| NCT02739997 | Study of Ceftolozane/Tazobactam (MK-7625A) in Combination With Metronidazole in Japanese Participants With Complicated Intra-abdominal Infection (MK-7625A-013) | PHASE3 | COMPLETED | 100 | — | — | Apr 8, 2016 | Jul 28, 2017 | Aug 9, 2018 | - | — |
The percentage of participants with clinical responses (cure, failure, or indeterminate) at TOC was determined. Clinical cure was defined as "complete resolution or significant improvement in signs and symptoms of the index infection, such that no additional antibacterial therapy or surgical or drainage procedure is required". Clinical failure was defined as "death related to IAI at any time point; persisting or recurrent infection within the abdomen requiring additional intervention to cure; need for treatment with additional antibiotics for ongoing IAI symptoms; or post-surgical wound infection that requires additional antimicrobial therapy and/or non-routing wound care". Indeterminate was defined as "study data are not available for evaluation for any reason, including death during the study period unrelated to the index infection; or extenuating circumstances that preclude classification as cure or failure".
The percentage of participants with ≥1 AEs was determined. An AE is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical study participant, temporally associated with the use of study intervention, whether or not considered related to the study intervention.
The percentage of participants withdrawing from study therapy due to an AE was determined.
