Active Comparator
Ceftaroline
Ceftriaxone plus vancomycin
Ceftaroline fosamil 600 mg Intravenous (IV) administration over 60 minutes, every 8 hours (q8h); dosing to be adjusted for renal function; treatment duration 5 to 14 days
Ceftriaxone 2 g IV over 30 minutes once per day (q24h) plus vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV every 12 hours (q12h) initially and then dose adjusted based on trough concentrations; treatment duration 5 to 14 days
