1.3 Usage To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of NUZYRA and other antibacterial drugs, NUZYRA should be used only to treat or prevent infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria.
When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy.

6.1 Clinical Trials Experience Because clinical trials are conducted under widely varying conditions, adverse reaction rates observed in the clinical trials of a drug cannot be directly compared to rates in the clinical trials of another drug and may not reflect the rates observed in practice.
Overview of the Safety Evaluation of NUZYRA NUZYRA was evaluated in three Phase 3 pivotal clinical trials (Trial 1, Trial 2 and Trial 3) and one Phase 3 postmarketing clinical trial (Trial 4).
These trials included one pivotal Phase 3 trial in CABP patients (Trial 1), one Phase 3 postmarketing trial in CABP patients (Trial 4), and two pivotal Phase 3 trials in ABSSSI patients (Trial 2 and Trial 3).
Across all Phase 3 trials, a total of 1409 patients were treated with NUZYRA.
In Trials 2 and 3, 691 patients with ABSSSI received NUZYRA, of which 368 patients were treated with only oral NUZYRA.
In Trials 1 and 4, 718 patients with CABP were treated with NUZYRA.
Clinical Trial Experience in Patients with Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia Trial 1 was a Phase 3 CABP trial that enrolled 774 adult patients, 386 randomized to NUZYRA (382 received at least one dose of NUZYRA and 4 patients did not receive the study drug) and 388 randomized to moxifloxacin (all 388 received at least one dose of moxifloxacin).
The mean age of patients treated with NUZYRA was 61 years (range 19 to 97 years) and 42% were greater than or equal to 65 years of age.
Overall, patients treated with NUZYRA were predominantly male (53.7%), white (92.4%), and had a mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.3 kg/m 2 .
Approximately 47% of NUZYRA treated patients had CrCl <90 ml/min.
Patients were administered an IV to oral switch dosage regimen of NUZYRA.
The total treatment duration was 7 to 14 days.
Mean duration of IV treatment was 5.7 days and mean total duration of treatment was 9.6 days in both treatment arms.
Trial 4 was a Phase 3 CABP trial that enrolled 670 adult patients, 336 randomized to NUZYRA (all 336 received at least one dose of NUZYRA) and 334 randomized to moxifloxacin (332 received at least one dose of moxifloxacin and 2 patients did not receive the study drug).
The mean age of patients treated with NUZYRA was 63.3 years (range 23 to 96 years) and 47.6% were greater than or equal to 65 years of age.
Overall, patients treated with NUZYRA were predominantly male (53.0%), white (99.7%), and had a mean body mass index (BMI) of 27.0 kg/m 2 .
Approximately 54% of NUZYRA treated patients had CrCl <90 ml/min.
Patients were administered an IV to oral switch dosage regimen of NUZYRA.
The total treatment duration was 7 to 10 days with up to 14 days allowed for patients with positive blood cultures at the Screening visit.
Mean duration of IV treatment was 6.6 days and mean total duration of treatment was 9.0 days in both treatment arms.
Serious Adverse Reactions and Adverse Reactions Leading to Discontinuation In Trial 1, a total of 23/382 (6.0%) patients treated with NUZYRA and 26/388 (6.7%) patients treated with moxifloxacin experienced serious adverse reactions.
There were eight deaths (2%) in 382 patients treated with NUZYRA as compared to four deaths (1%) in 388 patients treated with moxifloxacin.
Discontinuation of treatment due to any adverse reactions occurred in 21/382 (5.5%) patients treated with NUZYRA and 27/388 (7.0%) patients treated with moxifloxacin.
In Trial 4, a total of 17/336 (5.1%) patients treated with NUZYRA and 15/332 (4.5%) patients treated with moxifloxacin experienced serious adverse reactions.
There were six deaths (1.8%) in each treatment group (6/336 in the NUZYRA group, and 6/332 in the moxifloxacin group).
Discontinuation of treatment due to any adverse reactions occurred in 9/336 (2.7%) patients treated with NUZYRA and 9/332 (2.7%) patients treated with moxifloxacin.
