Study 
Objectives 
The objectives of this study are: 
• 
To evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Carbavance™ (meropenem/ 
RPX7009) in treatment of subjects with selected serious infections, suspected 
or known to be due to CRE; and 
• 
To assess the pharmacokinetics (PK) of meropenem and RPX7009 in subjects 
with selected serious infections, suspected or known to be due to CRE. 
Rationale  
 
 
Beta-lactam antimicrobials are considered to be among the most useful classes of 
antimicrobial agents for treatment of bacterial infections. In particular, the 
development of broad-spectrum cephalosporin and carbapenem antimicrobials have 
represented a key advancement in replacing other classes of drugs with toxicities 
and limited spectra of activity against pathogens.  
In the current era of increased resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins and 
penicillin/beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations, carbapenem antimicrobial agents 
are frequently the antibiotics of “last defense” for the most resistant pathogens in 
serious infections. However, the recent dissemination of serine carbapenemases 
(e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase [KPC]) in Enterobacteriaceae within 
many United States and global hospitals now poses a considerable threat to 
carbapenem and other members of the beta-lactam class of antimicrobial agents.  
Infections caused by CRE are associated with high mortality rates and have limited 
treatment options. The loss of the carbapenem class of antimicrobial agents for 
treatment of Enterobacteriaceae (the most frequently occurring pathogens in the 
hospital setting), Acinetobacter baumannii, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa 
represents a critical setback in modern patient care. 
As a result of the current lack of an optimal treatment for patients who have 
infections due to a CRE, physicians manage these patients with the limited 
anti-infective options available, including aminoglycosides, polymyxin B, colistin, 
tigecycline, or various combinations of these. There are limited efficacy data 
available for many of these therapies when used to treat serious CRE infections, 
particularly in combination, but with limited or no alternative therapies currently

available, such treatments have become the Best Available Therapy (BAT) despite 
the toxicities associated with many of them. 
Meropenem is a broad-spectrum injectable carbapenem antibiotic used to treat a 
wide variety of infections. The spectrum of action includes many gram-positive 
bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, and anaerobic bacteria, and it is approved in many 
countries around the world at doses up to 2 g every 8 hours (q8h). Three-hour 
infusions of meropenem are commonly used to treat organisms with higher 
minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to 
maximize the time above the MIC. 
RPX7009 is a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor that has inhibitory activity against 
many serine beta-lactamases and was optimized for inhibition of the KPC 
beta-lactamase and the potentiation of carbapenems against Enterobacteriaceae. 
RPX7009 is being developed for use with meropenem to address the challenges of 
treatment of serious infections caused by pathogens increasingly resistant to 
available treatments.  
Carbavance, the combination of meropenem and RPX7009 administered as a fixed 
combination by intravenous (IV) infusion, is being developed to treat serious 
gram-negative infections, such as cUTI, AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP, and bacteremia, 
including those infections caused by bacteria resistant to currently available 
carbapenems. 
Study Design  
 
 
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, open-label study of Carbavance 
(meropenem/RPX7009) versus BAT in the treatment of subjects with selected 
serious infections, specifically cUTI or AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP, and bacteremia, 
suspected or known to be caused by CRE. 
Approximately 150 subjects will be enrolled in a 2:1 ratio of Carbavance to BAT, 
respectively. 
The Treatment Arms in the study are as follows: 
• 
Treatment Arm A: Subjects (n = 100) will receive Carbavance (meropenem 2 g 
plus RPX7009 2 g) IV q8h, with each dose infused for 3 hours for up to 14 days. 
NOTE: Dose adjustments will be required for subjects with renal insufficiency. 
• 
Treatment Arm B: Subjects (n = 50) will receive BAT with IV antibiotics chosen 
from the following list, either in combination or alone, for up to 14 days: 
carbapenem (meropenem, ertapenem, or imipenem), tigecycline, colistin, 
aminoglycoside (amikacin, tobramycin, or gentamicin), polymyxin B, and 
ceftazidime-avibactam. 
Subjects (or subjects’ legal representatives) providing informed consent, meeting all 
study eligibility criteria including those criteria for their particular site of infection 
(e.g., cUTI or AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP, and bacteremia), and who have either a 
known CRE infection or a suspected CRE infection (based on colonization with a 
KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae organism [which may be determined through 
rapid diagnostic tests, active surveillance cultures, or other documentation of CRE 
colonization] in the past 90 days, or prior infection due to a CRE pathogen that was 
treated within the past 90 days) will be randomized to receive Carbavance 
(meropenem/RPX7009) or BAT.

