    Outcome Measures

    Primary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Microbiological Response at Completion of IV Study Therapy [At time of last IV dose of study drug (up to post-randomization day 14)]

      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.

    2. Percentage of Participants With an Elevated Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) or Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) Laboratory Value That Was Greater Than or Equal to 5 Times the Upper Limit of Normal (ULN) [Up to 14 days following completion of all study therapy (up to 28 days)]

      All randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment had AST and ALT levels measured up to 14 days following completion of all study medication. Participants who had 2 confirmed elevations of either AST or ALT that were 5 times ULN or greater were recorded.

    3. Percentage of Participants With Elevated AST or ALT Laboratory Values ≥ 3 Times the ULN, as Well as Elevated Total Bilirubin ≥ 2 Times the ULN, and Alkaline Phosphatase Values That Were < 2 Times the ULN [Up to 14 days following completion of all study therapy (up to 28 days)]

      All randomized participants who received ≥1 dose of study treatment had AST, ALT, total bilirubin, and Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) levels measured up to 14 days following completion of all study medication. Participants who had elevations of AST or ALT that were ≥3 times ULN, total bilirubin measurements that were ≥2 times ULN and, at the same time, an ALP measurement of < 2X ULN were recorded.

    4. Percentage of Participants With at Least 1 Adverse Event (AE) [Up to 14 days following completion of all study therapy (up to 28 days)]

      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.

    5. Percentage of Participants With Any Serious Adverse Event (SAE) [Up to 14 days following completion of all study therapy (up to 28 days)]

      A SAE was an AE that resulted in death, was life threatening, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a cancer, was associated with an overdose, was another important medical event.

    6. Percentage of Participants With Any Drug-related AE [Up to 14 days following completion of all study therapy (up to 28 days)]

      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. A drug-related (DR) AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that the investigator determined to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to the treatment.

    7. Percentage of Participants With a Drug-related SAE [Up to 42 days following completion of all study therapy (up to 56 days)]

      A serious, drug-related (DR) AE was an AE that resulted in death, was life threatening, resulted in persistent or significant disability/incapacity, resulted in or prolonged an existing inpatient hospitalization, was a congenital anomaly/birth defect, was a cancer, was associated with an overdose, was another important medical event. The SAE was determined to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to the treatment by the investigator.

    8. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued IV Study Therapy Due to an AE [Up to 14 days]

      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 pre-existing condition temporally associated with the use of the product was also an AE.

    9. Percentage of Participants Who Discontinued IV Study Therapy Due to a Drug-related AE [Up to 14 days]

      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. A drug-related AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that the investigator determined to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to the treatment.

    10. Percentage of Participants With Specific AEs With Incidence of >= 4 Participants in One Treatment Group [Up to 14 days following completion of all study therapy (up to 28 days)]

      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. Analysis includes specific adverse events with an incidence of ≥4 participants in one treatment group or system organ class.

    Secondary Outcome Measures

    1. Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Microbiological Response at Completion of IV Study Therapy Who Had Imipenem-resistant, Gram-negative cUTI Infections. [At time of last IV dose of study drug (up to post-randomization day 14)]

      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.

    2. Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Microbiological Response at Early Follow-up [Up to 9 days following completion of all study IV and oral therapy (up to Day 23)]

      Microbiological response was assessed based on results of bacterial cultures obtained up to 9 days following completion of all study medication (IV and oral) 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 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.

    3. Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Clinical Response at Completion of IV Study Therapy [At time of last IV dose of study drug (up to postrandomization day 14)]

      Clinical response was assessed as favorable (cured or improved) or unfavorable (failure) relative to baseline. Response determination was based on physical findings including fever (or history of fever), chills or rigors (accompanied by fever), flank pain, costovertebral angle tenderness, dysuria, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, suprapubic or pelvic pain, nausea, or vomiting. Clinical response was assessed in the 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.

    4. Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Clinical Response at Early Follow-up [Up to 9 days following completion of all study IV and oral therapy (up to Day 23)]

      Clinical response was assessed as favorable (cured or improved) or unfavorable (failure) relative to baseline. Response determination was based on physical findings including fever (or history of fever), chills or rigors (accompanied by fever), flank pain, costovertebral angle tenderness, dysuria, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, suprapubic or pelvic pain, nausea, or vomiting. Clinical response was assessed in the 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.

    5. Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Clinical Response at Late Follow-up [Up to 42 days following completion of all study IV and oral therapy (up to Day 56)]

Response determination was based on physical findings including fever (or history of fever), chills or rigors (accompanied by fever), flank pain, costovertebral angle tenderness, dysuria, urinary urgency, urinary frequency, suprapubic or pelvic pain, nausea, or vomiting. Clinical response was assessed in the 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.

    6. Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Microbiological Response at Late Follow-up [Up to 42 days following completion of all study IV and oral therapy (up to Day 56)]

      Microbiological response was assessed based on results of bacterial cultures obtained up to 42 days following completion of all study medication (IV and oral) 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 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.

Any worsening of a preexisting condition temporally associated with the use of the product was also an AE. A drug-related AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant administered a pharmaceutical product that the investigator determined to be possibly, probably, or definitely related to the treatment.

    11. Secondary Outcome
    Title Percentage of Participants With a Favorable Microbiological Response at Completion of IV Study Therapy Who Had Imipenem-resistant, Gram-negative cUTI Infections.
    Description 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.
    Time Frame At time of last IV dose of study drug (up to post-randomization day 14)
