Efficacy and Safety of Imipenem+Cilastatin/Relebactam (MK-7655A) Versus Colistimethate Sodium+Imipenem+Cilastatin in Imipenem-Resistant Bacterial Infection (MK-7655A-013) (RESTORE-IMI 1)
Bacterial Infections
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Bacterial Infections
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Hospitalization that requires treatment with IV antibiotic therapy for a new, persistent or progressing bacterial infection involving at least 1 of 3 primary infection types (HABP, VABP, cIAI, or cUTI)
- Positive culture data from the primary infection-site specimen collected within 1 week of study entry. At least one of the suspected causative pathogens from the specimen meets all of the following: 1) identified as a Gram-negative bacterium, 2) culture-confirmed imipenem resistance (and colistin resistance for Group 3 only), 3) culture-confirmed susceptibility to imipenem/relebactam and to colistin (for Groups 1 and 2 only)
- Not of reproductive potential, or of reproductive potential and agrees to avoid becoming pregnant or impregnating a partner by complying with one of the following: 1) practice abstinence, or 2) use of acceptable contraception during heterosexual activity
Exclusion Criteria:
- Concurrent infection (endocarditis, osteomyelitis, meningitis, prosthetic joint infection, disseminated fungal infection, or active pulmonary tuberculosis) that would interfere with evaluation of the response to the study antibiotics
- Received treatment with any form of systemic colistin for >24 hours within 72 hours before initiation of study drug (for Groups 1 and 2 only)
- HABP or VABP caused by an obstructive process
- cUTI which meets any of the following: 1) complete obstruction of any portion of the urinary tract, 2) known ileal loop, 3) intractable vesico-ureteral reflux, 4) presence of an indwelling urinary catheter which cannot be removed at study entry
- History of serious allergy, hypersensitivity, or any serious reaction to listed antibiotics (per-protocol)
- Female who is pregnant or is expecting to conceive (or a male partner of a female who is expecting to conceive), is breastfeeding, or plans to breastfeed before completion of the study
- Anticipated treatment with any of the following during the study: valproic acid or divalproex sodium, or concomitant systemic (e.g. IV, oral or inhaled) antimicrobial agents with known Gram-negative bacterial coverage
- Currently undergoing hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis
- Participated or anticipates participating in any other clinical study involving administration of investigational medication up to 30 days before screening or during the course of the trial

Group 1: Imipenem+Cilastatin/Relebactam
Group 2: Colistimethate sodium + Imipenem+Cilastatin
Group 3: Imipenem+Cilastatin/Relebactam
Participants will be stratified by infection type (HABP/VABP, cIAI, and cUTI) and randomized to receive imipenem+cilastatin/relebactam intravenous (IV) infusion once every 6 hours and placebo for colistimethate sodium IV infusion once every 12 hours for 5 to 21 days for cIAI and cUTI or for 7 to 21 days for HABP or VABP. Treatment durations >21 days may be approved by the Sponsor for participants requiring longer treatment duration.

Treatment durations >21 days may be approved by the Sponsor for participants requiring longer treatment duration.
Participants with documented imipenem-resistant and colistin-resistant bacterial infections may be eligible to receive open-label imipenem+cilastatin/relebactam IV infusion once every 6 hours for 5 to 21 days for cIAI and cUTI or for 7 to 21 days for HABP or VABP. Treatment durations >21 days may be approved by the Sponsor for participants requiring longer treatment duration.
