US FDA staff--Targanta drug seems similar to rival

NEW YORK, Nov 17 (Reuters) - Targanta Therapeutics Corp's clinical trial data shows its antibiotic is about as safe and effective as another similar drug already on the U.S. market, Food and Drug Administration staff said on Monday.

In general, the results for Targanta's oritavancin are comparable to those for vancomycin, another antibiotic sold by several other companies, FDA staff said in documents released ahead of an advisory committee meeting on Wednesday.

The FDA is seeking its adviser's recommendation on whether to approve the drug to treat complicated skin infections. (Reporting by Susan Heavey)
