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 amendment 2.
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.

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.

17. Receipt of any potentially therapeutic antibiotic agent within 48 hours before randomization. Please refer to the protocol for more details.
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.
