Urinary Tract Infections Clinical Trial

Official title: A Multicenter, Phase 3 Study of the Safety and Effectiveness of Doripenem in Complicated Lower Urinary Tract Infection or Pyelonephritis

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to assess the microbiological cure rate of doripenem in the treatment of patients with complicated urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis. The study will also characterize the safety and tolerability of treatment with doripenem in patients with complicated urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis.

Clinical Trial Description

Doripenem is an antibiotic medication not yet approved by the US FDA. This is a phase 3, multi-center, prospective, open-label, single-arm study of doripenem in the treatment of complicated lower urinary tract infection or pyelonephritis in adults.
