Efficacy and Safety of Imipenem+Cilastatin/Relebactam (MK-7655A) Versus Colistimethate Sodium + Imipenem+Cilastatin in Imipenem-Resistant Bacterial Infection (MK-7655A-013)

The study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of imipenem+cilastatin/relebactam (MK-7655A) versus colistimethate sodium + imipenem+cilastatin in the treatment of imipenem-resistant bacterial infections. Infections evaluated in the study will be hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP), ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI), and complicated urinary tract infection (cUTI).
