E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
To demonstrate the non-inferiority of CXA-201 and metronidazole vs. meropenem in adult subjects with complicated intraabdominal infection (cIAI) based on the 99% confidence interval (CI) around
the difference in clinical cure rates at the TOC visit (26 to 30 days after the initiation of study drug administration) in the microbiological intent-to-treat (MITT) population. |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
- To demonstrate the non-inferiority of CXA-201 and metronidazole vs. meropenem in adult subjects with cIAI based on the 99% CI around the difference in clinical cure rates at the TOC visit (26 to 30 days after the initiation of study drug administration) in the microbiologically evaluable (ME)
population .
- To compare the clinical response of CXA-201 and metronidazole to that of meropenem at the TOC visit in the clinically evaluable (CE) population.
- To compare the microbiological response of CXA-201 and
metronidazole to that of meropenem at the TOC visit.
- To compare the clinical and microbiological responses of CXA-201 and metronidazole versus meropenem at the EOT (within 24 hours of last dose of treatment) and LFU visit (38-45 days post
first dose of study drug)
- To evaluate the safety and tolerability of CXA-201 in adult subjects with cIAI. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Clinical cure rate at the TOC visit in the primary MITT population. |
|
E.5.1.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
The primary statistical goal of this study is to establish non-inferiority of CXA-201 plus metronidazole to meropenem with respect to proportion of subjects in the MITT primary analysis population who achieve clinical cure at TOC visit. A 99% CI (normal approximation to the binomial
distribution) around the difference in clinical cure rate ([CXA-201 plus metronidazole] minus meropenem) will be calculated. CXA-201 plus metronidazole will be considered non-inferior to meropenem if the lower limit of the 99% CI if the difference in cure rate ([CXA-201 plus metronidazole] minus meropenem) at TOC among subjects in the MITT population is greater than minus 12.5%. |
|
E.5.2 | Secondary end point(s) |
• Clinical cure rate at the TOC visit in ME population.
• Clinical cure rate at the TOC visit in the CE population.
• Microbiological eradication rates (per-subject) at the TOC visit in the ME population.
• Per-pathogen microbiologic eradication rates at the TOC visit in the ME population.
• Proportion of subjects with a superinfection or a new infection in the MITT population. |
|
E.5.2.1 | Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point |
For the secondary statistical goal, a 99% CI will also be obtained for the difference in the clinical cure rate at TOC in the ME population. CXA-201 plus metronidazole will be considered non-inferior to meropenem if the lower limit of the 99% CI if the difference in cure rate ([CXA-201 plus metronidazole] minus meropenem) at TOC among subjects in the ME population is greater than minus 12.5%. |