Any isolated bacterial pathogen will be identified by genus and species. The local 
laboratory will culture each subject sample for pathogen identification, 
quantification, and susceptibility testing. Isolated pathogens collected at the time 
points listed in the Schedule of Procedures and cultured at the local laboratory will 
be sent to the central laboratory for confirmation of identification and testing results.  
Day 1 is defined as the first day of study drug administration (Carbavance 
[meropenem/RPX7009] or BAT). Subsequent study days are defined by the number 
of calendar days thereafter. The planned total duration of IV study drug therapy is 
up to 14 days. A subject assessed as a clinical cure must receive 5 days of study 
drug therapy, and a subject assessed as a clinical failure must receive 3 days of 
study drug therapy. 
End of Treatment (EOT) will be the day on which the final dose of study drug is 
administered (+1 day). The Test of Cure (TOC) visit and Late Follow-up (LFU) visit 
will occur at the time points listed in the Schedule of Procedures. 
An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review accumulated 
safety data for this study and Rempex-505 when the total combined enrollment in 
both trials is approximately 25% (250 subjects) and 50% (500 subjects). They will 
also review serious adverse events on an ongoing basis. They will make 
recommendations to the Sponsor based on this safety data. Further details regarding 
the data safety monitoring guidelines will be included in the DSMB Charter, which 
is the governing document of the DSMB. 
In order to ensure unbiased assessment of outcomes between treatment arms 
subjects will not be informed what treatment arm they are assigned. Efforts should 
be made to keep subjects treatment naïve throughout the course of the study. At each 
site a Blinded Investigator (BI) will be assigned to assess each subject’s baseline 
status and Outcome Assessment during the EOT and TOC visits. A blinded 
adjudication committee will also be formed to independently evaluate clinical 
outcome data in cases where the Principal Investigator (PI) and BI’s assessment of 
outcome differ. Further details regarding the blinded adjudication committee will be 
included in a Blinded Adjudication Committee Charter, which is the governing 
document of the committee.  
Number of 
Subjects 
The study will enroll approximately 150 subjects with serious infections, of whom 
a proportion will have CRE infections across the following indications: cUTI or AP, 
cIAI, HABP, VABP, and bacteremia. Hospital acquired bacterial pneumonia and 
VABP will be stratified separately. Subjects will be stratified at randomization based 
on their presenting indication (cUTI/AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP, or bacteremia) and 
by region (North America vs. Europe vs. Asia Pacific vs. Rest of World). 
Enrollment will continue until at least 45 subjects (30 Carbavance [meropenem/ 
RPX7009], 15 BAT) with cUTI or AP are documented to have a CRE organism at 
baseline and until at least 30 subjects with cIAI with a documented CRE organism 
at baseline (20 Carbavance [meropenem/RPX7009], 10 BAT) are enrolled.  Once 
the specified number of subjects are enrolled in the cUTI and/or cIAI indications, 
data from these subjects may be submitted to regulatory agencies in support of a 
marketing application, and the enrollment of additional subjects into the specific 
indication(s) where enrollment was met may be stopped.

Microbiology 
Accurate microbiologic results are critical to successfully meet the study objectives. 
All specimens will be sent to the local laboratory for culture and susceptibility 
testing per institutional standards. For all carbapenem-resistant gram-negative 
organisms, the MIC to carbapenems will be captured in the electronic Case Report 
Form (eCRF). Susceptibility to Carbavance as determined by Kirby-Bauer disk 
methodology will be captured at baseline. If the resistance mechanism for each 
carbapenem-resistant organism cultured during the study is known, it should be 
captured in source documents.  
Any isolated bacteria deemed to be contributory to the infectious process will be 
designated a pathogen by the PI and identified by genus and species. The local 
laboratory will culture each sample for organism identification, quantification (when 
applicable), and susceptibility testing per institutional standards. CRE isolates at 
baseline, and all post-baseline isolates cultured at the local laboratory and designated 
as pathogens by the PI will be sent to the central laboratory (Medpace Reference 
Laboratory [MRL]) for confirmation of identification and susceptibility testing 
results. 
All subjects must have a specimen sample from the site of infection (i.e., blood, 
urine, intra-abdominal fluid/tissue, or respiratory secretion) and two sets of blood 
samples from two separate venipuncture sites collected immediately prior to the first

