TROVAN SUMMARY
TROVAN® Tablets
(trovafloxacin mesylate)
TROVAN® I.V.
(alatrofloxacin mesylate injection)
For Intravenous Infusion
TROVAN Tablets contain trovafloxacin mesylate, a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial agent for oral administration.
TROVAN is indicated for the treatment of patients initiating therapy in in-patient health care facilities (i.e., hospitals and long term nursing care facilities) with serious, life- or limb-threatening infections caused by susceptible strains of the designated microorganisms in the conditions listed below. (See DOSAGE AND ADMINISTRATION.)
Nosocomial pneumonia caused by Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, or Staphylococcus aureus. As with other antimicrobials, where Pseudomonas aeruginosa is a documented or presumptive pathogen, combination therapy with either an aminoglycoside or aztreonam may be clinically indicated.
Community acquired pneumonia caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Staphylococcus aureus, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Legionella pneumophila, or Chlamydia pneumoniae.
Complicated intra-abdominal infections, including post-surgical infections caused by Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis, viridans group streptococci, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Peptostreptococcus species, or Prevotella species.
Gynecologic and pelvic infections including endomyometritis, parametritis, septic abortion and post-partum infections caused by Escherichia coli, Bacteroides fragilis, viridans group streptococci, Enterococcus faecalis, Streptococcus agalactiae, Peptostreptococcus species, Prevotella species, or Gardnerella vaginalis.
Complicated skin and skin structure infections, including diabetic foot infections, caused by Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus agalactiae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, or Proteus mirabilis. NOTE: TROVAN has not been studied in the treatment of osteomyelitis. (See WARNINGS.)

NEWS HIGHLIGHTS
Published Studies Related to Trovan (Trovafloxacin)
Trovafloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic with hepatotoxic potential, causes mitochondrial peroxynitrite stress in a mouse model of underlying mitochondrial dysfunction. [2010.10.06]
Trovafloxacin (TVX) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic whose therapeutic use was severely restricted due to an unacceptable risk of idiosyncratic liver injury... These data indicate that TVX enhances hepatic mitochondrial peroxynitrite stress in mice with underlying increased basal levels of superoxide, leading to the disruption of critical mitochondrial enzymes and gene regulation.
Evaluation of azithromycin, trovafloxacin and grepafloxacin as prophylaxis for experimental murine melioidosis. [2010.07]
The efficacies of the azalide azithromycin and the fluoroquinolones trovafloxacin and grepafloxacin for pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis of infection with high or low challenge doses of Burkholderia pseudomallei strain 576 were assessed in an experimental mouse model.
Evaluation of azithromycin, trovafloxacin and grepafloxacin as prophylaxis against experimental murine Brucella melitensis infection. [2010.07]
The prophylactic potential of the azalide azithromycin as well as the fluoroquinolones trovafloxacin and grepafloxacin was assessed for the control of infection with Brucella melitensis in an experimental mouse model, determined by reduction in splenic bacterial burden...
Coexposure of mice to trovafloxacin and lipopolysaccharide, a model of idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity, results in a unique gene expression profile and interferon gamma-dependent liver injury. [2009.01]
The antibiotic trovafloxacin (TVX) has caused severe idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity in people, whereas levofloxacin (LVX) has not. Mice cotreated with TVX and lipopolysaccharide (LPS), but not with LVX and LPS, develop severe hepatocellular necrosis...
Lipopolysaccharide and trovafloxacin coexposure in mice causes idiosyncrasy-like liver injury dependent on tumor necrosis factor-alpha. [2007.11]
Idiosyncratic adverse drug reactions (IADRs) occur in a small subset of patients, are unrelated to the pharmacological action of the drug, and occur without an obvious relationship to dose or duration of drug exposure... The results suggest that the model in mice is able to distinguish between drugs with and without the propensity to cause idiosyncratic liver injury and that the hepatotoxicity is dependent on TNFalpha.
Clinical Trials Related to Trovan (Trovafloxacin)
Combination Therapy With Fluoroquinolone in Staphylococcus Aureus Bacteremia [Completed]
To study whether fluoroquinolone (trovafloxacin or levofloxacin), added to standard
treatment, could reduce the high mortality and complication rates in Staphylococcus aureus
bacteremia.
