E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
The primary endpoint is safety and tolerability in the Safety population, as assessed by AEs, SAEs, deaths, and discontinuations due to AEs during treatment with ceftobiprole and at the EOT, TOC, and LFU visits, as well as clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and physical examination findings. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
At the EOT, TOC, and LFU visits, as well as clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and physical examination findings. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
Pharmacokinetics - Plasma levels of ceftobiprole, ceftobiprole medocaril, and the open-ring metabolite in the PK population Efficacy - Clinical cure rate at the EOT and TOC visits (ITT and CE populations) - All-cause mortality through Day 28 (ITT population) - Microbiological eradication or presumed eradication rate at the EOT and TOC visits (mITT and ME populations) - Improved signs and symptoms of LOS at the Day 3, EOT, and TOC visits (ITT and CE populations) |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
