Clinical Trial Summary

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of a FDC of imipenem/cilastatin (IMI) and relebactam (REL) [IMI/REL, MK-7655A] compared to piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP/TAZ) in the treatment of adults diagnosed with Hospital-Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia (HABP) or Ventilator-Associated Bacterial Pneumonia (VABP). The primary hypothesis is that IMI/REL is non-inferior to PIP/TAZ as measured by the incidence rate of all-cause mortality through Day 28 post-randomization.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary Percentage of Participants With All-cause Mortality Through Day 28 in the Modified Intent to Treat (MITT) Population For each participant, survival status was assessed at Day 28 post-randomization and recorded on the electronic Case Report Form. The percentage of participants with all-cause mortality through Day 28 in the MITT population is presented. Up to approximately 28 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving a Favorable Clinical Response at Early Follow-up (EFU) Visit in the MITT Population Clinical response was defined as "Sustained cure" (All pretherapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved or returned to preinfection status with no evidence of resurgence AND no additional antibiotic therapy was required for the index infection) or "Cure" (All pretherapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved or returned to preinfection status AND no additional antibiotic therapy was required for the index infection). The percentage of participants achieving a favorable clinical response at EFU visit in the MITT population is presented. Up to approximately 27 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving a Favorable Clinical Response at EFU Visit in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population Clinical response was defined as "Sustained cure" (All pretherapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved or returned to preinfection status with no evidence of resurgence) AND no additional antibiotic therapy was required for the index infection or "Cure" (All pretherapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved or returned to preinfection status) AND no additional antibiotic therapy was required for the index infection. The percentage of participants achieving a favorable clinical response at EFU visit in the CE population is presented. Up to approximately 27 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving a Favorable Clinical Response at End of Therapy (EOT) Visit in the MITT Population Clinical response was defined as "Improved" (The majority of pre-therapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have improved or resolved or returned to "pre-infection status" AND no additional antibiotic therapy was required) or "Cure" (All pretherapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved or returned to preinfection status AND no additional antibiotic therapy was required for the index infection). The percentage of participants achieving a favorable clinical response at EOT visit in the MITT population is presented. Up to approximately 14 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving a Favorable Clinical Response at EOT Visit in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) Population Clinical response was defined as "Improved" (The majority of pre-therapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have improved or resolved or returned to "pre-infection status" AND no additional antibiotic therapy is required) or "Cure" (All pretherapy signs and symptoms of the index infection have resolved or returned to preinfection status) AND no additional antibiotic therapy is required for the index infection. The percentage of participants achieving a favorable clinical response at End of Treatment (EOT) visit in the CE population is presented. Up to approximately 14 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving a Favorable Microbiological Response at EOT Visit in Microbiological Modified Intent-To-Treat Population (mMITT) Population Favorable overall microbiological response rates were defined as "eradication" (A lower respiratory tract culture taken at the EOT visit showed eradication of the pathogen found at study entry) OR "presumed eradication" (No specimen taken because participant was deemed clinically cured or improved) of the baseline pathogen. The percentage of participants achieving a favorable microbiological response at EOT visit in the mMITT population is presented. Up to approximately 14 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving a Favorable Microbiological Response at EFU Visit in Microbiological-evaluable (ME) Population. A favorable by-pathogen microbiological response at EFU visit required "eradication" (A lower respiratory tract culture taken at the EFU visit showed eradication of the pathogen found at study entry) or "presumed eradication" (No specimen taken because participant was deemed clinically cured or improved) of the baseline pathogen. The percentage of participants achieving a favorable microbiological response at EFU visit in the ME population is presented. Up to approximately 27 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Achieving a Favorable Microbiological Response at EOT Visit in the ME Population Favorable overall microbiological response rates was defined as "eradication" (A lower respiratory tract culture taken at the EOT visit showed eradication of the pathogen found at study entry) OR "presumed eradication" (No specimen taken because participant was deemed clinically cured or improved) of the baseline pathogen. The percentage of participants achieving a favorable microbiological response at End of Treatment (EOT) visit in the ME population is presented. Up to approximately 14 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Experiencing Adverse Events (AEs) An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants experiencing an AE was reported for each arm. Up to approximately 98 days
Secondary Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to AEs An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant, temporally associated with the use of study treatment, whether or not considered related to the study treatment. The percentage of participants that discontinued study therapy due to an AE was reported for each arm. Up to approximately 14 days
