What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Pharmacokinetic profile of Ceftaroline fosamil, plasma concentrations time profile of ceftaroline fosamil by patient, age cohort and dosage level, and Safety and tolerability of ceftaroline fosamil following a single dose of ceftaroline.

    This study has 3 primary outcome measures: plasma concentration of ceftaroline fosamil and its metabolites from blood samples after a single dose; PK profile of ceftaroline, and safety, where number of subjects with serious and non-serious adverse events and type of frequency of adverse events will be reported.

    Measured: Up to 5 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Ceftaroline fosamil in people with Infections, run by Forest Laboratories at 15 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 14 May 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 15 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Pharmacokinetic profile of Ceftaroline fosamil, plasma concentrations time profile of ceftaroline fosamil by patient, age cohort and dosage level, and Safety and tolerability of ceftaroline fosamil following a single dose of ceftaroline. (time frame: Up to 5 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 14 May 2014.
