---|---|
Experimental: Ceftaroline fosamil |
Drug: Ceftaroline fosamil
Treatment Group 1: Drug: Ceftaroline fosamil Children ≥ 6 months: IV ceftaroline fosamil 12 mg/kg for subjects weighing ≤ 33 kg or 400 mg for subjects weighing > 33 kg will be infused over 60 (± 10) minutes every 8 hours (q8h) (± 1 hour) Children < 6 months: Ceftaroline fosamil 8 mg/kg over 60 (± 10) minutes q8h (± 1 hour) Other Names:
Drug: amoxicillin clavulanate Oral Switch for Treatment Groups 1 and 2: PO amoxicillin clavulanate 90 mg/kg/day divided q12h in subjects with infections due to susceptible organisms on or after Study Day 4 (a minimum of 7 IV doses required if randomized to ceftaroline.) |
Active Comparator: Ceftriaxone |
Drug: Ceftriaxone
Treatment group 2: 75 mg/kg/day up to 4 g/day IV in equally divided doses, each infused over 30 (± 10) minutes q12hr (± 2 hours) Drug: amoxicillin clavulanate Oral Switch for Treatment Groups 1 and 2: PO amoxicillin clavulanate 90 mg/kg/day divided q12h in subjects with infections due to susceptible organisms on or after Study Day 4 (a minimum of 7 IV doses required if randomized to ceftaroline.) |
- Evaluate the safety and tolerability of ceftaroline versus ceftriaxone in pediatric subjects age 2 months to <18 years with CABP requiring hospitalization [ Time Frame: Between 1 and 50 days. ]Evaluate the safety and tolerability of IV administered ceftaroline fosamil in children with CABP. Summaries of AEs, SAEs, deaths, laboratory evaluations (hematology studies, comprehensive and metabolic panel), vital signs.
- Evaluate the efficacy of ceftaroline versus ceftriaxone in pediatric subjects ages 2 months to under 18 years with CABP. [ Time Frame: Between 4 and 50 days ]
- Clinical response by subject and by baseline pathogen at Study Day 4 in the Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) and Microbiological modified Intent-to Treat (mMITT) Populations
- Clinical stability by subject and by baseline pathogen at Study Day 4 in the MITT and mMITT Populations
- Clinical outcome at EOIV, EOT, and TOC in the MITT and Clinically Evaluable (CE) Populations
- Clinical and microbiological outcomes by subject and by pathogen at TOC in the mMITT and Microbiologically Evaluable (ME) Populations
- Clinical relapse at LFU in the MITT Population
- Emergent infections in the mMITT Population
- To evaluate the pharmacokinetics of ceftaroline in pediatric subjects ages 2 months to under 18 years. [ Time Frame: Between 4 and 50 days ]Analyze concentrations of ceftaroline, ceftaroline fosamil (prodrug), and ceftaroline M-1 (inactive metabolite) in plasma, and, if available, in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF; if collected as part of standard of care).
