Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effects of Ceftazidime Avibactam plus Metronidazole compared to Meropenem for treating hospitalized patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • 18 to 90 years of age inclusive
  • Female patient is authorized to participate if at least one of the following criteria are met:
  • Surgical sterilization
  • Age ≥50 years and postmenopausal as defined by amenorrhea for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments
  • Age <50 years and postmenopausal as defined by documented LH and FSH levels in the postmenopausal range PLUS amenorrhea for 12 months or more following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments
  • Patient has a negative serum pregnancy test (serum ß-human chorionic gonadotropin [ß-hCG]) within 1 day prior to study entry, and agrees to use highly effective contraception methods during treatment and for at least 7 days after last dose of IV study therapy
  • Intraoperative/postoperative enrollment with confirmation (presence of pus within the abdominal cavity) of an intra-abdominal infection associated with peritonitis
  • Confirmation of infection by surgical intervention within 24 hours of entry: evidence of systemic inflammatory response; physical findings consistent with intra-abdominal infection; supportive radiologic imaging findings of intra-abdominal infections

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patient is diagnosed with traumatic bowel perforation undergoing surgery within 12 hours; perforation of gastroduodenal ulcers undergoing surgery within 24 hours. Other intra-abdominal processes in which primary etiology is not likely to be infectious
  • Patient has abdominal wall abscess or bowel obstruction without perforation or ischemic bowel without perforation
  • Patient has suspected intra-abdominal infections due to fungus, parasites, virus or tuberculosis
  • Patient is considered unlikely to survive the 6 to 8 week study period or has a rapidly progressive or terminal illness, including septic shock that is associated with a high risk of mortality
