Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: Characterization of the pharmacokinetics of single-dose CAZ-AVI in a pediatric population;Secondary Objective: Assessment of the safety and tolerability of a single IV dose of CAZ-AVI given to hospitalized pediatric patients via Adverse Events, Vital Signs, Physical Examiniation, Laboratory Parameters and ECGs;Primary end point(s): The following PK parameters will be determined for ceftazidime and avibactam and will be listed and summarized: maximum plasma concentration (Cmax; µg/mL) following a single dose administration; time to Cmax (tmax; in hours) following a single-dose administration; area under the plasma concentration-time curve from zero to 8 hours after the end of infusion (AUC[0-8]), the time of the last quantifiable concentration (AUC[0-t]), extrapolated to infinity (AUC[0-8]); time of last quantifiable plasma concentration (tlast; in hours) taken directly from the individual concentration-time curve; terminal plasma half-life (t½; in hours) estimated as (ln2)/?z; systemic plasma clearance (CL; L/hour) estimated as dose divided by AUC(0-8); volume of distribution at the terminal phase (Vz; L) estimated by dividing the systemic clearance by ?z; volume of distribution at steady state (Vss, L) estimated by multiplying the mean residence time (MRT) by the CL; and terminal elimination phase rate constant (?z). ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Co-hort 1: Up to 22 hours post dose Co-hort 2: Up to 13 hours post dose Co-horts 3 and 4: Up to 6 hours post dose

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Safety and tolerability will be assessed by Adverse Events reports and the results of vital sign measurements, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests and ECGs. Tabulations and listings of data for vital signs, physical examinations, clinical laboratory tests, and ECGs will be presented.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: From consent to 48 hours post dose
