A phase 2/3, Randomized, Open-Label, Multi-center Study to Determine the Safety and Efficacy of Solithromycin in Adolescents (12 to 17 years of age, inclusive) and Children (2 months to <12 years of age) with suspected or Confirmed Community-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia.

This is a phase 2/3, randomized, open-label, active control, multi-center study to assess the safety and efficacy of solithromycin in children and adolescents with community-acquired bacterial pneumonia (CABP). Solithromycin will be administered orally, as capsules or as a suspension, or intravenously. Patients may receive intravenous therapy initially and switch to an oral formulation. Dosage is weight based and age based. Comparators will be selected according to subject age and are consistent with current recommendations for treatment of CABP in children. These include intravenous ceftriaxone, ampicillin, and amoxicillin and oral amoxicillin and amoxicillin-clavulanic acid. Azithromycin or erythromycin may be added as well.
