Infection, Intra-abdominal Clinical Trial
Official title:
A Prospective, Randomized, Double-blinded, Multi-center Trial Assessing the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous Administration BAY12-8039 (Moxifloxacin) 400mg Every 24 h Compared to Intravenous Ceftriaxone 2g Every 24h and Metronidazole 500mg Every 12h for the Treatment of Patients With Complicated Intra-abdominal Infections
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of intravenous administration Moxifloxacin (BAY 12-8039) compared to intravenous ceftriaxone and metronidazole for the treatment of patients with complicated intra abdominal infections. In view of the fact that intra abdominal infections are typically polymicrobial and are often treated empirically, the selected antibacterial agent must cover the likely spectrum of bacterial pathogens. Combination antibiotics therapy has been widely used with great success.
