Summary

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

Conditions

Interventions

DRUG

Tigecycline once daily regimen

DRUG

Usual doses of tigecycline

Tigecycline standard dose (100 mg loading dose then 50 mg every 12 hours) or (200 mg loading dose then 100 mg every 12 hours). For hepatic patients with Child-Pugh score (C), the loading dose is 100 mg then 25 mg every 12 hours