dose of study drug (or for cIAI specimens, 96 hours before or 24 hours after the first 
dose of study drug), and submitted to the local microbiology laboratory for culture 
and susceptibility testing. When it is not possible to collect specimens for culture 
immediately prior to the first dose of study drug, cultures that have been obtained 
no more than 72 hours (or 96 hours for cIAI) prior to the first dose of study drug are 
acceptable. The results of this culture will determine whether the subject meets the 
criteria for the Microbiological CRE Modified Intent-to-Treat (mCRE-MITT) 
Population or the Microbiological Modified Intent-to-Treat (m-MITT) Population. 
Kirby-Bauer disks for Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) susceptibility testing 
will be provided by the Sponsor for baseline testing. Susceptibility testing for BAT 
and other antimicrobials will be done per each institution’s standard procedures. In 
instances where susceptibility testing indicates resistance to the study drug but the 
subject is clinically improving, the subject should remain on study drug at the 
Investigator’s discretion. 
If the screening sample for culture is taken per standard of care before the subject 
(or the subject’s legal representative) signs informed consent, that isolate may be 
used for baseline and sent to the central laboratory once consent is obtained as long 
as the sample was collected no more than 72 hours before (or 96 hours for cIAI 
specimens) the first dose of study drug. 
Urine Specimens 
For subjects with cUTI or AP, urine samples will be collected by clean-catch 
midstream, from a newly-inserted Foley catheter (no bag specimens allowed), 
bladder needle aspiration, or ureter aspiration. 
CRE isolates at baseline, and all post-baseline isolates cultured at the local 
laboratory and designated as pathogens by the PI will be sent to the central 
laboratory for confirmation of identification and susceptibility testing results.  
The baseline urine cultures must grow at least one defined bacterial pathogen at 
concentration of 105 CFU/mL. Up to 2 isolated pathogens will be allowed per 
baseline urine culture provided they are at concentrations of 105 CFU/mL of urine. 
The baseline urine samples submitted for culture must have a microscopic 
evaluation (e.g., gram stain) and a dipstick analysis performed by the local 
microbiology laboratory.  
For all post-baseline urine cultures, only pathogens at concentrations of 103 
CFU/mL of urine will be sent to the central laboratory.  Up to 2 isolated pathogens 
will be allowed per post-baseline urine culture provided they are at concentrations 
of 103 CFU/mL. 
For both baseline and post-baseline cultures - if a subject grows 3 or more bacterial 
organisms in the urine, the urine culture will be considered contaminated. An 
organism will not be considered a contaminant if the organism also grows in a 
concurrently obtained blood culture.  Isolates from contaminated samples should not 
be sent to the central lab. 
culture.  Isolates from contaminated samples should not be sent to the central lab. 
Intra-abdominal Cultures  
For subjects with cIAI, acceptable specimens should include at least one intra-
abdominal culture obtained during the time of surgical (or percutaneous)

