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)
Proven or Suspected Gram-negative Bacterial Infection, Peri-operative Prophylaxis
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Proven or Suspected Gram-negative Bacterial Infection
Eligibility Criteria
Key Inclusion Criteria:
- Males or non-pregnant females from birth to <18 years of age
- Receiving standard of care antibiotic therapy for suspected or diagnosed Gram-negative infection or for peri-operative prophylaxis
- Groups 1-4: Calculated creatinine clearance rate (CLCR) ≥ 80 ml/min/1.73m2 at baseline
- Group 5: CLCR ≥ 50 ml/min/1.73m2 at baseline
- Group 6: CLCR ≥ 20 ml/min/1.73m2 at baseline
Key Exclusion Criteria:
- Known allergy/hypersensitivity to any β-lactam antibacterial
- History of clinically significant renal, hepatic, or hemodynamic instability
- Planned use of cardiopulmonary bypass or dialysis
- Planned blood transfusion within 24 hours of study drug administration
- Clinically significant abnormal laboratory test results not related to the underlying infection
- Receipt of piperacillin/tazobactam within 24 hours of study drug administration
- Likely to be at risk of hemodynamic disturbance following collection of the required PK blood samples

Cohort 1: ≥12 to <18 years TOL/TAZ 1000/500 mg FDC
Cohort 2: ≥7 to <12 years TOL/TAZ 18/9 mg/kg
Cohort 3: ≥2 to <7 years TOL/TAZ 18/9 or 30/15 mg/kg
Cohort 4: ≥3 months to <2 years TOL/TAZ 18/9 or 30/15 mg/kg
Cohort 5: birth to <3 months TOL/TAZ 20/10 mg/kg
Cohort 6: birth to <3 months TOL/TAZ 12/6 or 20/10 mg/kg
Participants ≥12 to <18 years of age received a single dose of ceftolozane/tazobactam (TOL/TAZ) 1000/500 mg FDC as a 60-minute infusion on Day 1.
Participants ≥7 to <12 years of age received a single dose of TOL/TAZ 18/9 mg/kg as a 60-minute infusion on Day 1.
Participants ≥2 to <7 years of age received a single dose of TOL/TAZ 18/9 mg/kg as a 60-minute infusion on Day 1. Participants in this cohort enrolled after interim analysis for Cohort 3 received TOL/TAZ 30/15 mg/kg.
Participants ≥3 months to <2 years of age received a single dose of TOL/TAZ 18/9 mg/kg as a 60-minute infusion on Day 1. Participants in this cohort enrolled after interim analysis for Cohort 3 received TOL/TAZ 30/15 mg/kg.
Participants from birth (>32 weeks gestation, 7 days postnatal) to <3 months of age received a single dose of TOL/TAZ 20/10 mg/kg as a 60-minute infusion on Day 1. After interim analysis for Cohort 4, the original regimen of TOL/TAZ 12/6 mg/kg was changed to TOL/TAZ 20/10.
Participants from birth (≤32 weeks gestation, 7 days postnatal) to <3 months of age with creatinine clearance =20 - 49 mL/min/1.73 m^2 received a single dose of TOL/TAZ 12/6 mg/kg as a 60-minute infusion on Day 1; participants with creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min/1.73 m^2 received a single dose of TOL/TAZ 20/10 mg/kg as a 60-minute infusion on Day 1. After interim analysis for Cohort 4, the original regimen of TOL/TAZ 12/6 was changed to TOL/TAZ 20/10 mg/kg for participants with creatinine clearance ≥50 mL/min/1.73 m^2.
