Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the safety and tolerability of ceftaroline for the treatment of Late-onset sepsis in neonates and young infants aged 7 to <60 days;Secondary Objective: - To evaluate the PK profile of ceftaroline in neonates and young infants aged 7 to <60 days with Late-onset sepsis - To evaluate the efficacy of ceftaroline for the treatment of Late-onset sepsis in neonates and young infants aged 7 to <60 days;Primary end point(s): The safety analysis will be performed on the Safety Analysis Set (all subjects who received drug) and will include AEs, SAEs, deaths, clinical laboratory parameters and vital signs. ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: Duration of study including safety follow up visit
