Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Clinical Cure Rate at Test of Cure (TOC) (MITT Population)
Cure: Total resolution of all signs and symptoms of the baseline infection, or improvement of the infection such that no further antimicrobial therapy was necessary. Failure: Requirement of alternative antimicrobial therapy for primary infection of cSSSI due to inadequate response, recurrence, new infection at the same site; treatment-limiting adverse event (AE); requirement for surgery due to failure of study drug; diagnosis of osteomyelitis after Study Day 8; or death caused by cSSSI. Indeterminate: Inability to determine an outcome
8-15 days after the end of treatment
Clinical Cure Rate of Ceftaroline Compared With That of Vancomycin Plus Aztreonam Treatment at TOC in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population
8-15 days after last dose of study drug
Secondary Outcomes (6)
Microbiological Success Rate at the TOC Visit
8-15 days after last dose of study drug
Clinical Response at the End of Therapy (EOT) Visit
Last day of study drug administration
Clinical and Microbiological Response by Pathogen at the TOC Visit
8-15 days after last dose of study drug
Clinical Relapse at the Late Follow Up (LFU) Visit
21 to 35 days after the last dose of study drug
Microbiological Reinfection or Recurrence at the LFU Visit
21 to 35 days after the last dose of study drug
- +1 more secondary outcomes
Study Arms (2)
Ceftaroline for Injection
EXPERIMENTALIV Vancomycin and IV Aztreonam
ACTIVE COMPARATORInterventions
vancomycin at 1 g parenteral infused over 60 minutes followed by aztreonam 1 g infused over 60 minutes, every 12 hours, for 5 to 14 days.
600 mg parenteral infused over 60 minutes, every 12 hours for 5 to 14 days
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Skin and skin structure infection (SSSI) that involves deeper soft tissue or requires significant surgical intervention, or cellulitis or abscess on lower extremity which occurs in subjects with diabetes mellitus or well-documented peripheral vascular disease.
You may not qualify if:
- Prior treatment of current cSSSI with an antimicrobial.
- Failure of vancomycin or aztreonam as therapy for the current cSSSI, or prior isolation of an organism with in vitro resistance to vancomycin or aztreonam.
