Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of adding 125 mg or 250 mg doses of MK-7655 (relebactam) to imipenem/cilastatin in adults 18 years or older with complica...

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion

  • \- Clinically suspected and/or bacteriologically documented cUTI or acute
  • pyelonephritis judged by the investigator to be serious (requiring hospitalization and treatment with IV antibiotic therapy)
  • \- Pyuria, determined by a midstream clean-catch (MSCC) or catheterized
  • (indwelling or straight catheter) urine specimen with greater than or equal to 10 white blood cells (WBCs) per high-power field (hpf) on standard examination of urine sediment or greater than or equal to 10 WBCs/mm3 in unspun urine
  • \- One positive urine culture within 48 hours of enrollment

Exclusion

  • \- Complete obstruction of any portion of the urinary tract (requiring a
  • permanent indwelling urinary catheter or instrumentation), a known ileal loop, or intractable vesico-ureteral reflux
  • A temporary indwelling urinary catheter is in place and cannot be removed at study entry.
  • Perinephric or intrarenal abscess or known or suspected prostatitis
  • Uncomplicated UTI
  • Any history of recent accidental trauma to the pelvis or urinary tract
  • Any amount of effective antibiotic therapy after obtaining the urine culture for admission to this study and prior to the administration of the first dose of IV study therapy
  • An infection which has been treated with greater than 24 hours of systemic antibiotic therapy known to be effective against the presumed or documented etiologic pathogen(s) within the 72-hour period immediately prior to consideration for entry into the study
  • History of serious allergy, hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis), or any
  • serious reaction to carbapenem antibiotics, any cephalosporins, penicillins, or other beta (β)-lactam agents
  • History of serious allergy, hypersensitivity (e.g., anaphylaxis), or any serious reaction to other beta-lactam inhibitors (e.g., tazobactam, sulbactam, clavulanic acid)
  • History of a seizure disorder
  • Currently being treated with valproic acid or has received treatment with
  • valproic acid in the 2 weeks prior to screening.
  • Rapidly progressive or terminal illness unlikely to survive the approximately 6 to 8 week study period
  • Pregnant or expecting to conceive, breast feeding, or plans to breast feed
  • during the study
  • \- A response to all study therapy (IV study therapy or subsequent oral
  • ciprofloxacin) within the timeframe of treatment specified in this protocol is
  • considered unlikely.
  • \- Concurrent infection that would interfere with evaluation of response to
  • the study antibiotics
  • \- Need for concomitant systemic antimicrobial agents in addition to those
  • designated in the various study treatment groups (use of vancomycin, daptomycin, or linezolid is allowed for certain infections)
  • cUTI due to a confirmed fungal pathogen
  • Currently receiving immunosuppressive therapy, including use of high-dose
  • corticosteroids
  • Prior recipient of a renal transplantation
  • Laboratory abnormalities as specified in protocol
  • History of any other illness that, in the opinion of the investigator, might
  • confound the results of the study or pose additional risk in administering the study drug
  • \- Currently participating in, or has participated in, any other clinical study
  • involving the administration of investigational or experimental medication (not
  • licensed by regulatory agencies) at the time of presentation or during the previous 30 days prior to screening or is anticipated to participate in such a clinical study during the course of this trial
  • \- Estimated or actual creatinine clearance of \<5 mL/minute, or is currently undergoing hemodialysis
