    5. Study Description

    Brief Summary
    This study aims to compare treatment with a fixed-dose combination (FDC) of imipenem/relebactam/cilastatin (IMI/REL) with a FDC of piperacillin/tazobactam (PIP/TAZ) in participants with hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP or VAPB, respectively). The primary hypothesis is that IMI/REL is non-inferior to PIP/TAZ in the incidence rate of all-cause mortality.
