Study Endpoints
Primary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response (Clinical Cure, Clinical Failure, or Indeterminate) at Test of Cure (TOC)
Day 28 (28 days after initiating study therapy)

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".

Percentage of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)
Up to Day 42 (up to 28 days after completing study therapy)

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.

Percentage of Participants Discontinuing Study Drug Due to AEs
Up to Day 14

The percentage of participants withdrawing from study therapy due to an AE was determined.

Secondary Endpoints
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response (Clinical Cure, Clinical Failure, or Indeterminate) at End Of Therapy (EOT)
Up to Day 14
Percentage of Participants With Clinical Response (Clinical Cure, Clinical Failure, or Indeterminate) at Late Follow-Up (LFU)
Up to Day 42 (28 days after completing study therapy)
Percentage of Participants With Microbiological Response (Eradication, Persistence, or Indeterminate) at EOT
Up to Day 14
