`Primary Efficacy Outcome
`The Clinical Success rates for the pooled MITT population from Studies 9801 and 9901
`were 75.8% in_the daptomycin group and 76.2% in the comparator group (95% CI: -5.7,
`5.0) (see Table 40). The results indicate that daptomycin at 4 mg/kg q24h for 7 to 14 days
`is clinically and statistically non-inferior to the comparator agents for the treatment of
`cSSSI.

`Reviewer ’5 comments: In both populations, the clinical success rates for
`daptomycin and comparators were very similar for Staphylococcus aureus
`including MSSA and MSRA. Daptomycin was less effective (35% lower clinical
`success rate) than semi-synthetic penicillins against MRSA.
`
`Overall, clinical success rates of daptomycin for the treatment of Streptococcus
`pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae and Streptococcus a'ysgalactiae equisir’tilis
`were rather superior (25% higher clinical success rate) to comparators. However,
`clinical success rates of daptomycin for the treatment of viridans streptococci were
`lower overall to comparators. Daptomycin seemed more successful against viridans
`\
`streptococci than semi-synthetic penicillins.
`
`Overall", clinical success rates of daptomycin for the treatment of Enterococcus
`faecalis, including VSE, were lower than comparators. This was due to the
`observationthat clinical success rates of daptomycin were superior to vancomycin
`but inferior to that for semi-synthetic penicillins.
`
`Pathogen Eradication Rates
`Pathogen eradication rates by pathogen and treatment group for the pooled ME population
`is shown in Table 43 and for the MITI‘ population in Table 44. Pathogen eradication rates
`were comparable for the two populations. Additional data for pathogen eradication rates for
`both populations comparing daptomycin to either semi—synthetic penicillins or vancomycin

`
`Reviewer ’5 comments: In the ME population, the pathogen eradication rates for
`daptomycin and comparator were similar for Staphylococcus aureus however,
`daptomycin was less effective (9% lower pathogen eradication rate) comparator
`against MRSA. 1n the MITT population, the pathogen eradication rate among
`MRSA was significantly lower (1 1.5%) for daptomycin versus comparator.
`
`Overall, pathogen eradication rates of daptomycin for the treatment of
`Streptococcus pyogenes and Streptococcusagaiactiae were significantly superior to
`comparators. Daptomycin had higher eradication rates in both the ME and MITT
`.. “.,
`populations (9.8% and 11.9% higher, respectively) against Streptococcus pyogenes.

`
`Again, daptomycin had higher eradication rates in both the ME and MlTT
`populations (17.3% and 24.6% higher, respectively) against Streptococcus
`ago/actiae. However, pathogen eradication rates of daptomycin for the treatment of
`viridans streptococci and Streptococcus dysgalactiae equisimilis were lower overall
`to comparators. Eradication rates in both the ME and MITT populations were -
`lower for daptomycin versus comparators (5.7% and 8.3% lower, respectively)
`against viridans streptococci. However, against Streptococcus a’ysgalactiae
`equisimilis, the eradication rate in the ME population was 8.2% higher against
`comparator while the eradication rate in the MITT population was 5.8% lower for
`daptomycin versus comparators. The disagreement in eradication rates between the
`two populations is odd but may be partially explained by particularly low numbers
`of isolates.
`
`Overall, pathogen eradication rates of daptomycin for the treatment of Enterococcus
`faecalis, including VSE, were similar to comparators. This was due to the
`observation that pathogen eradication rates of daptomycin were somewhat superior
`to vancomycin but somewhat inferior to that of semi-synthetic penicillins.
`
`Clinical success rates and pathogen eradication rates of daptomycin versus comparators
`for the various pathogens paralleled one another with two exceptions. First, pathogen
`eradication rates for daptomycin versus comparators was somewhat lower for MRSA
`than clinical success rates. Thus it seems, daptomycin may have a similar clinical
`success rate for the treatment of MRSA as compared to comparators but the drug will not
`be as effective in eradicating the pathogen as the comparator drugs. The second
`exception is that daptomycin has a comparable rate of eradicating E. faecalis as do the
`comparator drugs despite the fact that the comparator drugs seem to be more successful
`clinically.
`
`a
`
`Overall, compared to subjects infected with a single pathogen, subjects infected with two
`pathogens had lower success rates (see Table 45); the clinical success rates for those
`subjects were similar for daptomycin (70.1%) and comparator (67.5%). The most prevalent
`combination of dual infecting pathogens was S. pyogenes and S. aureus, which was found
`in 48 subjects in each treatment group in the pooled MIT—1' population‘(see Table 10-64 of
`the Microbiology Section). Among these subjects, the clinical success rates were higher in
`the daptomycin group than in comparator, (81.3% vs. 68.8%, respectively); the individual
`pathogen eradication rates against S. aureus were 66.7% and 54.2%, respectively, and
`against S. pyogenes, 77.1% and 62.5%.

