Population pharmacokinetic analysis demonstrated that renal function, as assessed by creatinine clearance (CLCR), was the patient characteristic that had a clinically relevant impact on ceftobiprole pharmacodynamics. Dosing adjustments based on CLCR for subjects with renal impairment should provide ceftobiprole exposure similar to that in patients with normal renal function.
