Ceftaroline achieved PTAs for bacteriostatic and bactericidal targets2
 

Ceftaroline achieved PTAs >99.9% for bacteriostatic and bactericidal targets at the MIC90 (1 mg/L), whereas the comparators failed to achieve PTAs >90% for bacteriostatic or bactericidal targets, even when clinical doses were increased beyond the recommended level(s).2

Exploratory analyses of the Phase 3 COVERS trial3
 

Ceftaroline fosamil is a beta-lactam antibiotic with in vitro activity against MRSA. The Phase 3 COVERS study demonstrated the efficacy and safety of a high-dose regimen of ceftaroline fosamil (600 mg 2-hour IV infusions q8h) versus vancomycin plus aztreonam in hospitalised patients with cSSTI and underlying comorbidities.3
