Arm | Intervention/treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: Single Dose Phase: Cefiderocol
Participants will receive a single dose of cefiderocol administered intravenously (IV) on Day 1, in addition to standard of care. Participants weighing less than 34 kilograms (kg) will receive 60 milligrams (mg)/kg cefiderocol and participants ≥34 kg will receive 2000 mg.
|
Drug: Cefiderocol
Administered intravenously over 3 hours
Other Names:
Drug: Standard of Care Standard of care administered will be selected by the investigator based on the suspected or confirmed pathogen(s) for the infection in accordance with local standards. |
Experimental: Multiple Dose Phase: Cefiderocol
Participants will receive cefiderocol administered via IV every 8 hours for an expected 5 to 14 days in addition to standard of care. Participants weighing less than 34 kg will receive 60 mg/kg cefiderocol and participants ≥ 34 kg will receive 2000 mg. Dosage may be adjusted based on renal function.

Drug: Cefiderocol
Administered intravenously over 3 hours
Other Names:
Drug: Standard of Care Standard of care administered will be selected by the investigator based on the suspected or confirmed pathogen(s) for the infection in accordance with local standards. |
Active Comparator: Multiple Dose Phase: Standard of Care Alone
Participants will receive standard of care treatment according to local standards.

Drug: Standard of Care
Standard of care administered will be selected by the investigator based on the suspected or confirmed pathogen(s) for the infection in accordance with local standards. |

Ages Eligible for Study: | 3 Months to 17 Years (Child) |
Sexes Eligible for Study: | All |
Accepts Healthy Volunteers: | No |
Inclusion Criteria:
- Participant's parent(s) or legally authorized representative(s) (LAR) provides written informed consent in accordance with regional- and country-specific laws and regulations
- Participant provides written informed assent, when feasible (age of assent to be determined by institutional review board/independent ethics committee [IRBs/IECs] or be consistent with local legal requirements)
- Hospitalized participant is 3 months to < 18 years of age at the time written informed consent/assent is obtained for the multiple-dose phase. Hospitalized participant is 3 months to < 12 years of age at the time written informed consent/assent is obtained for the single-dose phase.
-
Single-dose phase: Participant has a suspected or confirmed infection type (including but not limited to cUTI, complicated intra-abdominal infections [cIAI], pneumonia, HABP/VABP, and sepsis or bloodstream infections [BSI]) that requires hospitalization for treatment with IV antibiotics.
Multiple-dose phase: Participant has a suspected or confirmed cUTI, HABP, or VABP that requires hospitalization for treatment with IV antibiotics
- If participant is a sexually active female of childbearing potential and has reached menarche or Tanner stage 3, participant agrees to use barrier contraception (including condom, diaphragm, or cervical cap) with spermicide or agrees to use a highly effective method of contraception (including contraceptive implant, injectable contraceptive, combination oral contraceptive, or an intrauterine [IUD] contraceptive device) from Screening up to 28 days after administration of the last dose of cefiderocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Participant has a documented history of any hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any β-lactam antibiotic (Note: for β-lactams, a history of a mild rash followed by uneventful re-exposure is not a contraindication to enrollment.)
- Multiple-dose only: Participant has an infection caused only by a confirmed Gram-positive pathogen.
- Participant has a suspected or confirmed central nervous system (CNS) infection (for example, meningitis, brain abscess, shunt infection) or osteomyelitis (which would require prolonged antibiotic therapy).
- Participant has cystic fibrosis.
-
Single-dose phase: Participant has moderate or severe renal impairment based on estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (based on the Schwartz equation if ≥ 3 months to < 1 year of age and modified Bedside Schwartz equation if ≥ 1 to < 18 years of age) of < 60 milliliter (mL)/ minute (min)/1.73 square meters (m^2)² at Screening .
Multiple-dose phase: Participant has an eGFR (based on the Schwartz equation if ≥ 3 months to < 1 year of age and modified Bedside Schwartz equation if ≥ 1 to < 18 years of age) of < 15 mL/min/1.73 m² at Screening.
