A Phase 1, Non-comparative, Open-label Study to Characterize the Pharmacokinetics of a Single Intravenous Dose of Ceftolozane/Tazobactam in Pediatric Patients Receiving Standard of Care Antibiotic Therapy for Proven or Suspected Gram-negative Infection or for Peri-operative Prophylaxis
In Brief
A Phase 1 clinical trial evaluating Ceftolozane/Tazobactam 1000/500 mg, Ceftolozane/Tazobactam 30/15 mg/kg, and 3 other interventions for Proven or Suspected Gram-negative Bacterial Infection and Peri-operative Prophylaxis. Completed, enrolled 43 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics, safety, and tolerability of a single intravenous dose of ceftolozane/tazobactam (MK-7625A) in pediatric participants. In each of the 6 age cohorts, an interim analysis of pharmacokinetics (PK) and safety data was conducted after approximately 3 participants had received the initially proposed dose. The interim analysis was to determine whether the initial dose was appropriate based on pre-defined criteria. If data from the interim analysis demonstrated that the initially proposed dose met the above criteria, enrollment was to continue with the same dose administered to approximately 3 additional participants of the same age range. However, if the interim analysis demonstrated that a new optimized dose was required, the new dose was to be administered to approximately 3 additional participants of the same age range.
