Clinical Study of Cefiderocol (S-649266) for the Treatment of Nosocomial Pneumonia Caused by Gram-negative Pathogens

Summary

The primary objective of this study is to compare all-cause mortality at Day 14 in participants receiving cefiderocol with participants receiving the comparator, meropenem, in adults with hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), or healthcare-associated bacterial pneumonia (HCABP) caused by Gram-negative pathogens.
