• 2 other identifiers: CR005140BAP00248
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 106
• Locations: 0 countries

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.

Conditions

Pneumonia

Keywords

Ceftobiprole medocaril; Nosocomial Pneumonia; Ventilator-Associated Pneumonia; Cephalosporins; Methicillin-Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus

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 the randomization
