Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

Active Comparator

Arm Label

CAZ-AVI + Vancomycin or Linezolid

Standard of Care+Vancomycin or Linezolid

Arm Description

Ceftazidime-Avibactam (CAZ-AVI) 2.5 mg intravenous (IV) infusion every 8 hours for 5 to 14 days, duration determined by the investigator, plus vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV or linezolid 600 mg IV every 12 hours. A switch to open-label oral or IV therapy (IV therapy for outpatient or home administration per local standard of care [SOC]) may be allowed after at least 72 hours (ie, minimum of 9 doses for CAZ-AVI) of inpatient IV study drug.

Standard of Care (cefepime 2 g IV infusion every 8 hours or meropenem 1 g IV infusion every 8 hours or piperacillin/tazobactam 4.5 g IV infusion every 6 hours for 5 to 14 days, duration determined by the investigator) plus vancomycin 15 mg/kg IV or linezolid 600 mg IV every 12 hours. A switch to open-label oral or IV therapy (IV therapy for outpatient or home administration per local SOC) may be allowed after at least 72 hours (ie, minimum of 9 doses for SOC therapies, except piperacillin/tazobactam, which is a minimum of 12 doses) of inpatient IV study drug.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Percentage of Patients With Favorable Clinical Response at End of Inpatient Intravenous Therapy (EOIV)
Favorable clinical response is defined as resolution of all acute signs and symptoms of the primary infection or improvement to such an extent that no additional antibacterial therapy is required as assessed by the investigator. Due to study termination and limited enrollment, outcome measures were not analyzed.
