncomplicated bacteremia will receive a minimum of 14 days antibiotics and those with complicated bacteremia or infective endocarditis will receive a minimum of 28 to 42 days antibiotics from the date that microbiological clearance is achieved.

Active Comparator: Vancomycin
Vancomycin will be dosed at 15mg/kg every 12 hours with appropriate dose adjustments by a pharmacist in patients with a creatinine clearance less than 50 ml/min, so as to achieve a vancomycin trough level of 15-20ug/ml.
|
Duration of treatment will be determined based on the type of bacteremia.
Patients with uncomplicated bacteremia will receive a minimum of 14 days antibiotics and those with complicated bacteremia or infective endocarditis will receive a minimum of 28 to 42 days antibiotics from the date that microbiological clearance is achieved.
