Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The goal of this clinical study is to test NRX101 in participants with complicated urinary tract infections including pyelonephritis. The main questions it aims to answer are:

Does NRX101 help participants resolve UTIs?
Is NRX101 safe for participants with UTIs?

Participants will be seen in a doctor's office approximately 6 times to:

Answer a short 10 item questionnaire.
Review of side effects
Urine tests
Blood draw (about 10 ml or 2 teaspoons)
Review of medications
Review any signs or symptoms of UTI
Vital signs and weight (including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature)
Review of medical history

This is an open-label study of NRX101, which means both you and your doctor know what drug you are taking. After the study is completed, researchers will look at the data to see if NRX101 helps participants with complicated UTI's.

Sexes Eligible for Study:

All

Accepts Healthy Volunteers:

Inclusion Criteria:

Male or female, age 18 years or older (no racial/ethnic restrictions).
Urine specimen with evidence of pyuria:

Dipstick analysis positive (at least trace) for leukocyte esterase OR
Dipstick analysis positive (at least trace) for nitrates OR
At least 10 white blood cells (WBCs) per cubic millimeter OR
At least 10 WBCs per high power field.

Urine culture positive for E. coli, Pseudomonas, Acinetobacter, Staphylococcus, or Klebsiella that is resistant to at least one first-line antibiotic.
Must agree to use an effective method of birth control in sexually active men and women while taking the study drug and for one week thereafter. Barrier contraceptives (condoms or diaphragm) with spermicide, intrauterine devices (IUD's), hormonal contraceptives, oral contraceptive pills, surgical sterilization, and complete abstinence are examples of effective methods of contraception.
Agrees to refrain from ethanol consumption during the study.
Must sign an informed consent document after complete explanation of the study documenting that they understand the purpose of the study, procedures to be undertaken, possible benefits, potential risks, and are willing to participate.

Exclusion Criteria:

In the judgment of the investigator, the subject requires hospitalization.
Uncomplicated lower UTI.
Receipt of effective antibacterial drug therapy for cUTI for a continuous duration of more than 48 hours during the 72 hours prior to Screening.
Any recent (<4 weeks) history of trauma to the pelvis or urinary tract.
Concomitant infection that requires non-study systemic antibacterial therapy effective against cUTI in addition to study drug.
Intractable UTI infection at baseline that the investigator anticipates would require

14 days of study drug therapy.

Suspected or confirmed prostatitis, epididymitis.
Renal transplantation, urinary diversion of any type, or known vesico-ureteral reflux.
Have complete, permanent obstruction of the urinary tract.
Confirmed fungal UTI (with ≥103 fungal CFU/mL).
Suspected or confirmed perinephric or intrarenal abscess.
Have an indwelling urinary catheter that is considered unsafe or contraindicated to remove. Note: Indwelling urinary catheters that have been in place for >24 hours prior to Screening must be removed and replaced prior to sample collection.
Percutaneous nephrostomy tube
Indwelling ureteral stent
Urinary tract surgery within 7 days prior to randomization or urinary tract surgery planned during the study period.
Significantly abnormal laboratory values (usually defined as 2x normal such as for liver function tests) or any other medical abnormality that, in the opinion of the investigator, would compromise the safety of the subject or the quality of study data.
Lifetime history of any of the following: surgical procedures involving the brain or meninges, encephalitis, meningitis, degenerative central nervous system (CNS) disorder (e.g., Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease), epilepsy, mental retardation, or any other disease/procedure/accident/intervention that, according to the clinician, is deemed associated with significant injury to, or malfunction of, the CNS.

Have a documented history of any moderate or severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to D-cycloserine, lurasidone, or both.
