Active Comparator
CAZ-AVI + Vancomycin or Linezolid
Standard of Care+Vancomycin or Linezolid
Ceftazidime-Avibactam (CAZ-AVI) 2.5 mg intravenous (IV) infusion every 8 hours for 5 to 14 days, duration determined by the investigator, plus vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV or linezolid 600 mg IV every 12 hours. A switch to open-label oral or IV therapy (IV therapy for outpatient or home administration per local standard of care [SOC]) may be allowed after at least 72 hours (ie, minimum of 9 doses for CAZ-AVI) of inpatient IV study drug.
Standard of Care (cefepime 2 g IV infusion every 8 hours or meropenem 1 g IV infusion every 8 hours or piperacillin/tazobactam 4.5 g IV infusion every 6 hours for 5 to 14 days, duration determined by the investigator) plus vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV or linezolid 600 mg IV every 12 hours. A switch to open-label oral or IV therapy (IV therapy for outpatient or home administration per local SOC) may be allowed after at least 72 hours (ie, minimum of 9 doses for SOC therapies, except piperacillin/tazobactam, which is a minimum of 12 doses) of inpatient IV study drug.
