Zinforo showed high clinical cure rate and evidence of rapid response in CAP and cSSTI2,3
Explore three Phase III trials here.
Zinforo targets key pathogens in CAP and cSSTI paediatric patients from birth including Streptococcus pneumoniae (in CAP) and Staphylococcus aureus (including methicillin-resistant strains in cSSTI and methcillin-susceptible strains only in CAP).*1,8-16
*There is no experience with Zinforo in the treatment of CAP in the following patient groups: the immunocompromised, patients with severe sepsis/septic shock, severe underlying lung disease (eg cystic fibrosis), those with PORT Risk Class V, and/or CAP requiring ventilation at presentation, CAP due to methicillin-resistant S. aureus or patients requiring intensive care. Caution is advised when treating such patients.1 There is no experience with ceftaroline in the treatment of cSSTI in the following patient groups: the immunocompromised, patients with severe sepsis/septic shock, necrotizing fasciitis, perirectal abscess and patients with third degree and extensive burns. There is limited experience in treating patients with diabetic foot infections. Caution is advised when treating such patients.1
**Zinforo is not active against Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Like other cephalosporins, Zinforo is not active against ESBL-producing strains. In vitro activity does not always correlate with clinical efficacy.1
