Omadacycline
Indications
Omadacycline is used for:
Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia, Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections
Adult Dose
Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia
Indicated for treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) caused by susceptible microorganisms
Loading dose (Day 1): 200 mg IV once OR 100 mg IV x 2 doses
Maintenance dose: 100 mg IV qDay OR 300 mg PO qDay
Treatment duration: 7-14 days
Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections
Indicated for treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSIs) caused by susceptible microorganisms
Treatment duration: 7-14 days
Loading dose
IV (Day 1): 200 mg IV once OR 100 mg IV x 2 doses OR
PO (Days 1 and 2): 450 mg PO qDay x 2 days
Maintenance dose
IV: 100 mg IV qDay OR
PO: 300 mg PO qDay
Child Dose
<18 years: Safety and efficacy not established
Renal Dose
Renal or hepatic impairment
No dosage adjustment required with any severity of renal or hepatic impairment, including patients with ESRD or those receiving dialysis
Administration
Instruct patients not to eat or drink (other than water) 4 hr before or 2 hr after taking omadacycline tablets
Do not to consume dairy products, antacids, or multivitamins for 4 hr after taking tablets
IV Preparation
Lyophilized powder must be reconstituted and then further diluted
Reconstitution
Calculate dose and number of vials needed
Reconstitute each 100-mg vial with 5 mL of sterile water for injection
Do not shake; gently swirl vial contents and let stand until the lyophilized cake has completely dissolved and any foam disperses
Reconstituted solution should appear yellow to dark orange; if not, discard solution
Visually inspect for particulate matter and discoloration before further dilution and administration; if needed, invert vial to dissolve any remaining powder and swirl gently to prevent foaming
Dilution
Within 1 hr of reconstitution, withdraw solution from vial(s) and further dilute by adding to 100-mL bag of 0.9% NaCl or D5W
If diluted infusion bag is refrigerated, remove from refrigeration, place in upright vertical position, and allow bag to come to room temperature 60 minutes before use
IV Administration
Infuse through dedicated IV line or Y-site
If same IV line is used for sequential infusion of several drugs, flush with 0.9% NaCl or D5W before and after omadacycline
100-mg dose: Infuse over 30 minutes
200-mg dose: infuse over 60 minutes
Contra Indications
Hypersensitivity to any tetracyclines
Precautions
Mortality imbalance observed in the CABP clinical trial, with 8 deaths (2%) occurring in patients treated with omadacycline compared with 4 deaths (1%) in patients treated with moxifloxacin; cause not established; all deaths, in both treatment arms, occurred in patients aged >65 years and most patients had multiple comorbidities
Clostridium difficile-associated diarrhea (CDAD) reported with use of nearly all antibacterial agents, and may range in severity from mild diarrhea to fatal colitis; if CDAD is suspected or confirmed, consider discontinuing ongoing antibacterial drug use not directed against C difficile and initiating treatment-appropriate measures
Bacterial resistance to tetracyclines may develop; because of this, use only as indicated
As with other antibiotics, use may result in overgrowth of nonsusceptible organisms, including fungi
Hypersensitivity reactions reported; life-threatening hypersensitivity (anaphylactic) reactions reported with other tetracyclines
Pregnancy-Lactation
Pregnancy
Like other tetracycline-class antibacterial drugs, may cause discoloration of deciduous teeth and reversible inhibition of bone growth when administered during second and third trimesters of pregnancy
Pregnant women should discontinue omadacycline as soon as pregnancy is recognized
Animal data
Administration during organogenesis resulted in fetal loss and/or congenital malformations in pregnant rats and rabbits at 7 times and 3 times the mean AUC exposure, respectively, of the clinical IV dose of 100 mg and the oral dose of 300 mg; reductions in fetal weight occurred in rats at all administered doses
Infertility
Males: Based on animal studies, can lead to impaired spermiation and sperm maturation, resulting in abnormal sperm morphology and poor motility
Females: Based on animal studies, omadacycline affected fertility parameters, resulting in reduced ovulation and increased embryonic loss at intended human exposures
Contraception
Advise women of reproductive potential to use highly effective form of contraception
Lactation
Tetracyclines are excreted in human milk
Because of the potential for serious adverse reactions on bone and tooth development in nursing infants, omadacycline is not recommended in breastfeeding women
Advise women not to breastfeed during treatment and for 4 days after last dose
Interactions
Avoid coadministration with oral retinoids; may have additive effects on increasing intracranial pressure
Coadministration with antacids containing aluminum, calcium, or magnesium; bismuth subsalicylate; and iron-containing preparations decrease tetracycline absorption, which may decrease efficacy; separate doses
May interfere with bacteriocidal action of penicillin; avoid coadministration
May depress plasma prothrombin activity, which may increase bleeding risk in patients who are on anticoagulant therapy
Side Effects
Side effects of Omadacycline :
Mode of Action
Aminomethylcycline antibacterial within the tetracycline drug class
Binds to the 30S ribosomal subunit and blocks protein synthesis
Active in vitro against gram-positive bacteria expressing tetracycline resistance active efflux pumps (tetK and tet L) and ribosomal protection proteins (tet M)
In general, considered bacteriostatic; however, has demonstrated bactericidal activity against some isolates of S pneumoniae and H influenzae
