Study Evaluating Tigecycline Versus Ceftriaxone In Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections & Community Acquired Pneumonia

Multicenter, Randomized, And Double-Blind Study To Evaluate The Safety Of Tigecycline Versus A Ceftriaxone Regimen In The Treatment Of Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infections And Community-Acquired Pneumonia In Subjects Of 8-17 Years

The main purpose of this study is to compare the safety of tigecycline versus a ceftriaxone regimen in pediatric subjects (aged 8 to 17 years) with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAI) and community acquired pneumonia (CAP).

Inclusion Criteria:

• Male or female subjects 8 to 17 years old. Children with bone maturation less than 8 years old should be enrolled with caution due to potential risk of tooth discoloration.
• Have a diagnosis of a serious infection (complicated intra-abdominal infections [cIAI] or community acquired pneumonia [CAP] as applicable) requiring hospitalization and administration of IV antibiotic therapy.
• Criteria related indication (cIAI or CAP - as applicable), e.g., sign of systemic infection, signs and symptom.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Subject with any concomitant illness/condition that, in the investigator's judgment, will substantially increase the risk associated with the subject's participation in and/or completion of the study, or could preclude the evaluation of the subject's response (e.g., life expectancy <30 days).