intervention. The specimen must be collected within approximately 96 hours before 
or 24 hours after of the first dose of study drug (preferably prior to study drug 
administration). Baseline specimens should be sent for gram stain, pathogen 
identification and susceptibility testing at the local laboratory. Isolates from the 
baseline specimen will also be sent to the central laboratory for confirmatory testing. 
Post-baseline specimens should be collected as clinically indicated and sent to the 
local laboratory for testing. Isolates from all post-baseline specimens should be sent 
to the central laboratory for confirmatory testing. 
To be considered adequate, a specimen should consist of at least 1mL of fluid or 
tissue representative of the material associated with the clinical infection.  
Gram stains will be conducted per institutional standards and gram stain data should 
be captured in source documents. If any intra-abdominal culture is performed 
(including cultures taken on swab), pathogens exhibiting significant growth on 
cultures identified by the site laboratory’s routine procedures should be sent to the 
central lab, even if from a specimen that does not meet the aforementioned adequacy 
criteria.   
Respiratory Tract Specimens 
For subjects with HABP or VABP, acceptable specimens should include at least 
one positive pretreatment sample obtained by Protected Specimen Brush (PSB) with 
bronchial alveolar lavage (BAL) or mini-BAL, non-bronchoscopic-BAL (NBBAL), 
or Protected Endotracheal Catheter obtained prior to randomization and treatment. 
Non-ventilated subjects may have specimens obtained via deep expectoration or 
expectorated/induced sputum.  
All specimens should be sent for gram stain, quantitative culture, pathogen 
identification and susceptibility testing.  
To be adequate, respiratory samples from expectorated or induced sputum should 
show <10 squamous epithelial cells and >25 polymorphonuclear neutrophils per 
100x field. Colony counts 103 CFU/mL are considered the threshold for identifying 
pathologic bacteria from PSB and the CombiCath® NBBAL, 104 CFU/mL for 
bronchoscopic BAL or the BALCath NBBAL, and 106 CFU/mL for endotracheal 
aspirate specimens.  
Gram stains will be conducted per institutional standards, and gram stain data should 
be captured in source documents. Colony counts are not expected to be performed 
on expectorated or induced sputum. If the sputum is cultured, all pathogens 
exhibiting significant growth identified by the site laboratory’s routine procedures 
should be sent to the central lab, even if from a specimen that does not meet the 
specimen adequacy criteria described above. 
Blood and Other Tissue Specimens 
Two sets of samples from 2 separate venipuncture sites are required for blood 
cultures in all study participants. If a blood culture is positive at baseline, daily blood 
cultures will be collected until the first negative blood culture (culture reading at 
24 hours or more).  
Additional blood cultures, including blood cultures taken during fever spikes (oral 
or tympanic temperature 38°C [100.4°F] or rectal/core temperature 38.3°C 
[100.9°F]) may also be collected at the Investigator’s discretion.

Isolated pathogens (e.g., considered not to be a contaminant by the PI) from each 
individual positive blood culture will be sent to the central lab. 
If a tissue sample (e.g., kidney biopsy) is collected to determine target pathogen, it 
should be obtained 72 hours prior to first dose of study drug. The isolated pathogen 
should be shipped to the central laboratory for confirmation and susceptibility 
testing. In the event that pre-randomization urine and blood cultures are negative 
and the subject has a positive tissue culture, the isolated pathogen may qualify as a 
defined baseline CRE pathogen.  
Duration of 
Treatment and 
Trial 
Participation 
The duration of study participation for each subject is approximately 29 days 
(~4 weeks), with a maximum duration of study participation of 31 days: 
• 
Screening (and Randomization) Period, 1 day; 
• 
Treatment Period, 7-14 days (final dose day of study drug is EOT); and 
• 
Follow-up Period, 5-16 days (including TOC and LFU visits). 
Investigational 
Product/Dose/ 
Route/Regimen 
Subjects will receive a dosage regimen of Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) 
consisting of 2 g meropenem plus 2 g RPX7009 via 3-hour IV infusion q8h. Dose 
adjustments 
are 
permitted 
based 
on 
estimated 
creatinine 
clearance 
(Cockcroft-Gault) for subjects with renal insufficiency. 
Subjects will receive infusions every 8 hours (±2 hours). Infusions that fall outside 
of the q8h dosing (± 2 hours) will be captured as protocol deviations. 
Reference 
Therapy, 
Dose/Route 
Subjects will receive BAT, with IV antibiotics, either alone or in combination, 
chosen from the following: carbapenem (meropenem, ertapenem, or imipenem), 
tigecycline, colistin, aminoglycoside (amikacin, tobramycin, or gentamicin), 
polymyxin B, and ceftazidime-avibactam. Ceftazidime-avibactam may also be used 
as BAT, but may not be given in combination with other BAT agents, with the 
exception of concurrent aminoglycoside therapy for either 72 hours/pending 
susceptibility testing in patients with cIAI, HABP, VABP and bacteremia, similar 
to Carbavance (see Concomitant Antibiotics below). Details for dose and frequency 
of administration of BAT (as well as warnings, precautions, and contraindications) 
can be found in the referenced summaries of product characteristics for the specific 
antibacterials selected by the Investigator as BAT. Investigators will be instructed 
to select only country-approved therapies.  
Concomitant 
Antibiotics 
Subjects with cUTI or AP who are randomized to Carbavance (meropenem/ 
RPX7009) or to BAT, and receive ceftazidime-avibactam should receive 
Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or ceftazidime-avibactam alone, respectively. 
Subjects with cIAI, HABP, VABP, or bacteremia who are randomized to 
Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or to BAT and are treated with 
ceftazidime-avibactam should receive Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or 
ceftazidime-avibactam alone, respectively. However, if the Investigator believes it 
is medically necessary, subjects may receive supportive aminoglycoside therapy in 
conjunction with Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or ceftazidime-avibactam 
until culture information is available or for the first 72 hours, whichever is the 
shorter. Aminoglycoside treatment should be discontinued once the subject’s 
organism is shown to be susceptible to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or 
ceftazidime-avibactam and the subject is clinically improving. The use of an 
aminoglycoside beyond 72 hours in subjects with a pathogen(s) susceptible to 
Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or ceftazidime-avibactam will be considered a 
treatment failure.

