a

Cmax, maximum concentration; Cmin, trough concentration at steady state (present for cohorts 1, 3, 5, and 6); Css, plasma concentration at steady state (presented for cohorts 2 and 4); AUC0–tau, AUC from time zero to tau (tau, 8 hours for ceftazidime and avibactam and 6 hours for aztreonam) after the dose; AUCinf, AUC from time of dosing extrapolated to infinity on day 7; CL, total body clearance; Vss, volume of distribution; t1/2, terminal phase disposition half-life; Kel, terminal elimination rate constant; RAUC: accumulation ratio for day 1 AUC0-tau/day 7 AUC0-tau; NR, not reported.

b

Drug cohorts: CZA 2.5 g i.v. over 2 h every 8 h (cohort 1); CZA 2.5 g i.v. over 2 h × 1 and then 7.5 g/daily as a continuous infusion (CI) (cohort 2); ATM 2 g i.v. over 2 h every 6 h (cohort 3); ATM 2 g i.v. × 1 and then 8 g/daily as a CI (cohort 4); CZA 2.5 g i.v. over 2 h every 8 h with ATM 1.5 g i.v. over 2 h every 6 h (cohort 5); CZA 2.5 g i.v. over 2 h every 8 h with ATM 2 g i.v. over 2 h every 6 h (cohort 6).

c

N = 4 due to 4 subjects missing aztreonam doses on day 7 in cohort 5; all day 7 plasma PK data for ATM were excluded from the PK analysis. All subjects in cohort 4 on day 7 for ATM were excluded from the PK analysis due to stopped dosing.

d

N = 7 due to 1 subject’s Kel being not in acceptance criteria (R2 adjusted < 0.8).
