New Data Show Ceftobiprole as Effective as Combination Therapy in Treating Patients With Complicated Skin Infections, Including MRSA

Date:9/18/2007

al, ceftobiprole alone was as effective as the combination therapy at eradicating methicillin-susceptible S. aureus (MSSA) (91% vs. 92%, respectively); MRSA (87% vs. 86%); S. pyogenes (90% vs. 100%); S. agalactiae (81% vs. 75%); E. coli (86% vs. 92%); P. aeruginosa (83% vs. 89%); and, Enterobacter spp., Klebsiella pneumoniae, and Proteus mirabilis (86% vs. 83%) from the site of infection.

Other data from two, pooled, Phase III, double-blind, randomized, multi- center global trials involving 817 patients with cSSSI examined the frequency and clinical outcome of patients infected with PVL-positive S. aureus. Patients were randomized to receive either 500 mg of ceftobiprole administered intravenously every eight or every 12 hours (500 mg IV q8h or q12h), 1 g of vancomycin administered intravenously every 12 hours, or a combination of 1 g of vancomycin administered intravenously every 12 hours (1 g IV q12h) plus 1 g of ceftazidime administered intravenously every eight hours (1 g IV q8h). Results showed that 38% of the S. aureus (n=310), 28% of MSSA (n=157/565), and 51% of MRSA (n=157/310) causing these skin infections were PVL-positive.
