Ceftaroline Diffusion Into Cerebrospinal Fluid of Children
Status unconfirmed · Phase 1
Conditions studied: Cerebrospinal Fluid Shunts, Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt
In brief
Ceftaroline fosamil is an intravenous (IV) drug that belongs to a group of antibiotics called cephalosporins . Antibiotics are drugs used to treat infections. Clinical studies in adults patient shave shown ceftaroline fosamil to be effective against many bacteria that are resistant to other currently approved antibiotics. Some of these bacteria may be responsible for infections in the central nervous system.The main aim of this study is to gather information to determine how much of a single IV dose of ceftaroline fosamil will enter into a child's CSF so that the benefit of giving ceftaroline fosamil to children with infections can be better determined.