`A summary of clinical success and pathogen eradication rates by daptomycin MIC value
`for staphylolcocci, streptococci and Enterococcusfaecalis can be found in Tables 8-23, 8-

`Figures 6, 8 and 10, which can found below.
`
`The listing of daptomycin MIC values with clinical success and pathogen eradication for
`all S aweus in the ME pOpulation at TOCis shownin Table 8-23 and Figure 6. The
`daptomycin MIC values ranged from 0.12 to 0.5 11ngin the daptomycin--treated subjects,
`and from 0.12 to 2 ug/ml in the comparator treated subjects. The Applicant states that
`“There was no correlation in the clinical success rate or pathogen eradication rate
`compared to MIC value for S. aureus (see Figure 6)”. Figure 7 shows that the distribution
`of S. aureus MIC values for the daptomycin pooled treatment group isolates was similar to
`distribution for the combined SECURE surveillance isolates from skin.
`
`Reviewer ’5 comments: In fact, there seemed to be a trend as the clinical success
`rate and pathogen eradication rate increased compared to MIC value. MICs for both
`MSSA and MRSA were restricted to a range of 3 dilutions. Most isolates in both
`
`the clinical and surveillance studies demonstrated a MIC of 0.25uyml.

`47 and the grouping of all baseline Streptococcus spp. into a single group is shown in Table
`8-25. The daptomycin MIC values ranged from =0.03 to 10 ug/ml in the daptomycin and

`The majority of the isolates were S. pyogenes, which had a narrow M'IC range (0.03 to 0.06
`ug/ml). The broadest MIC range was observed in the vin'dans Streptococci group with a
`MIC range from 0.06 to 1 ug/ml. S. pyogenes was the most common streptococcal baseline
`pathogen. The distribution of MIC values in the combined SECURE surveillance studies
`for S. pyogenes and all of the Streptococcus spp. from skin or all sources were similar to
`the MIC values obtained in DAP-SST-9801 and DAP-SST-9901 (see Figure 9).
`
`Reviewer ’5 comments: It should be noted that according to the data in Figure 9,
`more clinical isolates have lower MIC values than the surveillance isolates.

`The listing ofdaptomycin MIC values with clinical success and pathogen eradication for all E.
`faecalis in the ME population at TOC is shown in Table 8-26 of the Microbiology Section. The
`daptomycin MIC values ranged from 0.5 to 2 ug/ml in the daptomycin-treated subjects, and from
`0.12 to 8 ug/ml in the comparator treated subjects. There was no correlation in the clinical
`success rate or pathogen eradication rate compared to MIC value -for E. faecalis (see Figure 10).
`For the daptomycin treated subjects, the E. faecalis MIC values were distributed nearly equally
`over three values (0.5 to 2 pg/ml). The daptomycin clinical success ranged from 58.3% to
`84.6%, and the pathogen eradication was from 58.3% to.69.2%. In both cases, the highest
`success rates were obtained against the E. faecalis with the highest MIC value (2 ug/ml). The
`range of E. faecalis MIC values in the daptomycin-treated arm of DAV-SST-98OI and DAP-
`SST-99OI was slightly narrower than the MIC values produced in the combined SECURE
`studies, but the"overall distribution was similar (see Figure 11).
`
`A series of tables containing data examining the correlation of daptomycin zone sizes with
`clinical success and pathogen eradication has been provided by the Applicant and can be
`found in Microbiology Section 8.6.15. These tables include Tables 8-27, 8-28, 8-29, 8-30,

`
`A summary of daptomycin zone sizes correlated with clinical success rates and pathogen
`eradication rates for MRSA and MSSA in the ME population at TOC can be found in Table
`8-27. The zone sizes andclinical success for all S. aureus combined are also displayed in
`Table 10-90. The zone sizes ranged from 16 mm to 25 mm in the daptomycin treated
`subjects, and from 17 mm to 26 mm in the comparator treated subjects. For MRSA, the
`daptomycin zone size was from 17 mm to 24 mm. The most prevalent zone sizes for
`MRSA were 19, 20, and 21 mm (22/30, 73% isolates). The clinical sucCess rate ranged
`from 57.1% to 87.5% for these three zones, while the pathogen eradication rateranged
`from 42.9% to 75.0%. The clinical success rates were 100% and 50% for the 2 smallest
`zones (17 and 18 mm, respectively), while the pathogen wadication rates were 100% and
`25%, respectively. There was not a clear pattern of zone versus clinical outcome for
`MRSA.
`
`For S aureus MSSA, the most prevalent zone sizes were also 19, 20, and 21 mm (166/208,
`80% of isolates). The clinical success rates ranged from 85.3% to 86.8% and the pathogen
`eradication rates ranged from 66.7% to 73.7% for MSSA ofthese three zone sizes. For the
`next three smaller zone sizes (16 - 18 mm), the clinical success rates were 75.0% to 100%
`(14/18, 78% overall), and the pathogen eradication rates were 69.2% to 100%( 13/18, 72%
`overall). There was not a clear pattern of zone size versus clinical outcome for MSSA.
`Similar results were obtained with the combined results of MSSA and MRSA (see Table
`10-90). The distribution of zone sizes was similar between the combined FOCUS
`Surveillance studies and clinical studies DAP-SST-9801 and'DAP—SST~9901 (see Table
`10-38 and Figure 10-27).
`
`The listing of daptomycin zone sizes correlated with clinical success rates and pathogen
`eradication rates for S. agalactiae and S. pyogenes in the ME population at TOC is shown
`in Table 828. The S. ago/actiae zone sizes ranged from 16 mm to 22 mm and the S.
`pyogenes zones ranged from 18 mm to 26 mm for daptomycin treated subjects. For both S.
`ago/actiae and S. pyogenes, the clinical success and pathogen eradication rates were high
`for daptomycin treated subjects across all zone sizes. The one zone listing with a lower
`pathogen eradication rate was S. aga/actiae 17 mm zone with a pathogen eradication rate
`of 40% (2/5). This result appeared to be an aberration, as the daptomycin treated pathogen
`eradication rates were higher for S. ago/acriae in the zones immediately larger (18 mm)
`and smaller (16mm). S. pyogenes was the most common Streptococcus spp. in trials 9801
`and 9901, and daptomycin produced a high clinical success and pathogen eradication rate
`across all zone sizes. The zone size distribution was similar for the combined SECURE
`, Surveillance studies and trials DAP-SST-9801 and DAP~SST-9901 for S. pyogenes (see
`Figure 10—32,Table lO-45 and Table 10-46) and S. agaiactiae (see Figure 10-34, and Table
`10-48).
`
`The listing of daptomycin zone sizes with clinical success rates and pathogen eradication
`rates for S. dysgalacn'ae subsp. Equisimilis (S. ajrsgalacriae) and viridans streptococci
`group in the ME population at TOC is shown in Table 10-91 and Table 8-29. The S.
`dysgalactiae zone sizes ranged from 19 mm to 26 mm, and the viridans streptococci group
`zones ranged from 16 mm to 28 mm for daptomycin treated subjects. For S. dysgalactiae,
`the clinical success and pathogen eradication rates were 100% for daptomycin treated

