Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

To compare the clinical response (efficacy) and the safety of the tigecycline once daily regimen versus the standard regimen (twice daily regimen). Clinical response was categorized as a cure, failure of treatment, or indeterminate outcome.24 Treatment success (Cure): defined as resolution of signs/symptoms of infection, microbiological cure (negative cultures after tigecycline use), improvement of infection markers (leukocytic count, C reactive protein, and procalcitonin).

Treatment failure: defined as persistence of signs/symptoms of infection despite antimicrobial therapy, deterioration of infection markers (leukocytic count, C reactive protein, and Procalcitonin).

Indeterminate response: subjects who do not have an outcome determination for reasons unrelated to the study drug or infection (e.g., loss to follow-up, withdrawal of consent, etc.) Safety will be assessed by the incidence of adverse events especially which leads to treatment discontinuation.36

Tigecycline once daily regimen

Tigecycline once-daily regimen (100 mg once daily) or (200 mg once daily). For hepatic patients with Child-Pugh score (C), the loading dose is 100 mg then 50 mg every 24 hours.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Tigecycline once daily regimen

Intervention Type DRUG

Tigecycline once-daily regimen (100 mg once daily) or (200 mg once daily). For hepatic patients with a Child-Pugh score (C), the loading dose is 100 mg, then 50 mg every 24 hours.
