Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (2)
Clinical Response at Study Day 4 in the Modified Intent-to-Treat (MITT) Population
Clinical response was defined as meeting all of the following criteria: * Symptom Improvement - Improvement in at least 2 and no worsening of any of the following symptoms compared to baseline: * Cough * Dyspnea * Sputum production * Chest pain * Clinical Stability (per Infectious Diseases Society of America/American Thoracic Society (IDSA/ATS) guidelines; Mandell et al, 2007): * Temperature ≤ 37.8°C * Heart rate ≤ 100 beats/min * Respiratory rate ≤ 24 breaths/min * Systolic blood pressure ≥ 90 mmHg * Oxygen saturation ≥ 90% * Confusion/disorientation absent
Study Day 4
Clinical Outcome at Test of Cure (TOC) in the MITT Population
An assessment of clinical outcome was made by the Investigator at TOC. The clinical outcome categories were: Cure: Resolution of all acute signs and symptoms of CABP or improvement to such an extent that no further antimicrobial therapy was required Failure: Subjects who meet either of the following criteria: * Incomplete resolution or worsening of CABP signs and symptoms or development of new CABP signs or symptoms requiring alternative nonstudy antimicrobial therapy * Death in which CABP is contributory Indeterminate: Study data are not available for evaluation of efficacy for any reason, including: * Death in which CABP is clearly noncontributory * Lost to follow-up * Extenuating circumstances precluding classification as a cure or failure A favorable clinical outcome at Test-of Cure (TOC) was clinical cure.
Test of Cure, an average of 3 weeks

Study Arms (2)
Ceftaroline
EXPERIMENTALCeftaroline fosamil 600 mg Intravenous (IV) administration over 60 minutes, every 8 hours (q8h); dosing to be adjusted for renal function; treatment duration 5 to 14 days
Ceftriaxone plus vancomycin
ACTIVE COMPARATORCeftriaxone 2 g IV over 30 minutes once per day (q24h) plus vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV every 12 hours (q12h) initially and then dose adjusted based on trough concentrations; treatment duration 5 to 14 days
Interventions
Ceftaroline fosamil 600 mg IV over 60 minutes q8h; treatment duration 5 to 14 days
Ceftriaxone 2g IV over 30 minutes q24h plus vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV q12h initially and then dose adjusted based on trough concentrations; treatment duration 5 to 14 days
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female, ≥ 18 years old
- Presence of CABP requiring hospitalization
- Presence of CABP meeting the following criteria:
- I. confirmed pneumonia (new or progressive pulmonary) II. Acute illness (≤ 7 days' duration) with at least 3 clinical signs or symptoms consistent with a lower respiratory tract infection
- MRSA Risk Factors
- MRSA-positive blood culture or respiratory specimen or a risk factor for MRSA such as a history of colonization with MRSA
You may not qualify if:
- History of any hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any β-lactam antimicrobial
- Suspected or microbiologically-documented infection with a pathogen known to be resistant to any of the study drugs
- Non-infectious causes of pulmonary infiltrates (eg, pulmonary embolism, chemical pneumonitis from aspiration, hypersensitivity pneumonia, congestive heart failure)
- More than 24 hours of potentially effective systemic antibacterial therapy for CABP within 96 hours before randomization
- End-stage renal disease \[Creatinine Clearance (CrCl) \< 15\], including hemodialysis
- Evidence of significant hepatic, hematological, or immunocompromising condition
