Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and efficacy of ceftaroline fosamil in elderly subjects with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) receiving antibiotic therapy in the hospital.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a multicenter study of ceftaroline fosamil in elderly subjects (≥ 65 years of age) with CABP. Adjunctive macrolide therapy is to be used at the Investigator's discretion. A switch to oral treatment may be allowed at the discretion of the Investigator. The total duration of therapy is 5 to 7 days; a minimum of 48 hours of study drug is required.
