Dalbavancin Study Results to be Presented in Three Posters at the 53rd Annual ICAAC Meeting
September 03 2013 - 3:03PM
Durata Therapeutics, Inc. (Nasdaq:DRTX) today announced that data
from two Phase 3 clinical trials of the company's lead product
candidate, dalbavancin, will be presented in two posters at the
53rd Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents and
Chemotherapy (ICAAC) in Denver, September 10-13, 2013. The trials
were conducted via a Special Protocol Assessment based on the FDA's
Draft Guidance for Developing Drugs for the Treatment of Acute
Bacterial Skin and Skin Structure Infections (ABSSSI). Dalbavancin
is under investigation for the treatment of ABSSSI caused by
susceptible Gram-positive microorganisms. These data will be used
to support the company's anticipated submission of a New Drug
Application to the U.S. Food and Drug Administration at the end of
September 2013.
In addition, R.M. Alden Research Lab will present in vitro data
regarding the activity of dalbavancin against isolates obtained
from osteomyelitis infections. This research was supported by a
grant from Durata Therapeutics.
The following posters will be presented:

About Dalbavancin
Dalbavancin is an intravenous antibiotic product candidate under
investigation for once-weekly dosing, which we believe may
facilitate the treatment of patients with ABSSSI in both the
in-patient and out-patient settings, potentially reducing the
length of a patient's hospital stay or avoiding hospital admission
altogether, with an impact on the overall cost of care for these
patients.
