About this trial

This is a Phase 2 randomized open label multicentre three arm comparative study evaluating the efficacy safety tolerability and pharmacokinetics of intravenous ertapenem zidebactam ERT ZID compared with ceftazidime avibactam CAZ AVI in adults with complicated urinary tract infection cUTI or acute pyelonephritis AP. Approximately 279 hospitalized participants aged 18 years and above will be enrolled from approximately 30 study sites in India and Europe and randomized in a 1 to 1 to 1 ratio to receive ERT ZID for 5 to 7 days ERT ZID for 7 to 10 days or CAZ AVI for 7 to 10 days. The primary endpoint is overall success at Test of Cure defined by clinical cure and microbiological eradication. Secondary assessments include clinical response microbiological response by pathogen outcomes pharmacokinetic parameters and plasma protein binding with safety monitored through adverse events laboratory tests vital signs and electrocardiograms.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Clinical Outcome at Test of Cure (TOC) - mMITT Analysis Set:

Clinical outcome assessed as Clinical Cure, Clinical Failure, or Clinical Indeterminate using the Daily Symptom Assessment questionnaire and Investigator assessment. Unit of measure: categorical (Clinical Cure/Clinical Failure/Clinical Indeterminate)

Time frame
Day 17 +3 days (TOC)
2

Microbiological Outcome at Test of Cure (TOC) - mMITT Analysis Set

Microbiological outcome assessed as Microbiological Eradication, Microbiological Persistence, or Microbiological Indeterminate using urine culture with species-level identification and quantitative assessment of bacterial growth. Unit of measure: categorical (Microbiological Eradication/Microbiological Persistence/Microbiological Indeterminate).

Time frame
Day 17 +3 days (TOC)
3

Safety and Tolerability

Incidence of treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs), drug-related TEAEs, TEAEs leading to study drug discontinuation, and serious adverse events (SAEs), and incidence of potentially clinically significant changes in laboratory parameters, vital signs, and ECG parameters. Measurement tool: adverse-event reporting, clinical laboratory tests, vital signs, and electrocardiograms. Unit of measure: number and percentage of participants.

Time frame
Day 1 to Day 26 ± 2 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Clinical Response at End of Treatment (EOT) - mMITT Analysis Set

Clinical response assessed as Clinical Response, Clinical Non-response, or Clinical Indeterminate using the Daily Symptom Assessment questionnaire and Investigator assessment. Unit of measure: categorical (Clinical Response/Clinical Non-response/Clinical Indeterminate).

Time frame
Day 5 to 10 days +24 hours (EOT)
2

Microbiological Outcome at EOT - mMITT Analysis Set

Microbiological outcome assessed as Microbiological Eradication, Microbiological Persistence, or Microbiological Indeterminate using urine culture with species-level identification and quantitative assessment of bacterial growth. Unit of measure: categorical (Microbiological Eradication/Microbiological Persistence/Microbiological Indeterminate)

Time frame
Day 5 to 10 days +24 hours (EOT)
3

By-Pathogen Overall Outcome at TOC

Overall outcome for each baseline uropathogen, based on the corresponding clinical and microbiological outcomes. Unit of measure: categorical (Overall Success/Overall Failure/Overall Indeterminate). Measurement tools: Daily Symptom Assessment questionnaire and Investigator assessment, and urine culture.

Time frame
Day 17 +3 days (TOC)
4

By-Pathogen Microbiological Outcome at TOC

Microbiological outcome for each baseline uropathogen assessed using urine culture with species-level identification and quantitative assessment of bacterial growth. Unit of measure: categorical (Microbiological Eradication/Microbiological Persistence/Microbiological Indeterminate)

Time frame
Day 17 +3 days (TOC)

Other outcomes

1

Percentage (%) Plasma Protein Binding of ERT and ZID

Percentage of plasma protein binding of ertapenem and zidebactam determined from blood samples collected from participants receiving ERT-ZID. Unit of measure: percentage (%). Measurement tool: plasma protein binding assessment from collected blood samples.

Time frame
Day 1 to Day 26 ± 2 days
