Summary

The main purpose of this study is to compare the safety of tigecycline versus a ceftriaxone regimen in pediatric subjects (aged 8 to 17 years) with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and community acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Conditions

  • Community Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia
  • Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection

Interventions

DRUG

Tigecycline

Subject with cIAI: Dosing information for subjects 8 to 11 years old is currently under investigation and will be determined later. Subjects 12 to 17 years old will receive tigecycline 50 mg IV every 12 hours, metronidazole placebo IV will be administered every 8 hours. In addition, at the discretion of the investigator, an aminoglycoside placebo IV may also be administered.

DRUG

Tigecycline

Subject with CAP: IV therapy period: Dosing information for subjects 8 to 11 years old is currently under investigation and will be determined later. Subjects 12 to 17 years old will receive tigecycline 50 mg IV every 12h. At the discretion of the investigator oral clarithromycin placebo may be given every 12h. Oral therapy period: If oral switch criteria are met, on or after Day 4 amoxicillin/clavulanate may be prescribed (40 mg/kg per day divided into 3 equal doses, maximum of 500 mg/dose to subjects weighing less than 40 kg and 500 mg every 8h to subjects weighing 40 kg or greater). In addition, if oral clarithromycin or placebo had been given during the IV period, oral clarithromycin may be given every 12h (7.5 mg/kg, maximum dose 500 mg for subjects 8 to 11 years old, 500 mg for subjects 12 to 17 years old).

DRUG

cIAI: Ceftriaxone with metronidazole, plus if applicable aminoglycoside

Subject with cIAI: Subjects will receive ceftriaxone 35 mg/kg (maximum of 1 g/dose) IV every 12 hours, metronidazole 10 mg/kg (maximum of 1 g/dose) IV will be administered every 8 hours. In addition, at the discretion of the investigator, an aminoglycoside IV (adjusted dose if necessary) may also be given.

DRUG

CAP: Ceftriaxone, plus if applicable oral clarithromycin

Subject with CAP: IV therapy period: Subjects will receive ceftriaxone 35 mg/kg (maximum of 1 g/dose) IV every 12h. At the discretion of the investigator, oral clarithromycin may be given every 12h (7.5 mg/kg, maximum dose 500 mg for subjects 8 to 11 years old, 500 mg for subjects 12 to 17 years old). Oral therapy period: If oral switch criteria are met, on or after Day 4 amoxicillin/clavulanate may be prescribed (40 mg/kg per day divided into 3 equal doses, maximum of 500 mg/dose to subjects weighing less than 40 kg and 500 mg every 8h to subjects weighing 40 kg or greater). In addition, if oral clarithromycin or placebo had been given during the IV period, oral clarithromycin may be given every 12h (7.5 mg/kg, maximum dose 500 mg for subjects 8 to 11 years old, 500 mg for subjects 12 to 17 years old).
