Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Ceftaroline fosamil
Patients will receive 600 mg of ceftaroline fosamil administered as a 120-minute intravenous infusion very 8 hours. Each dose will be infused in a volume of 250 mL over 120-minutes followed by aztreonam placebo in a volume of 100 mL infused over 30 minutes every 8 hours. In addition vancomycin placebo will be given in a volume of 250 mL infused over 120 minutes every 12 hours. Doses will be adjusted according to the patient's renal function.
Drug: Ceftaroline fosamil
IV ceftaroline 600mg every 8 hours
Active Comparator: Vancomycin plus aztreonam
Patients will receive combination of vancomycin plus aztreonam. Dose of vancomycin will be based on the patient's actual weight and will receive intravenous vancomycin every 12 hours with each dose infused over 120-minutes. Aztreonam dose will be 1 gram intravenously in a volume of 100 mL infused over 30 minutes every 8 hours. In addition, ceftaroline fosamil placebo will be given in a volume of 250 mL infused over 120 minutes every 8 hours. Doses adjusted according to patients renal function
Drug: Vancomycin
IV vancomycin 15mg/kg every 12 hours
Drug: Aztreonam
IV aztreonam 1 g every 8 hours

Measure Description
Time Frame
Clinical Response at TOC
Time Frame: 7 to 20 days after last dose of study drug
Clinical cure is defined as resolution or improvement of signs and symptoms compared to baseline and no further antimicrobial therapy is necessary. Clinical failure is defined as any of the following: persistence or worsening in signs or symptoms, or requirement for concomitant antibiotic therapy, or requirement of an unplanned surgical intervention >48 hours after the first dose, or death caused by skin infection, or an AE leading to study drug discontinuation with alternative antimicrobial therapy required, or diagnosis of osteomyelitis >=8 days after the first dose.
7 to 20 days after last dose of study drug
