Study of the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Relebactam (MK-7655) + Imipenem/Cilastatin Versus Imipenem/Cilastatin Alone to Treat Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection [cIAI] (MK-7655-004)

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of adding 125 mg or 250 mg doses of relebactam (MK-7655) to imipenem/cilastatin in adults 18 years or older with Complicated Intra-Abdominal Infection (cIAI). The primary hypothesis is that the relebactam + imipenem/cilastatin treatment regimen is non-inferior to treatment with imipenem/cilastatin alone with respect to the percentage of participants with a favorable clinical response at completion of intravenous (IV) study therapy.
