Safety and Efficacy Study of Cefepime-AAI101 in the Treatment of Complicated Urinary Tract Infections
United States, Argentina, Belarus1,043 participantsStarted 2018-09-24
Plain-language summary
Multi-center, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority study of cefepime 2 g/AAI101 500 mg combination compared to piperacillin 4 g/tazobactam 500 mg in a population of adult patients with cUTI or AP. The study will be conducted in approximately 115 sites located in the EU, the US, Central, South America and South Africa.

Inclusion criteria
. Male or female patients \>18 years of age at the time of signing of informed consent;
. Expectation that the patient's cUTI or AP will require hospitalisation and initial treatment with at least 7 days of intravenous (i.v.) antibiotics;
. Female patients who are no longer of childbearing potential
. Female patients of childbearing potential must have a negative urine and/or serum pregnancy test (serum β-human chorionic gonadotropin) within 1 day prior to study entry;
. Male patients, female patients receiving hormone replacement therapy (HRT), and female patients of childbearing potential must agree to use highly effective contraception methods
. Pyuria, defined as: a. White blood cell count \>10 cells/mm3 in unspun urine or ≥10 cells/high power field in spun urine sediment; or b. Urinalysis/dipstick analysis positive for leukocyte esterase;
Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1Based on my diagnosis and history, is this trial worth exploring for me — or is there a standard treatment we should try first?
2What does this trial's phase tell us about how much is already known about its safety and benefit?
3What would taking part actually involve for me — visits, tests, time, and travel?
4What are the known and possible risks or side effects I should weigh, and how would they be monitored?
5If this trial isn't the right fit, what other options or trials would you suggest I look into?
Generated to help you prepare — always confirm anything about your own eligibility and care with the study team and your doctor.
Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
What they're measuring
1
Proportion of patients in the Microbiological Modified Intent to Treat (m-MITT) Population who achieve overall treatment success at Test Of Cure (TOC)
Timeframe: 7 days after EOT [±2 days] for patients receiving 7 days of treatment and 19 days after randomization [±2 days] for patients receiving more than 7 days of treatment.
. Have a baseline urine culture specimen obtained within 48 hours prior to randomization
Exclusion criteria
. Known urine culture with Gram-positive primary pathogen at ≥105 colony-forming units (CFU)/mL (not contaminant) or suspected Gram-positive pathogen by Gram staining (Note: Gram staining is optional);
. History of significant hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to cefepime, piperacillin/tazobactam, any of the excipients used in the respective formulations, any beta-lactam antibiotics (e.g., cephalosporins, penicillins, carbapenems, or monobactams), or any beta-lactamase inhibitors (e.g., tazobactam, sulbactam, or clavulanic acid);
. In the opinion of the Investigator, the patient is considered unlikely to survive the approximately 6-week study period;
. Weight \>180 kg;
. Concurrent infection that would interfere with evaluation of response to the study antibiotics;
. Need for or receipt of concomitant systemic antimicrobial agents after signing of informed consent, in addition to those designated in the study-treatment groups, with the exception of a single oral dose of any antifungal treatment for vaginal candidiasis;
. Receipt of potentially effective systemic antibacterial therapy for a continuous duration of \> 24 hours during the previous 72 hours before the study-qualifying baseline urine is obtained;
. Complicated urinary tract infection (UTI) known at study entry to be caused by pathogens resistant to the study antibiotics;
