Brief summary
This study is a multi-center, randomized, single-blind, parallel-group study to assess the efficacy and safety, when nacubactam is coadministered with cefepime or aztreonam, compared with best available therapy (BAT), in the treatment of patients with cUTI, AP, HABP, VABP, and cIAI, due to Carbapenem Resistant Enterobacterales.
Interventions
2 g cefepime and 1 g nacubactam every 8 hours for at least 5 days and up to 14 days via IV infusion over a period of 60 minutes
2 g aztreonam and 1 g nacubactam every 8 hours for at least 5 days and up to 14 days via IV infusion over a period of 60 minutes
Dosage of BAT will be based per site's standard of care

Weight at most 140 kg; 3. The following criteria must be satisfied: a. For known CRE infection, meets either of the following (i or ii): i. Has a known CRE infection, alone or as a single isolate of a polymicrobial infection, based on evidence from CRE culture, susceptibility testing, and possible carbapenemase phenotypic testing (or possible molecular testing) within 72 hours (or 96 hours for cIAI) prior to the first dose of study drug; AND Has received no more than 24 hours of an antimicrobial agent to which the known CRE is known to be susceptible within 72 hours (or 96 hours for cIAI) prior to the first dose of study drug; OR ii.

For suspected CRE infection, meets the following (i or ii): i. Has a suspected CRE infection, alone or as a single isolate of a polymicrobial infection, based on evidence which may be determined within 90 days prior to the first dose of study drug through rapid diagnostic tests, active surveillance cultures, other documentation of CRE colonization, or prior infection due to a CRE pathogen; AND Has received no more than 24 hours of empiric antimicrobial therapy for Gram negative organisms within 72 hours (or 96 hours for cIAI) prior to the first dose of study drug; ii. Has a suspected CRE infection, alone or as a single isolate of a polymicrobial infection, based on evidence which may be determined within 90 days prior to the first dose of study drug through rapid diagnostic tests, active surveillance cultures, other documentation of CRE colonization, or prior infection due to a CRE pathogen; AND Has documented clinical evidence of failure (ie, clinical deterioration or failure to improve) after at least 48 hours of treatment with empiric antimicrobial therapy for Gram-negative organisms within 72 hours (or 96 hours for cIAI) prior to the first dose of study drug; Note: CRE is defined as Enterobacterales by susceptibility data of MIC at least 2 microg/mL to imipenem or meropenem OR imipenem or meropenem disk diffusion (zone diameter \< 22 mm). If MIC or disk diffusion data are not available in the local laboratory or before the availability of MIC or disk diffusion results, each site can use other methods and criteria in the institution (eg, phenotypic or molecular testing) as the initial evidence of CRE for enrollment. In any case, pathogen identification and susceptibility testing performed at the central laboratory will be used to determine CRE in the final study analysis.
Exclusion criteria
