About
This is a Phase III, randomized, double-blind, multicenter, non-inferiority study to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of FEP-TAZ vs. meropenem in the treatment of hospitalized adults with cUTI or AP.
Full description
Approximately 1004 hospitalized adult subjects (≥18 years of age) diagnosed with cUTI or AP will be enrolled in the study. The diagnosis of cUTI or AP will be based on a combination of clinical symptoms and signs plus the presence of pyuria
Subjects will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio according to an Interactive Response Technology (IRT) electronic system to receive either FEP-TAZ 4 g (2 g cefepime + 2 g tazobactam) IV every eight hours (q8h) or meropenem 1 g IV q8h. FEP-TAZ will be administered as 2 consecutive infusions of 2 g (1 g cefepime + 1 g tazobactam)
