Abstract


 CADTH reimbursement reviews are comprehensive assessments of the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness, as well as patient and clinician perspectives, of a drug or drug class.
 The assessments inform non-binding recommendations that help guide the reimbursement decisions of Canada's federal, provincial, and territorial governments, with the exception of Quebec.
 This review assesses Dalbavancin (Xydalba) for injection, 500 mg (as dalbavancin hydrochloride) per vial, lyophilized powder for solution, IV infusion.
 Indication: Treatment of adults with acute bacterial skin and skin structure infections caused by susceptible isolates of the following gram-positive micro-organisms: Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-susceptible and methicillin-resistant strains), Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae, Streptococcus dysgalactiae, Streptococcus anginosus group (including Streptococcus anginosus, Streptococcus intermedius, Streptococcus constellatus), and Enterococcus faecalis (vancomycin-susceptible strains).
