Safety
Well-tolerated and a favorable safety profile
Significantly reduced nephrotoxicity vs. colistin1
Incidence of nephrotoxicity as measured by the RIFLE criteria* at any post baseline visit1
RIFLE (risk, injury, failure, loss, or end-stage renal disease) measured by creatinine level or glomerular filtration rate, but not urinary output. Nephrotoxicity defined as meeting any of the RIFLE criteria at any post-baseline visit; if patients had multiple RIFLE events, the patient was counted only once at the highest severity. No patients in this study experienced end-stage renal disease.
For patients with creatinine clearance <45 mL/min or ≥130 mL/min, please see Full Prescribing Information.

Liver test abnormalities includes the following adverse reactions: liver function test abnormal, hepatic function abnormal, increased transaminases, ALT increased, and AST increased; Acute kidney injury includes the following adverse reactions: renal impairment, blood Cr increased, toxic nephropathy, renal failure and acute kidney injury.
Adverse reactions leading to discontinuation of treatment occurred in 11% of XACDURO patients vs. 16% of colistin patients. One patient treated with XACDURO developed anaphylactic shock which led to discontinuation of treatment.
