Title: A Multicenter, Randomized, Open-Label, Phase 3 Study to Compare the Safety and Effectiveness of Doripenem Versus a Comparator Antibiotic in Hospital-Acquired Pneumonia
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of doripenem in patients with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP).


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients suffering from nosocomial pneumonia or ventilator-associated pneumonia
* Female patients must be postmenopausal for at least 1 year, surgically sterile, or practicing an effective method of birth control, before entry and throughout the study, and have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at the screening

Exclusion Criteria:

* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any related antibiotic medications
* Any known or suspected condition or concurrent treatment that would be contraindicated by the prescribing information
* Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days before enrollment
* Prior enrollment to this study
B: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients hospitalized for \>= 48 hours or those with prior hospital admission of at least 48 hours who were discharged within the last 48 hours.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Hospital-acquired pneumonia known at the time of enrollment to be caused by pathogen(s) resistant to certain antibiotics
* Any rapidly progressing disease or immediately life-threatening illness
C: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients must have new or worsening radiographic infiltrates consistent with ventilator-associated pneumonia that was not related to cardiac or other disease processes
* Have at least 1 of the following: fever (core body temperature greater than 39.0°C); hypothermia (core body temperature of less than 35.0°C); leukocytosis (increased WBC count); and leukopenia (decreased WBC count)
* Have developed ventilator-associated pneumonia and have been on mechanical ventilation for more than or equal to 48 hours and on mechanical ventilation at the time that study medication is assigned
* Have been hospitalized or been in a chronic care facility for consecutive 5 days or more within the last 90 days
* Have a baseline Clinical Pulmonary Infection Score (CPIS) more than or equal to 6 and an Acute Physiology and Chronic Health Evaluation (APACHE) II score more than 8 and less than 35

Exclusion Criteria:

* Have received antibiotics for this episode of ventilator-associated pneumonia for more than 24 hours before study medication administration
* Known presence at baseline of only methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus or Stenotrophomonas infection
* Acute respiratory distress syndrome
* Has any of the following conditions: chest trauma with severe lung bruising or loss of stability of the thoracic cage following a fracture of the sternum, ribs, or both, increased amounts of fluid in the lung cavities requiring drainage or pus in the cavity
* Has active seizure disorder within the last 2 years or brain injury such that imipenem cilastatin would not be administered to the patient in usual practice
* Has lung cancer within the last 2 years, chronic bronchitis with an increase in severity within the last 30 days, chronic enlargement of the bronchi or bronchioles related to inflammatory disease or obstruction, lung abscess(s), anatomical bronchial obstruction, respiratory tuberculosis on treatment, suspected atypical pneumonia, chemical pneumonitis, cystic fibrosis, congestive heart failure, severe burns to greater than 15% of the body, evidence of severe and chronic liver disease
D: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients suffering from nosocomial pneumonia or ventilator-associated pneumonia
* Female patients must be postmenopausal for at least 1 year, surgically sterile, or practicing an effective method of birth control, before entry and throughout the study, and have a negative serum or urine pregnancy test at the screening

Exclusion Criteria:

* Known or suspected hypersensitivity to any related antibiotic medications
* Any known or suspected condition or concurrent treatment that would be contraindicated by the prescribing information
* Treatment with any investigational drug within 30 days before enrollment
* Prior enrollment to this study
