Xydalba is a brand name for Dalbavancin. The medicine, its uses, side effects and dosage are the same regardless of brand.
Used for: Xydalba is indicated for the treatment of acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections (ABSSSI) in adults and paediatric patients from birth (see sections 4.4 and 5.1). Consideration should be given to official guidance on the appropriate use of antibacterial agents.

2). Paediatric patients The recommended dose of dalbavancin is a single dose based on the age and weight of the patient. 2). 3 Renal impairment Dose adjustments are not required for adult and paediatric patients with mild or moderate renal impairment (creatinine clearance 30 to 79 ml/min).
Dose adjustments are not required for adult patients receiving regularly scheduled haemodialysis (3 times/week), and dalbavancin may be administered without regard to the timing of haemodialysis. 2). 5 mL/kg/h, or requirement for dialysis.
2, but no recommendation on a posology can be made. Hepatic impairment No dose adjustment of dalbavancin is recommended for patients with mild hepatic impairment (Child-Pugh A). 2). Method of administration Intravenous use Xydalba must be reconstituted and then further diluted prior to administration by intravenous infusion over a 30 - minute period.

Summary of the safety profile In Phase 2/3 clinical studies, 2 473 adult patients received dalbavancin administered as either a single infusion of 1 500 mg or as 1 000 mg followed one week later by 500 mg. 3 %) and were generally of mild or moderate severity.
Tabulated list of adverse reactions (Table 1) The following adverse reactions have been identified in Phase 2/3 clinical trials with dalbavancin. Adverse reactions are classified according to System Organ Class and frequency. Frequency categories are derived according to the following conventions: very common (≥ 1/10), common (≥ 1/100 to < 1/10), uncommon (≥ 1/1 000 to < 1/100), rare (≥ 1/10 000 to < 1/1 000).

Hypersensitivity reactions Dalbavancin should be administered with caution in patients known to be hypersensitive to other glycopeptides since cross-hypersensitivity may occur. If an allergic reaction to dalbavancin occurs, administration should be discontinued and appropriate therapy for the allergic reaction should be instituted.
Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile-associated diarrhoea Antibacterial-associated colitis and pseudomembranous colitis have been reported with the use of nearly all antibiotics and may range in severity from mild to life threatening.
8). In such circumstance, the discontinuation of dalbavancin and the use of supportive measures together with the administration of specific treatment for Clostridioides (formerly Clostridium) difficile should be considered. These patients must never be treated with medicinal products that suppress the peristalsis.
Infusion-related reactions Xydalba is to be administered via intravenous infusion, using a total infusion time of 30 minutes to minimise the risk of infusion-related reactions. Rapid intravenous infusions of glycopeptide 4 antibacterial agents can cause reactions including flushing of the upper body, urticaria, pruritus, and/or rash.
Stopping or slowing the infusion may result in cessation of these reactions. Renal impairment Information on the efficacy and safety of dalbavancin in patients with creatinine clearance < 30 ml/min is limited. 2). 5 mL/kg/h, or requirement for dialysis.
1). Non-susceptible organisms The use of antibiotics may promote the overgrowth of non-susceptible micro-organisms. If superinfection occurs during therapy, appropriate measures should be taken. Limitations of the clinical data There is limited data on safety and efficacy of dalbavancin when administered for more than two doses (one week apart).
In the major trials in ABSSSI the types of infections treated were confined to cellulitis/erysipelas, abscesses and wound infections only. There is no experience with dalbavancin in the treatment of severely immunocompromised patients.

Paediatric population The safety of dalbavancin was evaluated in one Phase 3 clinical trial which included 169 paediatric patients from birth to less than 18 years of age with ABSSSI (or suspected or confirmed sepsis if aged less than 3 months old) treated with dalbavancin (91 patients treated with a single dose of dalbavancin 7 and 78 patients, all of them aged 3 months and older, treated with a two-dose regimen of dalbavancin).
Out of these 169 paediatric patients, 58 were adolescents (12 years and older), 49 were children from 6 years to less than 12 years, 35 were 2 years to less than 6 years, 17 were aged 3 months to less than 2 years, and 10 were under 3 months of age.
Additionally, in a Phase 1, open-label, pharmacokinetic trial, a single-dose administration of dalbavancin was evaluated in 8 patients under 3 months of age. Across these two clinical studies, 18 children were under 3 months of age, including 3 preterm and 5 term neonates.
Overall, the safety findings of dalbavancin in these paediatric patients were similar to those observed in adults. Reporting of suspected adverse reactions Reporting suspected adverse reactions after authorisation of the medicinal product is important.
It allows continued monitoring of the benefit/risk balance of the medicinal product. Healthcare professionals are asked to report any suspected adverse reactions via the national reporting system listed in Appendix V.
