Or, the subject is practicing abstinence from sexual intercourse. Subjects must be willing to practice these methods for the duration of the trial and for at least 35 days after last dose of study medication. 4.

Subjects who failed prior antibacterial treatment for the current cIAI can be enrolled but must: (a) have a positive culture (from an intraabdominal site) and (b) require surgical intervention. Such subjects can be enrolled before the results of the culture are known; however, if the culture is negative, study drug administration must be discontinued. 9. Willing and able to comply with all study procedures and restrictions. Are the trial subjects under 18? no Number of subjects for this age range: F.1.2 Adults (18-64 years) yes F.1.2.1 Number of subjects for this age range 780 F.1.3 Elderly (>=65 years) no F.1.3.1 Number of subjects for this age range
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: 1. Diagnosis of abdominal wall abscess; small bowel obstruction or ischemic bowel disease without perforation. 2. Simple appendicitis; acute suppurative cholangitis; infected necrotizing pancreatitis; pancreatic abscess; or pelvic infections. 3. Spontaneous [primary] bacterial peritonitis associated with cirrhosis and chronic ascites. 4. Complicated intraabdominal infection managed by staged abdominal repair (STAR), open abdomen technique including temporary closure of the abdomen, or any situation where infection source control is not likely to be achieved. 5. Known prior to randomization to have an IAI or postoperative infection caused by pathogen(s) resistant to meropenem. 6. Use of systemic antibiotic therapy for IAI for more than 24 hours prior to the first dose of study drug, unless there is a documented treatment failure with such therapy. 7. More than one dose of an active non-study antibacterial regimen given postoperatively. For subjects enrolled preoperatively, no postoperative non-study antibacterial therapy is allowed. 8. Subjects who previously received imipenem, meropenem, doripenem or cefepime for the current intraabdominal infection. 9. Have a concomitant infection at the time of randomization, which requires non-study systemic antibacterial therapy in addition to IV study drug therapy. (Drugs with only gram-positive activity [e.g., daptomycin, vancomycin, linezolid] are allowed). 10. Severe impairment of renal function (estimated creatinine clearance [CrCl] 4 x upper limit of normal (ULN) b. Total bilirubin > 2 x ULN, unrelated to cholecystitis c. Alkaline phosphatase > 4 x ULN. Subjects with a value > 4 x ULN and < 5 x ULN are eligible if this value is historically stable d. Acute or chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, acute hepatic failure, acute decompensation of chronic hepatic failure. 12. Hematocrit < 25% or hemoglobin < 8 gm/dL. 13. Neutropenia with absolute neutrophil count < 1000 /mm3. 14. Platelet count < 75,000 /mm3. Subjects with a platelet count as low as 50,000 /mm3 are permitted if the reduction is historically stable. 15. Considered unlikely to survive the 4- to 5-week study period. 16. Any rapidly-progressing disease or immediately life-threatening illness (including respiratory failure and septic shock). 17. Immunocompromising condition, including established Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS), hematological malignancy, or bone marrow transplantation, or immunosuppressive therapy including cancer chemotherapy, medications for prevention of organ transplantation rejection, or the administration of corticosteroids equivalent to or greater than 40 mg of prednisone per day administered continuously for more than 14 days preceding randomization. 18. Have a documented history of any moderate or severe hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to any ?-lactam antibacterial (a history of a mild rash followed by uneventful re-exposure is not a contraindication to enrollment), including cephalosporins, carbapenems, penicillins, or ß-lactamase inhibitors, or metronidazole, or nitroimidazole derivatives. 19. Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the safety of the subject or t

| Main Objective: To demonstrate the non-inferiority of CXA-201 and metronidazole vs. meropenem in adult subjects with complicated intraabdominal infection (cIAI) based on the 95% confidence interval (CI) around the difference in clinical cure rates at the TOC visit (26 to 30 days after the initiation of study drug administration) in the microbiological intent-to-treat (MITT) population.;Secondary Objective: ? To demonstrate the non-inferiority of CXA-201 and metronidazole vs. meropenem in adult subjects with cIAI based on the 95% CI around the difference in clinical cure rates at the TOC visit (26 to 30 days after the initiation of study drug administration) in the microbiologically evaluable (ME) population . ? To compare the clinical response of CXA-201 and metronidazole to that of meropenem at the TOC visit in the clinically evaluable (CE) population. ? To compare the microbiological response of CXA-201 and metronidazole to that of meropenem at the TOC visit. ? To compare the clinical and microbiological responses of CXA-201 and metronidazole versus meropenem at the EOT (within 24 hours of last dose of treatment) and LFU visit (38-45days post first dose of study drug) ? To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CXA-201 in adult subjects with cIAI.;Primary end point(s): Clinical cure rate at the TOC visit in the primary MITT population.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: The primary statistical goal of this study is to establish non-inferiority of CXA-201 plus metronidazole to meropenem with respect to proportion of subjects in the MITT primary analysis population who achieve clinical cure at TOC visit. A 95% CI (normal approximation to the binomial distribution) around the difference in clinical cure rate (CXA-201 minus meropenem) will be calculated. CXA-201 plus metronidazole will be considered non-inferior to meropenem if the lower limit of the 95% CI if the difference in cure rate (CXA-201 minus meropenem) at TOC among subjects in the MITT populatio | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): Additional secondary goals are to compare CXA-201 plus metronidazole to meropenem with respect to following end points: (1) clinical cure rate at TOC in the CE population, (2) microbiological eradication rate (per-subject) at TOC in the ME population, (3) perpathogen microbiological eradication rate at TOC in the ME population, and (4) proportion of subjects with superinfections or new infections in the MITT population. A 95% CI will be obtained for the difference in rates between CXA-201 and meropenem.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: For the secondary statistical goal, a 95% CI will also be obtained for the difference in the clinical cure rate at TOC in the ME population. CXA-201 plus metronidazole will be considered non-inferior to meropenem if the lower limit of the 95% CI if the difference in cure rate (CXA-201 minus meropenem) at TOC among subjects in the ME population is greater than minus 12.5%. | — |
