Brief Summary: RATIONALE Giving the antibiotic teicoplanin by infusion and allowing bacteria to be exposed to the antibiotic for a longer period of time may be effective in preventing or controlling septicemia

PURPOSE Randomized clinical trial to compare two different methods of giving teicoplanin in treating septicemia in patients who are receiving chemotherapy through a central venous catheter
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Compare the response and cure rate of coagulase-negative staphylococcal septicemia in patients receiving chemotherapy through a central venous catheter treated with 2 different schedules of teicoplanin

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to participating center and number of central venous catheter lumens 1 vs 2 Patients are randomized to one of two treatment arms

Arm I Patients receive teicoplanin IV bolus every 12 hours for 3 doses and then once daily for 5 doses total of 7 days
Arm II Patients receive teicoplanin IV over 2 hours andor by antibiotic lock every 12 hours for 3 doses and then once daily for 5 doses total of 7 days

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 490-1360 patients will be accrued for this study within 22-62 years