Efficacy 
Assessments 
 
Efficacy Assessments for cUTI or AP 
Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint for cUTI or AP is defined differently by the EMA and 
FDA. The primary endpoint for the EMA is proportion of subjects in the 
mCRE-MITT Population that demonstrate microbiological eradication (See 
table below). The primary endpoint for the FDA is the proportion of subjects in 
the mCRE-MITT Population who demonstrate a response of overall success at 
the TOC visit (See table below). 
To meet the primary endpoint for EMA and FDA, a subject’s gram-negative 
antimicrobial therapy to treat the baseline infection cannot be altered (other than 
dose adjustment or modification of BAT based on susceptibility of baseline 
pathogen within the first 72 hours after first dose of study drug) after 
randomization due to concerns of microbiological failure, clinical failure, or 
tolerability AND the following at TOC:

antimicrobial therapy to treat the baseline infection cannot be altered (other than 
dose adjustment or modification of BAT based on susceptibility of baseline 
pathogen within the first 72 hours after first dose of study drug) after 
randomization due to concerns of microbiological failure, clinical failure, or

Efficacy Assessments for Bacteremia 
Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint for bacteremia is the all-cause mortality rate in the 
mCRE-MITT Population at Day 28 for all subjects with HABP and VABP, 
combined with all subjects with bacteremia (not related to cUTI/AP or 
HABP/VABP).

For subjects whose gram-negative antimicrobial therapy to treat the baseline 
infection is not altered (other than dose adjustment or modification of BAT 
based on susceptibility of baseline pathogen within the first 72 hours after 
first dose of study drug) after randomization due to concerns of 
microbiological failure, clinical failure, or tolerability, a response of success 
is defined by clearance of bacteremia (microbiological eradication) and a 
clinical assessment of cure.  
Clearance of bacteremia (microbiological eradication) is defined as the

Exploratory analyses will be conducted based on subject evaluability and may 
include clinical and microbiological responses in various analysis populations at 
EOT, TOC, and LFU. 
Safety 
Assessments 
The following will be assessed to determine the safety of Carbavance 
(meropenem/RPX7009): 
• 
Assessment of adverse events from Day 1 through LFU visit (or, if applicable, 
early termination visit); and 
• 
Changes from baseline in physical examination findings, electrocardiograms 
(ECGs), safety laboratory test results, and vital signs will be evaluated. 
Data Analysis 
 
