NCT00210964

Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical cure rate of ceftobiprole medocaril (the water-soluble prodrug \[form\] of ceftobiprole) referred to as ceftobiprole versus a comparator in the treatment of patients with nosocomial pneumonia.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Clinical cure rate (the ratio of the number of clinically cured patients to the total number of patients in the population)

    7 to 14 days after the end-of-therapy (EOT)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Microbiological eradication rate

    At the TOC visit defined as 7-14 days after the EOT

  • Clinical cure rate

    At the late follow-up (LFU) visit defined as 28 to 35 days after the EOT

  • Microbiological eradication rates

    At the LFU visit defined as 28 to 35 days after the EOT

  • Pneumonia-specific mortality rates

    Within 30 days after randomization
