  • <30 mL/min for subjects with severe renal impairment
  • receiving hemodialysis three times a week for subjects with end stage renal impairment

• If female, the subject is at least 2 years postmenopausal, surgically sterile or practicing effective birth control, and is not pregnant or lactating

• For subjects with renal impairment, has not been on a stable dose of concomitant medications for at least 2 weeks prior to study start or is taking any medication that would interfere with the evaluation of televancin in this study
• Has received an experimental agent within 30 days or ten half-lives, whichever is longer, prior to study drug administration
• Has had any significant blood loss, donated one unit (450 mL) of blood or more, or received a transfusion of any blood or blood products within 60 days or donated plasma within 7 days prior to admission
