A Randomized, Double-Blind, Multi-Center Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Oral Solithromycin (CEM-101) Compared to Oral Moxifloxacin in the Treatment of Adult Patients With Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia

Descripción detallada

Community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP) is an acute infection of the pulmonary parenchyma with symptoms such as fever or hypothermia, chills, rigors, chest pain, and/or dyspnea. The widespread emergence of antibiotic resistant pathogens, including the macrolide-resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae, has resulted in a need for new and effective antibiotics that have activity against CABP pathogens. Solithromycin is a fourth generation macrolide antibiotic with excellent activity against resistant S. pneumoniae and other key typical and atypical bacterial respiratory pathogens. A completed Phase 2 study showed comparable efficacy to levofloxacin in adults with CABP.
