Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The Maximum Plasma Concentration (Cmax) of Ceftaroline After Administration of Ceftaroline Fosamil at a Dose of 8 mg/kg up to a Maximum Dose of 600 mg Via IV Infusion Over 60 Minutes.12 hours after infusionThe maximum plasma concentration (Cmax ) occurred around the time of the end of study drug infusion.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Adverse Events (AEs) Reported After Starting Study Drug Administration (Treatment Emergent Adverse Events, TEAEs) by Relationship to Ceftaroline (Related or Unrelated).Signing of Informed Consent Form (ICF) to last follow up (FU) visit, study day 7 (+-2 days).A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence a subject experiences following study drug administration. Subjects were monitored for TEAEs from the start of infusion of ceftaroline fosamil on Study Day 1 through the follow-up contact on Day 7.

Number of Adverse Events (AEs) Reported After Starting Study Drug Administration (Treatment Emergent Adverse Events, TEAEs) by Relationship to Ceftaroline (Related or Unrelated).

A TEAE is any untoward medical occurrence a subject experiences following study drug administration. Subjects were monitored for TEAEs from the start of infusion of ceftaroline fosamil on Study Day 1 through the follow-up contact on Day 7.

Time frame: Signing of Informed Consent Form (ICF) to last follow up (FU) visit, study day 7 (+-2 days).
