Recruitment details

This study was conducted at 67 hospitals in 15 countries. Participants diagnosed with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTIs) with or without pyelonephritis or acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis were enrolled from February 5, 2015 to August 16, 2016.

Pre-assignment details

Participants were randomly assigned (2:1) to receive either cefiderocol or imipenem-cilastatin. Randomization was stratified by clinical diagnosis (complicated urinary tract infection with or without pyelonephritis or with acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis) and region (North America, Europe, Russia, and Japan).

Percentage of Participants With Composite Response of Microbiological Eradication and Clinical Response at Test of Cure

The primary efficacy endpoint was the composite outcome of clinical response and microbiological response at the test of cure assessment, defined as 7 days (±2 days) after the end of antibiotic treatment. Clinical response was based on the investigator's evaluation of the participant's clinical signs and symptoms, with response defined as resolution or improvement of complicated urinary tract infection symptoms present at study entry and the absence of new symptoms. Microbiological outcome was based on quantitative microbiological urine cultures, with eradication defined as the bacterial pathogen found at study entry at \> 1 × 10⁵ CFU/mL reduced to 1 × 10⁴ CFU/mL or less.

Clinical response was based on the investigator's evaluation of the participant's clinical signs and symptoms, with response defined as resolution or improvement of complicated urinary tract infection symptoms present at study entry and the absence of new symptoms. Microbiological outcome was based on quantitative microbiological urine cultures, with eradication defined as the bacterial pathogen found at study entry at \> 1 × 10⁵ CFU/mL reduced to 1 × 10⁴ CFU/mL or less.
