Groups2
Neither group, or both, names a comparator, so the groups keep ClinicalTrials.gov's order.
| Group | Title | Description | With the outcome | Analysed | ClinicalTrials.gov code |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Group 1 | Ceftobiprole Medocaril | Patients treated with ceftobiprole medocaril 500 mg every 8 hours (with dose adjustment for renal impairment).~Ceftobiprole medocaril: A reconstituted solution of 500 mg of ceftobiprole in 250 mL of water for injection was administered IV every 8 hours (with dose adjustment for renal impairment) for a minimum of 5 days and a maximum of 10 days. Treatment could be extended up to 14 days if in the investigator's opinion this was required, and the extension was approved by the sponsor's medical monitor. Duration of each infusion: 2 hours. | 1 | 334 | EG000 |
| Group 2 | Vancomycin+Aztreonam | Patients treated with vancomycin 1000 mg (or 15 mg/kg) every 12 hours plus aztreonam 1000 mg every 12 hours (both with dose adjustment for renal impairment).~Vancomycin+aztreonam: vancomycin 1000 mg (or 15 mg/kg) every 12 hours (with dose adjustment for renal impairment). Vancomycin dose adjustment for obese and hypermetabolic patients was according to local standard of care. Duration of infusion: 2 hours.~Aztreonam for Injection for IV infusion must have been reconstituted with at least 3 mL sterile water for injection. The reconstituted solution of aztreonam must have been further diluted with 100 mL NaCl 0.9% solution for injection, resulting in an aztreonam concentration of 10 mg/mL (1%). Aztreonam 1000 mg was to be administered as a 0.5-hour IV infusion every 12 hours. If CLCR was \< 30 mL/min (i.e., severe renal impairment), the aztreonam dosage regimen might have been adjusted. The requirement for aztreonam therapy was to be reassessed at the 72-hour study visit. | 3 | 342 | EG001 |
