For subjects 12 to less than (<) 18 years of age and weighing at least 45 kilograms (kg), the dose of moxifloxacin will be 400 milligrams (mg), once daily (OD). Subjects 12 to < 18 years of age and weighing less than 45 kg, the dose of moxifloxacin will be 4 mg/kg twice daily (BID), every 12 hours (q12h), not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects 6 to < 12 years of age the dose of moxifloxacin will be 4mg/kg, q12h, not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects 2 to less than 6 years of age the dose of moxifloxacin will be 5mg/kg, q12h, not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects 3 months to less than 2 years of age the dose of moxifloxacin will be 6mg/kg q12h IV, not exceeding 400 mg/day. Subjects who were switched from IV to PO therapy, 400 mg or 50 mg moxifloxacin tablets were provided.

Drug: Ertapenem placebo
Sterile 0.9% sodium chloride solution intended for IV use was used as the placebo for IV ertapenem.

Drug: Amoxicillin/Clavulanate placebo
Suspension containing inactive ingredients was used as the placebo for PO amoxicillin/clavulanate suspension.

Active Comparator: Comparator Ertapenem

Subjects randomized to the comparator arm of this study received intravenous ertapenem plus moxifloxacin placebo (0.9 % NaCl solution) for a minimum of 3 days and, if switched to oral treatment, amoxicillin/clavulanate as an oral suspension plus PO moxifloxacin placebo. Total treatment duration is 5-14 days.

Drug: Ertapenem
For subjects 13 to <18 years of age, the dosage of ertapenem was 1 gram (g) OD. For subjects 3 months to < 13 years of age, the dosage was 15 mg/kg q12h not to exceed 1 g/day.

Drug: Amoxicillin/Clavulanate
Subjects 2 years to < 18 years of age who were switched from IV to PO therapy receive amoxicillin/clavulanate suspension. The dosage of clavulanate was 3.2 mg/kg q12h. (maximum dose of clavulanate was 125 mg q12h). The dosage of amoxicillin was 22.5 mg q12h (a maximum dose of 875 mg amoxicillin q12h must not be exceeded).

Percentage of subjects with clinical response at EOT were reported.

  17. Bacteriological Response at the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit [Day 5 to Day 14]

    Bacteriological response at EOT were grades as presumed persistence, presumed eradication or indeterminate. 'presumed persistence' was applicable for subjects judged to be clinical failures and appropriate culture material is not available for evaluation; 'presumed eradication' defined as the absence of appropriate culture material for evaluation because the subject has clinically responded (with a response as a resolution or cure) and invasive procedures are not warranted; 'indeterminate' is applicable when the bacteriological response to the study drug was not valid for any reason (eg, pretreatment culture was negative or culture was not obtained when material was available and the subject was not judged a clinical failure).

Title Bacteriological Response at the End of Treatment (EOT) Visit
Description Bacteriological response at EOT were grades as presumed persistence, presumed eradication or indeterminate. 'presumed persistence' was applicable for subjects judged to be clinical failures and appropriate culture material is not available for evaluation; 'presumed eradication' defined as the absence of appropriate culture material for evaluation because the subject has clinically responded (with a response as a resolution or cure) and invasive procedures are not warranted; 'indeterminate' is applicable when the bacteriological response to the study drug was not valid for any reason (eg, pretreatment culture was negative or culture was not obtained when material was available and the subject was not judged a clinical failure). Percentage of subjects with bacteriological response at EOT were reported.
Time Frame Day 5 to Day 14

Analysis Population Description
Safety analysis set with subjects evaluable for this outcome
Arm/Group Title Moxifloxacin (Avelox, BAY12-8039) Comparator Ertapenem
Arm/Group Description Subjects randomized to the moxifloxacin arm of this study received intravenous moxifloxacin plus ertapenem placebo (0.9 % sodium chloride [NaCl solution]) for a minimum of 3 days and, if switched to oral treatment, PO moxifloxacin plus PO amoxicillin/clavulanate placebo. Total treatment duration is 5- 14 days. Subjects randomized to the comparator arm of this study received intravenous ertapenem plus moxifloxacin placebo (0.9 % NaCl solution) for a minimum of 3 days and, if switched to oral treatment, amoxicillin/clavulanate as an oral suspension plus PO moxifloxacin placebo. Total treatment duration is 5-14 days.

Adverse Events

Time Frame All AEs and SAE were recorded from treatment start to test of cure visit; musculoskeletal AEs were recorded up to 1 year post-end of treatment (EOT) visit; subjects with musculoskeletal AEs 1 year after EOT were followed up to 5 years or until resolution.
