Study Description

Brief Summary:

The purpose of this study is to determine whether ceftaroline is effective and safe in the treatment of complicated skin infections in adults.

Arms and Interventions

Arm	Intervention/treatment

Active Comparator: IV Vancomycin and IV Aztreonam	Drug: IV Vancomycin plus IV Aztreonam vancomycin at 1 g parenteral infused over 60 minutes followed by aztreonam 1 g infused over 60 minutes, every 12 hours, for 5 to 14 days. Other Name: Active Comparator

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures :

Clinical Cure Rate at Test of Cure (TOC) (MITT Population) [ Time Frame: 8-15 days after the end of treatment ]
Cure: Total resolution of all signs and symptoms of the baseline infection, or improvement of the infection such that no further antimicrobial therapy was necessary.

Failure: Requirement of alternative antimicrobial therapy for primary infection of cSSSI due to inadequate response, recurrence, new infection at the same site; treatment-limiting adverse event (AE); requirement for surgery due to failure of study drug; diagnosis of osteomyelitis after Study Day 8; or death caused by cSSSI.

Indeterminate: Inability to determine an outcome
Clinical Cure Rate of Ceftaroline Compared With That of Vancomycin Plus Aztreonam Treatment at TOC in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population [ Time Frame: 8-15 days after last dose of study drug ]

Secondary Outcome Measures :

Microbiological Success Rate at the TOC Visit [ Time Frame: 8-15 days after last dose of study drug ]
Clinical Response at the End of Therapy (EOT) Visit [ Time Frame: Last day of study drug administration ]
Clinical and Microbiological Response by Pathogen at the TOC Visit [ Time Frame: 8-15 days after last dose of study drug ]
Clinical Relapse at the Late Follow Up (LFU) Visit [ Time Frame: 21 to 35 days after the last dose of study drug ]
Microbiological Reinfection or Recurrence at the LFU Visit [ Time Frame: 21 to 35 days after the last dose of study drug ]
Assess Safety [ Time Frame: First dose of study drug through TOC visit ]
Comparisons of the number of participants with Adverse Events
