  • Use of intermittent urethral catheterization or presence of an indwelling urethral catheter (Note: indwelling urethral catheters that have been in place for >24 hours prior to Screening must be removed or replaced prior to collection of the screening urine for urinalysis and culture, unless removal or replacement is considered unsafe or contraindicated)
  • Current known functional or anatomical abnormality of the urogenital tract, including anatomic malformations or neurogenic bladder, or with a postvoid residual urine volume of ≥100 mL
  • Complete or partial obstructive uropathy (e.g., nephrolithiasis, tumour, fibrosis, urethral stricture) that is expected to be medically or surgically treated during study drug therapy (prior to EOT)
  • Azotemia, defined as blood urea nitrogen >20 mg/dL (or blood urea >42.8 mg/dL) or serum creatinine >1.4 mg/dL, due to known prior intrinsic renal disease

  • ONE of the following new-onset or worsening symptoms or signs:
  • Fever (oral, tympanic, or rectal temperature >38°C [>100.4°F]), which must be observed and documented by a health care provider
  • Nausea or vomiting
  • Dysuria, increased urinary frequency, or urinary urgency Note: If criteria for both cUTI and AP are met, AP will be considered the study entry diagnosis for randomization and analysis purposes. 4. Evidence of pyuria within 48 hours prior to randomization, as determined by an adequate midstream clean-catch urine specimen or other appropriate method that minimizes the risk of bacterial contamination with ONE of the following findings:
  • Positive leukocyte esterase on urinalysis, (where positive result is at least "++" or moderate as indicated on a urine dipstick)
  • White blood cell (WBC) count ≥10 cells/mm3 in unspun urine -WBC count ≥10 cells/high-power field in urine sediment (spun urine) Note: The screening/baseline urine sample (within 48 hours prior to randomization) will be submitted for culture; however, trial participants may be randomized and administered study drug therapy prior to knowledge of screening/baseline urine culture results. 5. If known, the screening/baseline urine culture taken within 48 hours prior to randomization contains ≥105 colony forming units (CFU)/mL of a gram negative uropathogen likely to be susceptible to CAZ-AVI.

Expectation, in the judgment of the investigator, that any implanted urinary instrumentation (e.g., nephrostomy tubes, ureteric stents) will be surgically removed or replaced before randomization or within 24 hours after randomization, unless removal or replacement is considered unsafe or contraindicated; note that temporary urethral catheters that have been in place for >24 hours prior to Screening must be removed or replaced prior to collection of the Screening urine sample for urinalysis and culture, unless removal or replacement is considered unsafe or contraindicated.
  • Note: Urinary stone(s) (nephrolithiasis) present at Screening are also considered a removable source of infection.

  • Postmenopausal (defined by amenorrhea for at least 24 months following cessation of all exogenous hormonal treatments)
  • Combined (oestrogen and progestogen containing) hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, intravaginal, or transdermal)
  • Progestogen-only hormonal contraception associated with inhibition of ovulation (oral, injectable, or implantable)
  • Intrauterine device
  • Intrauterine hormone-releasing system
  • Sexual intercourse with only vasectomized partners, or
  • Abstinence, defined as refraining from heterosexual intercourse during the entire period of risk associated with the study treatments. The reliability of sexual abstinence needs to be evaluated in relation to the duration of the clinical trial and the preferred and usual lifestyle of the trial participant Note: A serum or urine pregnancy test will be performed at Screening for all female participants except those who are documented postmenopausal or surgically sterile.
  • A negative result is required to confirm eligibility. All males must agree to use an acceptable barrier method of birth control (i.e., condom) with female partner(s) and must not donate sperm from Screening through TOC.

About this study

Official title: A Phase 2, Randomized, Open-Label, Multicentre, Comparative 3 Arm Study to Evaluate the Efficacy And Safety of Intravenous Ertapenem-zidebactam Versus Ceftazidime-Avibactam in the Treatment of Complicated Urinary Tract Infection or Acute Pyelonephritis in Adults

This is a Phase 2 randomized open label multicentre three arm comparative study evaluating the efficacy safety tolerability and pharmacokinetics of intravenous ertapenem zidebactam ERT ZID compared with ceftazidime avibactam CAZ AVI in adults with complicated urinary tract infection cUTI or acute pyelonephritis AP. Approximately 279 hospitalized participants aged 18 years and above will be enrolled from approximately 30 study sites in India and Europe and randomized in a 1 to 1 to 1 ratio to receive ERT ZID for 5 to 7 days ERT ZID for 7 to 10 days or CAZ AVI for 7 to 10 days. The primary endpoint is overall success at Test of Cure defined by clinical cure and microbiological eradication. Secondary assessments include clinical response microbiological response by pathogen outcomes pharmacokinetic parameters and plasma protein binding with safety monitored through adverse events laboratory tests vital signs and electrocardiograms.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Ertapenem-zidebactam, Ceftazidime-Avibactam and Ertapenam-Zidebactam in people with Complicated Urinary Tract Infections(cUTI) and Acute Pyelonephritis, run by Wockhardt at 19 sites in India.

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 34 inclusion and 32 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Sep 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 19 sites in India. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Ranjeet Gutte Vice President, Global Clinical Development (9819858489, rgutte@wockhardt.com), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Clinical Outcome at Test of Cure (TOC) - mMITT Analysis Set: (time frame: Day 17 +3 days (TOC)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Sep 2026.
