Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients will qualify to participate in this study if they meet all of the following:
  • 1. Are male or female patients greater than or equal to 18 years of age that require hospitalization with community-acquired pneumonia or develops pneumonia within 48 hours of hospitalization for another condition.
  • 2. Have fever defined as body temperature > 38.0°C (100.4°F) taken orally; or > 38.5°C (101.2°F) tympanically; OR have hypothermia, defined as rectal or core body
  • temperature < 36°C (96.8°F).
  • 3. Have a new or increased cough productive of purulent sputum for culture and
  • susceptibility testing.
  • 4. Have either pleuritic chest pain, dyspnea, or tachypnea.
  • 5. Have auscultatory findings consistent with pneumonic consolidation or pneumopathic process consistent with the diagnosis of pneumonia.
  • 6. Have chest x-ray confirmation of infiltrate or lobar consolidation.
  • 7. Have obtained respiratory secretion specimen and two blood cultures prior to administration of IV study drug or non-study short acting third generation cephalosporine. (Respiratory
  • secretions may be obtained by any of the following means: deep expectoration either unassisted or in conjunction with hydration followed by chest physiotherapy and nebulization treatments, nasotracheal aspiration, bronchoscopy with endobronchial lavage or protected-brush sampling, transtracheal aspiration, percutaneous lung or pleural fluid aspiration).
  • 8. Have a negative urine Legionella antigen test (Binax®).
  • 9. If the patient is sexually active and is female of child bearing potential, or is a sexually active male who has a female partner of child bearing potential, then the patient agrees to use two forms of contraception, at least one of which is a barrier method, during the study period.
  • 10. Have an elevated total peripheral white blood cell count (WBC) greater than or equal to 10,000/mm3, or 15 % immature neutrophils (bands), regardless of total peripheral white count, or leukopenia with total WBC < 4500/mm3.
  • 11. Have signed an informed consent.
  • Are the trial subjects under 18?
  • Number of subjects for this age range:
  • F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes
  • F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range
  • F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) yes
  • F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients will be excluded if they meet any of the following:
  • 1. Have a Pneumonia Severity Index <71 or >130.
  • 2. Have presented with sustained shock, defined as systolic blood pressure < 90 mm Hg for > 2 hours despite adequate fluid resuscitation, with evidence of hypoperfusion or need for sympathomimetic agents to maintain blood pressure.
  • 3. In the opinion of the investigator, history, physical examination and chest X-ray
  • findings are most consistent with an atypical pneumonia.
  • 4. Require endotracheal intubation and ventilation, or in the opinion of the investigator, are expected to require it.
  • 5. Are likely to be discharged in less than 3 days.
  • 6. Developed pneumonia after more than 48 hours of admission to hospital.
  • 7. Have been a resident in a nursing home or extended care facility within 60 days prior to randomization.
  • 8. Require hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, plasmapheresis or hemoperfusion.
  • 9. Have a known bronchial obstruction or a history of post-obstructive pneumonia.
  • 10. Have known or suspected lung abscess, empyema, or evidence of a pleural effusion estimated to be > 500 mL.
  • 11. Have primary lung cancer or another malignancy metastatic to the lungs.
  • 12. Have signs of meningitis such as nuchal rigidity, papilledema or other findings of
  • meningitis. (Note: The penetration of RO4908463 into the cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) has not yet been determined.)
  • 13. Have known or suspected cystic fibrosis or suspected active tuberculosis.
  • 14. Have known or suspected concomitant bacterial infection requiring antibiotic
  • 15. Require chronic immunosuppressive therapy or have an anticipated need for
  • immunosuppressive therapy for > 1 month from baseline (including > 10 mg/day of
  • systemic prednisone or equivalent).
  • 16. Have neutropenia (ANC < 1000/mm3) or platelet count < 50,000/mm3.
  • 17. Have any form of epilepsy or history of seizures.
  • 18. Have been alcohol or drug dependent within the past six months.
  • 19. Have hypersensitivity to beta-lactam antibiotics.
  • 20. Have had more than one dose of a short acting, 3rd generation cephalosporin (e.g., cefotaxime) or any dose of a quinolone, macrolide or ketolide within 24 hours of
  • being randomized for participation in the study.
  • 21. Have a history of cerebrovascular accident, transient ischemic attack(s), brain
  • metastases, space occupying lesion in the CNS or systemic malignancy within past
  • year and/or are currently receiving adjuvant chemotherapy.
  • 22. Are receiving or likely to receive coumarin or probenecid therapy during the study.
  • 23. Have a creatinine clearance, using the Cockcroft-Gault equation, of = 60 mL/min.
  • 24. Have significant proteinuria (e.g. 4+ or > 1.0% or > 10g/L on urinalysis).
  • 25. Have evidence of a liver dysfunction manifested by: ALT or AST = 4X ULN or total
  • bilirubin > 1.5X ULN.
  • 26. Have a history of hemolytic anemia.
  • 27. Have artificial heart valves or vascular prostheses.
  • 28. Have known HIV infection or AIDS with a CD4 count < 250 cells/mm3 and are
  • taking antiretroviral therapy or in the opinion of the investigator should begin
  • antiretroviral treatments or have undiagnosed HIV infection but have clinical findings
  • highly suggestive of HIV/AIDS.
  • 29. Are unlikely to comply with the dosing regimen, scheduled assessments, or complete the study for any other reason.
