Study Endpoints

Primary Endpoints

Clinical Cure Rate for Ceftaroline Compared to That for Ceftriaxone at Test of Cure (TOC) in CE Population
7-20 days after last dose of study drug

Cure:Total resolution of all signs and symptoms of pneumonia (ie,CABP), or improvement to such an extent that further antimicrobial therapy was not necessary Failure: Any of the following: •Persistence, incomplete clinical resolution, or worsening in signs and symptoms of CABP that required alternative antimicrobial therapy •Treatment-limiting AE leading to discontinuation of study drug therapy, when subject required alternative antimicrobial therapy to treat the pneumonia •Death wherein pneumonia (ie,CABP) was considered causative Indeterminate: Inability to determine an outcome

Frequently asked questions about Ceftaroline

What is Ceftaroline used for?

Ceftaroline is being developed for the treatment of community-acquired bacterial pneumonia, a lung infection in patients who have not recently been hospitalized. It is an intravenous small molecule antibacterial studied in adult hospitalized patients with this condition.

Who makes Ceftaroline?

Ceftaroline is developed by Pfizer, Inc., which trades under the ticker PFE. Pfizer is the company responsible for the clinical development of this antibacterial agent.

What phase is Ceftaroline in?

Ceftaroline is in Phase 3 clinical development. It is an investigational agent and has not been approved for the studied indication. The Phase 3 trial has been completed, and no active trials are currently listed.

What clinical trials is Ceftaroline in?

Ceftaroline has been studied in one completed Phase 3 trial, NCT01371838. This randomized, double-blind, active-controlled study evaluated intravenous ceftaroline versus intravenous ceftriaxone in 848 adult hospitalized patients with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia across China, India, South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam.

How does Ceftaroline work?

Ceftaroline is a small molecule antibacterial. It is administered intravenously and is being evaluated for activity against community-acquired bacterial pneumonia in hospitalized adults.