Sample Size Justification 
Due to the infeasibility of recruiting a large number of subjects infected with CRE 
pathogens, no formal power calculations have been performed for this study. The 
sample size is based on practical considerations.  
Criteria for Outcome Measures 
Study populations are as follows: ITT, MITT, Safety Population, m-MITT, 
mCRE-MITT (i.e., Primary Efficacy Population), CE, ME, and CRE-ME. Please 
refer to the Statistical Analysis Populations diagram provided in Appendix 1. 
Efficacy 
The efficacy analyses will be descriptive summaries of the proportion of subjects in 
the mCRE-MITT Population at the TOC visit with a response of success defined 
according to primary indication. A descriptive summary of all-cause mortality for 
subjects with HABP, VABP, and bacteremia will be provided. Two-sided, exact 
binomial 95% confidence intervals for the true proportion of responses of success 
for the primary efficacy endpoint will be reported. 
Exploratory analyses will be conducted based on subject evaluability and may 
include clinical and microbiological responses in various analysis populations at 
EOT, TOC, and LFU. 
Pharmacokinetics 
Pharmacokinetic characterization, evaluation of plasma PK, and exposures of 
meropenem and RPX7009 in treated subjects will be performed. Analysis of the PK 
data will be described in a separate Statistical Analysis Plan. 
A pharmacodynamic analysis will be conducted to link meropenem and RPX7009 
exposures in each subject with clinical and microbiological outcomes. 
Safety 
All subjects who receive at least 1 dose of study drug (i.e., the MITT Population) 
will be included in the safety analyses and analyzed based on actual treatment 
received. Adverse events will be collected throughout the study duration. 
Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) will be tabulated by National Cancer 
Institute Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events Grade. The number and 
percentage of subjects in each treatment group reporting at least 1 occurrence of a 
TEAE for each unique System Organ Class and Preferred Term will be tabulated. 
Treatment-emergent adverse events will also be tabulated by severity and by the 
relationship to study drug in treatment groups as assessed by the Investigator. The 
number and percentage of subjects in each treatment group reporting at least 
1 occurrence of a serious adverse event will be tabulated. The number and 
percentage of subjects (in each treatment group) prematurely discontinuing study

drug treatment due to a TEAE will be tabulated by System Organ Class and 
Preferred Term.  
Safety laboratory data will be presented by change from baseline. The number and 
percentage of subjects with laboratory, vital sign, ECG, or physical examination 
abnormalities at baseline, subsequent visits, or early termination from the study will 
be tabulated by treatment group. The results of all laboratory test results, physical 
examination findings, ECGs, and vital signs will be presented in data listings.

