What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Overall Response at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (Micro-ITT) Population
Overall response includes combined clinical cure plus microbiological eradication. Clinical cure is defined as a complete resolution or significant improvement of signs and symptoms of cUTI or AP present at baseline and no new symptoms, such that no further antibacterial therapy is warranted, and participant is alive. Microbiological eradication (favorable microbiological response) is defined as a reduction of baseline uropathogens to <10^3 CFU/mL and negative repeated blood culture if blood culture was positive for uropathogen growth at baseline and participant is alive.
Measured: At Day 17 (TOC)
Secondary outcomes (19)
Number of Participants With Overall Response (Combined Per-Participant Clinical Cure and Favorable Microbiological Response) at the TOC Visit in the Microbiologically Evaluable (ME) Population
Overall response includes combined clinical cure plus microbiological eradication. Clinical cure is defined as a complete resolution or significant improvement of signs and symptoms of cUTI or AP present at baseline and no new symptoms, such that no further antibacterial therapy is warranted, and participant is alive.

Number of Participants With at Least One Treatment-emergent Adverse Events (TEAEs) and Serious Adverse Events
An Adverse Event (AE) was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product, which does not necessarily have to have a causal relationship with the treatment. An AE can therefore be any unfavorable and unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, or disease temporally associated with the use of a medicinal investigational/experimental) product, whether or not related to this product. Serious Adverse Event (SAE) is any AE occurring at any dose and regardless of causality that results in death, is life threatening, requires immediate or prolongation of hospitalization, results in significant disability, congenital anomaly and is a medically important reaction. TEAEs are defined as events that are newly occurring or worsening from the time of the first dose of IP through LFU.
Measured: From first dose of study drug (Day 1) up to last follow-up visit (Day 28)
Plasma Concentrations of TBP-PI-HBr

Primary outcome
Number of Participants With Overall Response at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (Micro-ITT) Population
Time frame: At Day 17 (TOC)
Overall response includes combined clinical cure plus microbiological eradication. Clinical cure is defined as a complete resolution or significant improvement of signs and symptoms of cUTI or AP present at baseline and no new symptoms, such that no further antibacterial therapy is warranted, and participant is alive. Microbiological eradication (favorable microbiological response) is defined as a reduction of baseline uropathogens to <10^3 CFU/mL and negative repeated blood culture if blood culture was positive for uropathogen growth at baseline and participant is alive.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing TBP-PI-HBr, Imipenem-cilastatin and Dummy Infusion in people with Urinary Tract Infection and Acute Pyelonephritis, run by Spero Therapeutics at 85 sites in 19 countries.
The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 15 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.
Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?
The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 10 Mar 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 85 sites in Bulgaria, Argentina, Romania, Brazil, Estonia and 14 more countries. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.
What does this phase mean?
Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 10 Mar 2026). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.
How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?
The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.
What does the primary outcome measure?
Number of Participants With Overall Response at the Test-of-Cure (TOC) Visit in the Microbiological Intent-to-Treat (Micro-ITT) Population (time frame: At Day 17 (TOC)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?
No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.
How often is this information updated?
AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 10 Mar 2026; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
