Trial Outcomes & Findings for Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of MK-7655 (Relebactam) + Imipenem/Cilastatin Versus Imipenem/Cilastatin Alone for Treating Complicated Urinary Tract Infection (cUTI) (MK-7655-003) (NCT NCT01505634)

NCT ID: NCT01505634

Last Updated: 2019-05-24

Results Overview

Microbiological response (MR) was assessed based on results of bacterial cultures obtained at completion of IV study medication relative to cultures obtained at baseline. A favorable microbiological response was defined as eradication of all pathogens identified at baseline. Microbiological response was assessed separately for each participant and pathogen identified in the Microbiologically Evaluable (ME) population that included participants with a urine culture confirmed to be positive for at least 1 gram-negative and/or anaerobic pathogen(s) commonly isolated in UTI. The overall microbiological response was determined as "favorable" if all pathogens isolated from a participant at baseline demonstrated a "favorable" response (eradication) at the time point evaluated.

Population: All randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product and which did not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with this treatment. An AE could therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign, symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal product/protocol-specified procedure, whether or not considered related to the medicinal product/protocol-specified procedure. Any worsening of a preexisting condition temporally associated with the use of the product was also an AE.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: At time of last IV dose of study drug (up to post-randomization day 14)

Population: All participants in the ME population with imipenem-resistant gram-negative infections at baseline.

Microbiological response was assessed based on results of bacterial cultures obtained at completion of IV study medication relative to cultures obtained at baseline. A favorable microbiological response was defined as eradication of all pathogens identified at baseline. Microbiological response was assessed separately for each participant and pathogen identified in the Microbiologically Evaluable (ME) population that included participants with a urine culture confirmed to be positive for imipenem-resistant gram-negative or anaerobic infections at baseline. The overall microbiological response was determined as "favorable" if all pathogens isolated from a participant at baseline demonstrated a "favorable" response (eradication) at the time point evaluated.