Page 29 of 116 
a. Screening/baseline procedures may be performed up to 24 hours prior to the first dose of study drug. All screening procedures must be completed PRIOR to randomization and the first 
dose of study drug (Day 1). The date of the first dose of study drug will be considered Day 1, and subsequent study days are defined by calendar days thereafter. 
b. All subjects will be assessed on their last day of treatment (any time from Day 7 to Day 14). The EOT visit activities should occur within 24 hours of last dose of study drug. If EOT is on 
Day 7, visit activities will be combined. If a subject’s treatment is changed after 72-hours post-randomization, EOT procedures will be performed and the subject will complete further 
visits as planned. 
c. The TOC visit will occur 7 days (±2 days) after EOT, between Day 12 and Day 23. Any subject receiving treatment for less than 7 days should have a TOC visit on Day 12 (+2 days). 
d. The LFU visit will occur 14 days (±2 days) after EOT, between Day 19 to Day 30. The LFU visit should be performed in-house (with limited physical examination) if at all possible. If 
not possible, a phone call to assess the subject’s wellbeing may be substituted. Any subject receiving treatment for less than 7 days should receive an LFU visit on Day 19 (+2 days). For 
outpatient subjects with an LFU visit occurring before Day 28, a phone call to assess survival will be made on Day 28.  
e. Subjects are expected to complete all study visits. In circumstances where a subject discontinues the study early, early termination visit procedures are required. 
f. Demographic data will be collected, including name, sex, age, race, weight, and alcohol use. 
g. Height will be taken at screening only. A limited, symptom-based, physical examination will be performed at indicated visits. If a subject does not display symptoms, no limited physical 
examination needs to be performed. 
h. Assessment of signs and symptoms will include assessments to classify as new onset, continuing (increased, decreased, no change), or resolved (returned to pre-infection state) 
indication-based symptoms as outlined in the protocol.  
i. Vital signs include blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature. Vital signs should be captured at approximately the same time as the Signs and Symptoms assessment.  
j. A urine and serum pregnancy test will be performed before the first dose of study drug in women of childbearing potential, however, only urine results are required to initiate treatment. 
A urine and serum pregnancy test will be performed as part of EOT/early termination procedures. 
k. Screening laboratories will be processed/analyzed by the local laboratory within 48 hours of randomization and include: AST, ALT, total bilirubin, creatinine, WBC count with 
differentials, platelet count, and LCE in urine. 
l. Laboratory samples will be collected, processed, and sent to the central laboratory for analysis. Hematology includes complete blood count (with red blood cell count, total WBC count 
with differential counts, platelet count, hemoglobin, and hematocrit). Serum chemistry includes creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, blood urea nitrogen, AST, ALT, alkaline 
phosphatase, total bilirubin, uric acid, lipase, amylase, albumin, total protein, glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, calcium, and phosphorus. Urinalysis includes dipstick 
analysis of protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, nitrites, LCE, and urobilinogen; microscopic evaluation for red blood cells, WBCs, bacteria, and casts; specific gravity; and pH. 
m. For subjects randomized to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) only: Day 1 plasma PK samples will be collected within 30 minutes and 2 to 3 hours after the end of the first infusion. 
Day 3 and Day 5 plasma PK samples will be collected within 30 minutes after the end of one of that day’s infusions. 
n. Blood cultures are required from all study participants at baseline. All subjects with bacteremia will have daily blood cultures collected until the first negative blood culture (culture 
reading at 24 hours or more). Subsequent blood cultures may be collected at the Investigator’s discretion, but are not required. Isolates from each positive culture will be sent to the 
central laboratory.  
o. An adequate and appropriate infection site-specific specimen based upon diagnosis (e.g., cUTI or AP, cIAI, HABP, or VABP) should be obtained immediately prior to the first dose of 
study drug (or for cIAI, 96 hours before or 24 hours after the first dose of study drug) and submitted to the local microbiology laboratory for culture and susceptibility testing. If the 
screening sample for culture is taken per standard of care before the subject or the subject’s legal representative signs informed consent, that isolate may be used for baseline and sent to 
the central laboratory once consent is obtained as long as the sample was collected within 72 hours (96 hours for cIAI) of the first dose of study drug. Additional samples for culture 
should also be collected at the specified time points. If at any point in the study a subject fails while on therapy, an adequate and appropriate specimen should be obtained prior to the 
initiation of a new treatment.  When bacteremia is a subject’s primary index infection, daily blood cultures will be collected until the first negative blood culture (culture reading at 
24 hours or more). When cIAI is the subject’s baseline infection, post-baseline samples should be collected as clinically indicated. 
p. A chest x-ray, MRI, or CT scan done within 48 hours of enrollment is acceptable. 
q.  The Blinded Investigator will be responsible for establishing a baseline level of health and performing outcome assessments independent of the unblinded staff per the Blinded 
Adjudication Charter.

