Summary
Brief summary
This study will compare the safety and efficacy of a tigecycline regimen versus an imipenem/cilastatin regimen for the treatment of subjects who are hospitalized with hospital-acquired pneumonia (HAP). At least 70% of enrolled subjects will have ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP). Two dose levels of tigecycline will be assessed and compared to imipenem/cilastatin in parallel. Subjects will receive intravenous therapy from a minimum of 7 \& up to 14 consecutive days, the exact duration will be at the decision of the investigator based on the subject's condition. Additional protocol specified antibiotics may be given to ensure appropriate coverage. A final assessment at test-of-cure (TOC) visit will be done 10 to 21 days after the last day of therapy. The total duration of subject participation will be between 17 and 44 days, including a follow up period of 30 days after the last day of therapy for SAEs.

Subjects will be followed for safety and efficacy. The safety assessment will include: physical examinations, vital signs, assessment of the clinical signs and symptoms of pneumonia, collection of adverse events, 12-lead ECG, collection of samples for hematology, serum chemistries, and coagulation parameters, \& a serum or urine pregnancy test before study entry for women of childbearing potential. The clinical and microbiological efficacy will both be evaluated.
