Experimental Treatment
Group I: CefiderocolExperimental Treatment2 Interventions
All participants were receiving standard of care (SOC) antibiotic treatment for pneumonia. Forty hours after the start of SOC treatment, participants will be administered 2 g doses of cefiderocol (or renally adjusted doses) infused intravenously over 3 hours, every 8 hours (or every 6 hours for participants with augmented renal function), for an expected minimum of 3 doses and up to a total of 6 doses in participants with normal renal function and participants with mild or moderate renal impairment, and for an expected minimum of 6 doses and up to a total of 9 doses in participants with severe renal impairment.