`
`subjects across all zone sizes. For the viridans streptococci group, the zone distribution was
`relatively large and the resulting N for any given zone was =3. The clinical success and
`pathogen eradication rates were 7/11 (64%) and 8/ 12 (67%), respectively, against viridans
`streptococci group with zone sizes =21 mm (the median value). The clinical success and
`pathogen eradication rates were 6/9 and 7/10-(700/0), respectively, for viridans streptococci
`group with zone sizes =22 mm. Thus, there appeared to be no pattern of viridans
`streptococci zone size and clinical success or pathogen eradication. The zone size
`distribution was similar for the combined SECURE Surveillance studies and trials DAP-
`
`SST-9801 and DAP-SST-9901 for S. dysgalactiae equisimilis (see Figure 10-36, and Table
`10-50) and the viridans streptococci group (see Figure 10-38, and Table 10-52).
`
`A summary of the daptomycin-treated subjects who were therapeutic failures was
`examined for any trend or pattern corresponding to pathogen or MIC value. There was
`no apparent pattern of clinical failure, microbiologic failure and overall therapeutic
`failure with daptomycin MIC for S. aureus, the streptococci, or E. faecalis.
`
`The correlation of daptomyéin MIC results, zone size, and clinical outcome for daptomycin
`treated subjects is shown in the following scattergrams. The scattergrams are presented for
`S. aureus, the streptococci (combined) and E. faecalis. For each pathogen group, sets of
`two scattergrams are presented. The first shows the MIC and zone correlation for the
`clinical isolates from studies DAP-SST-9801 and DAP—SST-9901 combined. The second
`
`graph in each series shows the baseline infecting pathogens from therapeutic failures. The
`third graph in each series shows the baseline infecting pathogens from therapeutic failures.
`Therapeutic failures are defined as subjects who were sponsor- defined clinical failures or
`microbiological failures at TOC. Note that not all scattergrams are shown here and the
`reader is referred to Microbiology Section 8.6.17 for these scattergrams.
`
`The scattergrams for S. aureus (Figures 12, 13, and 14) and the breakout of MRSA and
`MSSA (Figures 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20) with proposed breakpoint MIC and zone sizes
`are provided. The MIC zone susceptibility for all S. aureus in the two clinical trials (see
`Figure 13), and the clinical failures (Figure 14) show the correlations. The S. aureus in the
`clinical trials are representative of the isolates encountered in the larger surveillance
`studies. The SECURE studies did report a small number ofS. aureus isolates with MIC
`values of l ug/ml, while none were encountered in the clinical trials. For the S. aureus
`from the two clinical trials (see Figure 8-8), there was a narrow MIC zone range from 0.12
`to 0.5 jig/ml: with the majority of the isolates at MIC = 0.25 ug/ml. There was a similar
`narrow distribution of zone sizes from 16 - 25 mm in these isolates. The distribution of S.
`
`aureus MIC and zone sizes for isolates that were therapeutic failures (Figure 14) was very
`similar to the overall MIC/zone distribution of S. aureus from the clinical studies. There
`
`was no clear correlation between MIC/zone distribution and therapeutic failure for S.
`aureus in the clinical trials. With the proposed zone and MIC susceptibility criteria, there
`was a minor error rate of 0.04% in the combined SECURE surveillance set ofisolates and
`no errors in the cSSSI set of isolates.
