Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: A Single Blind, Randomised, Multi-centre, Active Controlled, Trial to Evaluate Safety, Tolerability, Pharmacokinetics and Efficacy of Ceftazidime and Avibactam When Given in Combination With Metronida

Brief Summary: This study will assess the safety , efficacy and pharmacokinetics of ceftazidime avibactam and metronidazole versus meropenem in paediatric population (from 3 months to less than 18 years of age )with complicated intra-abdominal infections (cIAIs)

Detailed Summary: This is a multicentre, multinational, single blind, randomised and active controlled trial of intravenous ceftazidime avibactam in combination with metronidazole versus meropenem. Patients will receive intravenous (IV) treatment for a minimum of 72 hours (3 full days, ie, 9 doses) before having the option to switch to an oral therapy. The decision to switch to oral therapy is entirely at the Investigator's discretion, if the patient has good or sufficient clinical response, and the patient is tolerating oral fluids or food.Patients will be assessed for safety and efficacy throughout the study, and blood samples will be taken for pharmacokinetic (PK) assessment. The duration of each patient's participation in the study will be a minimum of 27 days to a maximum of 50 days after start of study treatment (defined as the time point at which first dose of study treatment is administered) at which time there will be a late follow up (LFU) assessment visit. The LFU is to be performed 20 to 35 days after the last dose of any treatment.The assessments at the test of cure (TOC) visit should be performed in person 8 to 15 days after last dose of any study drug (IV or oral). The maximum duration of IV study drug or oral switch therapy is up to Day 15.
