Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Cohort A
S. aureus on at least 1 blood culture within 72 hours of beginning study drug
|
Drug: Ceftaroline fosamil
Ceftaroline fosamil 600 mg intravenous (IV) infused over 60 (± 10) minutes every 8 hours (q8h) (± 1 hour) (dosing may be adjusted for renal function)
Other Names:
|
Cohort B
MRSA on a baseline blood culture and on at least 1 additional blood culture after at least 72 hours of vancomycin and/or daptomycin treatment
|
Drug: Ceftaroline fosamil
Ceftaroline fosamil 600 mg intravenous (IV) infused over 60 (± 10) minutes every 8 hours (q8h) (± 1 hour) (dosing may be adjusted for renal function)
Other Names:
|
- Evaluate the safety of ceftaroline fosamil in adult Subjects (≥ 18 years of age) with Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia or with MRSA Bacteremia persisting after at least 72 hours of vancomycin and/or daptomycin treatment [ Time Frame: 60 days following completion of antibacterial therapy and discharge from the hospital, anticipated between 74 to 119 days ]
Efficacy outcome measures:
- Time to clearance of bacteremia
- Time to defervescence
- Clinical outcome
- Mortality
- Readmission
- Evaluate the efficacy of ceftaroline fosamil in adult Subjects (≥ 18 years of age) with Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia or with MRSA Bacteremia persisting after at least 72 hours of vancomycin and/or daptomycin treatment [ Time Frame: Between 3 and 119 days ]
Safety evaluations will be conducted and assessments will include:
- Adverse events including deaths will be evaluated
- Laboratory: complete blood count (CBC) with differential and chemistry panel
