Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

This study aims to compare treatment with a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of imipenem/relebactam/cilastatin (IMI/REL) with a FDC of piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP/TAZ) in participants with hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP or VAPB, respectively). The primary hypothesis is that IMI/REL is non-inferior to PIP/TAZ in the incidence rate of all-cause mortality.

The mMITT population includes all randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment and did not have only gram-positive cocci only on baseline Gram stain and who have a baseline bacterial pathogen identified as the cause of HABP/VABP against which IMI/REL has been shown to have antibacterial activity.
Arm/Group Title IMI/REL PIP/TAZ
Arm/Group Description Participants received imipenem 500 mg + relebactam 250 mg + cilastatin 500 mg as a FDC administered IV every 6 hours for a minimum of 7 days, up to 14 days. At the start of IMI/REL treatment, participants were treated empirically with 600 mg open-label linezolid administered IV every 12 hours until MRSA was ruled out. Participants with confirmed MRSA infection continued to receive 600 mg linezolid every 12 hours for a minimum of 7 days, up to 14 days total. Participants received piperacillin 4000 mg + tazobactam 500 mg as a FDC administered IV every 6 hours for a minimum of 7 days, up to 14 days.

Description The percentage of participants with a FCR at Day 28 was determined for each arm. Favorable clinical response at Day 28 was defined as either "sustained cure" (all pre-therapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved [or returned to "pre-infection status"] with no evidence of resurgence and no additional antibiotics are required) or "cure" (all pre-therapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved [or returned to "pre-infection status"] and no additional antibiotics are required).
