Study summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of intravenous CXA 101 and comparator in complicated urinary tract infection

Read the detailed description

This is a Phase 2, multicenter, prospective, randomized, double-blind, comparative efficacy and safety study of IV CXA 101 versus IV ceftazidime for 7 to 10 days.

Subjects are followed up 6 to 9 days after the last dose of study drug to assess clinical signs and symptoms of infection. A Late Follow Up evaluation (21 to 28 days after the last dose of study drug) occurs for those subjects who respond to therapy. The primary assessment of effectiveness is the microbiological response (the eradication at post-therapy of the infectious organism identified at the start of study). An additional assessment of efficacy includes the overall clinical response, which is described as cured, improved, or failed. Safety assessments include the incidence of adverse events throughout the study, clinical laboratory tests (hematology, serum chemistry, and urinalysis) and physical examinations at the start of the study and post-therapy.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Oct 18, 2018, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
