A randomized, double-blind double-dummy Phase 3 study performed at multiple study sites to evaluate the safety, efficacy and tolerability of the combinational product Carbavance (Meropenem/RPX7009) in comparison to Piperacillin/Tazobactam which is already approved in many countries to treat patients with complicated urinary tract infections, including acute pyelonephritis, in adults.

1. A signed informed consent form, the ability to understand the study
conduct and tasks that are required for study participation, and a
willingness to cooperate with all tasks, tests, and examinations as
required by the protocol.
2. Male or female =18 years of age.
3. Weight =185 kg.
4. Expectation, in the judgment of the Investigator, that the subject's cUTI or AP requires initial treatment with at least 5 days of IV antibiotics.
5. Documented or suspected cUTI or AP as defined in the protocol.
6. Expectation, in the judgment of the Investigator, that any indwelling
urinary catheter or instrumentation (including nephrostomy tubes
and/or indwelling stents) will be removed or replaced (if removal is not clinically acceptable) before or as soon as possible, but not longer than
12 hours, after randomization.
7. Expectation, in the judgment of the Investigator, that the subject will
survive with effective antibiotic therapy and appropriate supportive care
for the anticipated duration of the study.
8. Women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test
before randomization, and be willing to use a highly effective method of
contraception between randomization and for 7 days after the
completion of the study. A highly effective method of contraception
includes two of the following: hormonal implants/patch, injectable
hormones, oral hormonal contraceptives, prior bilateral oophorectomy,
prior hysterectomy, prior bilateral tubal ligation, intra-uterine device,
approved cervical ring, condom, true abstinence (if approved by the
Investigator), or a vasectomized partner.
9. Willingness to comply with all the study procedures, whether in the
hospital or after discharge, for the duration of the study.

chronic bacterial prostatitis as determined by history and/or physical
examination.
3. Gross hematuria requiring intervention other than administration of
study drug.
4. Urinary tract surgery within 7 days prior to randomization or urinary
tract surgery planned during the study period (except surgery required
to relieve an obstruction or place a stent or nephrostomy).
5. Renal function at screening as estimated by creatinine clearance <30
mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula.
6. Known non-renal source of infection such as endocarditis,
osteomyelitis, abscess, meningitis, or pneumonia diagnosed within 7
days prior to randomization.
7. Any of the following signs of severe sepsis:
a. Shock or profound hypotension defined as systolic blood pressure <90
mmHg or a decrease of >40 mmHg from baseline (if known) that is not
responsive to fluid challenge;
b. Hypothermia (oral or tympanic temperature <35.6°C [<96.1°F] or
rectal/core temperature <35.9°C [<96.6°F]);
c. Disseminated intravascular coagulation as evidenced by prothrombin
time or partial thromboplastin time =2 × the upper limit of normal (ULN)
or platelets <50% of the lower limit of normal.
8. Pregnant or breastfeeding women.
9. History of epilepsy or known seizure disorder requiring current
treatment with anti-seizure medication.
10. Treatment within 30 days prior to enrollment with valproic acid.
11. Treatment within 30 days prior to enrollment with probenecid.
12. Treatment within 30 days prior to enrollment with any cancer
chemotherapy, immunosuppressive medications for transplantation, or medications for rejection of transplantation.
13. Evidence of significant hepatic disease or dysfunction, including
known acute viral hepatitis or hepatic encephalopathy.
14. Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) or alanine aminotransferase (ALT)
>3 × ULN, or total bilirubin > 1.5 × ULN.
15. Receipt of any investigational medication or investigational device
during
the last 30 days prior to randomization.
16. Prior exposure to RPX7009 alone or in combination with another
product.
17. Receipt of any potentially therapeutic antibiotic agent within 48
hours before randomization.
EXCEPTIONS are listed in the protocol.
18. Requirement at time of enrollment for any reason for additional
systemic antibiotic therapy (other than study drug) or antifungal
therapy. Topical antifungal or a single oral dose of any antifungal
treatment for vaginal candidiasis will be allowed.
19. Likely to require the use of an antibiotic for cUTI prophylaxis during
the subject's participation in the study (from enrollment through the LFU
visit).
20. Known history of human immunodeficiency virus infection with a
CD4 count <200/mm3.
