Pharmacokinetic and Safety Study of Ceftolozane/Tazobactam in Pediatric Participants Receiving Antibiotic Therapy for Proven or Suspected Gram-negative Infection or for Peri-operative Prophylaxis (MK-7625A-010)

August 29, 2019 updated by: Cubist Pharmaceuticals LLC

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

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.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With One or More Adverse Events
Time Frame: Up to Day 10
An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a study participant administered a pharmaceutical product that does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product, whether or not related to the medicinal product.
Up to Day 10
Number of Participants Who Discontinued the Study Due to an Adverse Event
