Dosage Modifications

Renal or hepatic impairment

  • No dosage adjustment required with any severity of renal or hepatic impairment, including patients with ESRD or those receiving dialysis

Dosing Considerations

Bacterial-resistance

  • To reduce development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain effectiveness of omadacycline and other antibacterial drugs, use only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria
  • In absence of susceptibility data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to empiric selection of therapy

Susceptible microorganisms

  • CABP
    • Streptococcus pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible isolates), Haemophilus influenzae, Haemophilus parainfluenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, and Chlamydophila pneumoniae
  • ABSSSI
    • Staphylococcus aureus (methicillin-susceptible and methacillin-resistant isolates), Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus anginosus grp (includes Streptococcus anginosus, Streptococcus intermedius, and Streptococcus constellatus), Enterococcus faecalis, Enterobacter cloacae, and Klebsiella pneumoniae

<18 years: Safety and efficacy not established

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

The cause of the mortality imbalance has not been established

All deaths, in both treatment arms, occurred in patients aged >65 yr; most patients had multiple comorbidities

              Warnings

              Contraindications

              Hypersensitivity to any tetracyclines

              Cautions

              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 (see Contraindications)

              Tetracycline class effects

              • Intracranial hypertension, pseudotumor cerebri, antianabolic action reported in adults and adolescents associated with tetracycline use; clinical manifestations include headache, blurred vision, and papilledema
              • Photosensitivity manifested by an exaggerated sunburn reaction observed with tetracyclines; instruct patients to minimize or avoid exposure to natural or artificial sunlight
              • Increased BUN, azotemia, acidosis, hyperphosphatemia, pancreatitis, and abnormal liver function tests may occur
              • Discontinue if these adverse effects suspected

              Teratogenic effects

              • Can cause fetal harm if used during pregnancy
              • Use during tooth and bone development
                • Use during tooth development (last half of pregnancy, infancy, and childhood to age 8 years) may cause permanent discoloration of the teeth (yellow-grey-brown); enamel hypoplasia reported with tetracyclines; advise patient of potential risk
                • May cause reversible inhibition of bone growth during pregnancy, infancy, and early childhood
                • All tetracyclines form a stable calcium complex in any bone-forming tissue
                • Decreased fibula growth rate observed in premature infants given PO tetracycline in doses of 25 mg/kg q6hr; reversible when drug discontinued
                • Also see Pregnancy

              Drug interaction overview

              • 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

              Pregnancy

              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

              Pregnancy Categories

              A: Generally acceptable. Controlled studies in pregnant women show no evidence of fetal risk.

              B: May be acceptable. Either animal studies show no risk but human studies not available or animal studies showed minor risks and human studies done and showed no risk.

              C: Use with caution if benefits outweigh risks. Animal studies show risk and human studies not available or neither animal nor human studies done.

              D: Use in LIFE-THREATENING emergencies when no safer drug available. Positive evidence of human fetal risk.

              X: Do not use in pregnancy. Risks involved outweigh potential benefits. Safer alternatives exist.

              NA: Information not available.

              Oral 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 Compatibilities

              0.9% NaCl

              D5W

              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
