Summary

The primary purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of oral TBP-PI-HBr as compared with intravenous (IV) imipenem-cilastatin with respect to the overall response (combined clinical cure plus microbiological eradication) at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) visit in hospitalized adult participants (greater than or equal to (≥)18 years of age) with cUTI or AP.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Have a diagnosis of cUTI or AP.
  • Have an adequate urine specimen for evaluation and culture obtained within 24 hours prior to randomization with evidence of pyuria that includes at least one of the following:
  • at least 10 white blood cells (WBCs) per high power field (HPF) in urine sediment
  • at least 10 WBCs per millimeters cubed (mm^3) in unspun urine
  • positive leukocyte esterase (LE) on urinalysis Note: Participants may be randomized and administered study drug prior to knowledge of urine culture results, but pyuria must be documented.
  • Expectation, in the judgment of the Investigator, that the participant will survive with effective antimicrobial therapy and appropriate supportive care for the anticipated duration of the study.

Exclusion Criteria

  • Presence of any known or suspected disease or condition that may confound the assessment of efficacy.
  • Gross hematuria requiring intervention other than administration of study drug or removal/placement of urinary tract instrumentation.
  • Urinary tract surgery within 7 days prior to randomization or urinary tract surgery planned during the study period.
  • Creatinine clearance (CrCl) of ≤30 milliliters per minute (mL/min), as estimated by the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
  • Anticipated concomitant use of non-study antimicrobial drug therapy between randomization and the LFU visit that would potentially effect outcome evaluations of cUTI/AP.
  • Receipt of a potentially effective antimicrobial within 72 hours prior to study randomization.
  • Severe hepatic impairment at Screening, as evidenced by alanine aminotransferase (ALT) or aspartate aminotransferase (AST) >5×upper limit of normal (ULN) or total bilirubin >3×ULN, or clinical signs of cirrhosis or end-stage hepatic disease (e.g., ascites, hepatic encephalopathy).
  • Pregnant or lactating women.
  • History of epilepsy or known seizure disorder (excluding a history of childhood febrile seizures).
  • History of proven or suspected Clostridioides difficile associated diarrhoea.
  • History of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection.
  • QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula (QTcF) >480 milliseconds (msec) based on screening ECG.
  • History of known genetic metabolism anomaly associated with carnitine deficiency.
  • Requirement for concomitant use of valproic acid, divalproex sodium, or probenecid between randomization and EOT.

Note: Other inclusion and exclusion criteria as per protocol may apply.
