Subject has a diagnosis or suspicion of bacterial pneumonia (even if later known that the subject does not have bacterial pneumonia, discontinuation of the study is not necessary)
Subject is hospitalized and receiving standard of care antibiotic treatment for pneumonia
Subject is mechanically ventilated or expected to be mechanically ventilated at least 48 hours (or 72 hours for subjects with severe renal impairment) after the first dose of cefiderocol
Subject has a life expectancy of at least 3 weeks from the Screening visit
Subject is male (no contraception required) or female and meets 1 of the following criteria:
Surgically sterile (has had a hysterectomy and/or bilateral oophorectomy, or a bilateral salpingectomy or tubal ligation for the purpose of contraception for at least 6 weeks with appropriate documentation of such surgery)
Postmenopausal (defined as older than 45 years of age with cessation of regular menstrual periods for at least 6 months and a follicle-stimulating hormone level of > 40 mIU/mL, or amenorrhea for at least 12 months)
Of childbearing potential and using combined (estrogen and progestogen) or progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (including oral, intravaginal, injectable, implantable, and transdermal contraceptives), or an intrauterine device (IUD), or intrauterine hormone-releasing system for the entire duration of the study
Of childbearing potential and practicing abstinence as a preferred and usual life style and/or agrees to continue practicing abstinence from Screening for the entire duration of the study
Of childbearing potential and whose sole heterosexual partner has been successfully vasectomized and agrees to not have other heterosexual partners for the entire duration of the study

You may not qualify if…

Subjects who meet any of the following criteria will be excluded from the study:
Subject has a chemical pneumonia that does not require antibiotic treatment (including aspiration of gastric acid, inhalation injury). The term chemical pneumonia refers to the aspiration of substances that are toxic to the lower airways causing chemical burn and injuries in the airway.
Subject has a history of any moderate or severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any β-lactam (Note: for β-lactams, a history of a mild rash followed by uneventful re-exposure is not a contraindication to enrollment)
Subject has extensive cystic lesion(s) or severe structural abnormality (eg, cystic fibrosis, emphysema, cystic lesions of sarcoidosis or tuberculosis, postobstructive pneumonia due to lung cancer, etc) of the lung that hinders recovery of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF)
Subject is receiving peritoneal dialysis
Subject has severe renal impairment requiring hemodialysis (HD) or end-stage renal disease requiring HD
Subject is in refractory septic shock defined as persistent hypotension despite adequate fluid resuscitation or despite vasopressive therapy at Screening
Subject is a female who has a positive pregnancy test at Screening or who is lactating
Subject has received another investigational drug within 30 days prior to Screening
Subject has previously participated in this clinical study and has received at least 1 dose of cefiderocol within 7 days
Subject has any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the subject or the quality of the study data