INTRODUCTION 
Beta-lactam antimicrobials are considered to be among the most useful classes of antimicrobial 
agents for treatment of bacterial infections. In particular, the development of broad-spectrum 
cephalosporin and carbapenem antimicrobials have represented a key advancement in replacing 
other classes of drugs with toxicities and limited spectra of activity against pathogens.  
In the current era of increased resistance to extended spectrum cephalosporins and penicillin/ 
beta-lactamase inhibitor combinations, carbapenem antimicrobial agents are frequently the 
antibiotics of “last defense” for the most resistant pathogens in serious infections. However, the 
recent dissemination of serine carbapenemases (e.g., Klebsiella pneumoniae carbapenemase 
[KPC]) in Enterobacteriaceae within many United States (US) and global hospitals now poses a 
considerable threat to carbapenem and other members of the beta-lactam class of antimicrobial 
agents.1,2,3 
Infections caused by carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) are associated with high 
mortality rates and have limited treatment options.1 The loss of the carbapenem class of 
antimicrobial agents for treatment of Enterobacteriaceae (the most frequently occurring pathogens 
in the hospital setting), Acinetobacter baumannii and Pseudomonas aeruginosa represents a 
critical setback in modern patient care. 
Meropenem is a broad-spectrum injectable carbapenem antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of 
infections. The spectrum of action includes many gram-positive bacteria, gram-negative bacteria, 
and anaerobic bacteria, and it is approved in many countries around the world at doses up to 2 g 
every 8 hours (q8h). Three-hour infusions of meropenem are commonly used to treat organisms 
with higher minimum inhibitory concentrations (MICs), such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, to 
maximize the time above the MIC. 
RPX7009 is a novel beta-lactamase inhibitor that has inhibitory activity against many serine 
beta-lactamases and was optimized for inhibition of the KPC beta-lactamase and the potentiation 
of carbapenems against Enterobacteriaceae. RPX7009 is being developed for use with 
meropenem to address the challenges of treatment of serious infections caused by pathogens 
increasingly resistant to available treatments.  
Carbavance, the combination of meropenem and RPX7009 administered as a fixed combination 
by intravenous (IV) infusion, is being developed to treat serious gram-negative infections, such as 
complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), acute pyelonephritis (AP), complicated 
intra-abdominal 
infections 
(cIAI), 
hospital-acquired 
bacterial 
pneumonia 
(HABP), 
ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP), and bacteremia, including those infections 
caused by bacteria resistant to currently available carbapenems. 
7.1 
Overview of the Current Treatment of Infections due to CRE   
As a result of the current lack of an optimal treatment for patients who have infections due to a 
CRE, physicians manage these patients with the limited anti-infective options available, including 
aminoglycosides, polymyxin B, colistin, tigecycline, or various combinations of these. There are 
limited efficacy data available for many of these therapies when used to treat serious CRE 
infections, particularly in combination, but with limited or no alternative therapies currently 
available, such treatments have become the BAT despite the toxicities associated with many of 
them.

To inform on the efficacy of these regimens as well as the target patient population with CRE 
infections, Rempex recently performed an international, multi-center, retrospective study of 
infections due to known CRE (Study 506NH). This study was conducted in 22 major medical 
centers in 4 countries – the US, UK, Italy and Greece. The study population consisted of male and 
female patients, over 18 years of age with serious bacterial infections including cUTI/AP, HABP, 
VABP, and bacteremia due to known carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae occurring over a 
6 month period from September 1, 2013 to March 1, 2014. Data were collected from 257 patients 
with known CRE infections: 76 cases of cUTI/AP, 21 cases of HABP, 20 cases of VABP, and 140 
cases of bacteremia. Among study patients, there was a high prevalence of comorbid conditions: 
overall 33% of study patients had moderate-to-severe renal disease, with 20% requiring 
hemodialysis; 35% of patients had underlying malignancy; 16% of patients had undergone prior 
organ/tissue transplantation; and 16% of patients had deep-tissue infection (predominantly cIAI) 
(See Table 2). The average duration of hospitalization prior to identification of CRE in cultures 
was 22 days. The average duration of hospital stay for the index CRE infection was 14 days, with 
an average duration of intensive care unit stay of 8 days. The outcomes associated with these 
infections were poor. The average 28-day mortality was 28% with an in-house mortality of 33%. 
These mortality rates varied by indication, with cUTI showing the lowest 28-day mortality rate 
(18%) and VABP the highest at 35%. Rates of both clinical and microbiological cure were 
correspondingly poor. Only 41% of patients achieved a response of clinical cure and only 52% of 
patients had a microbiological response of eradication of the baseline pathogen. These data indicate 
the significant comorbidities, the underlying severity of illness and the poor outcomes associated 
with CRE infections and the need for new agents against CRE pathogens.  
Based on these data and in consultation with study investigators and key opinion leaders, the 
current amended protocol more accurately reflects the comorbidities and severity of illness 
associated with patients infected with CRE. The changes include expanded inclusion criteria, 
allowing patients with moderate-severe renal dysfunction, neutropenia, and patients on 
immunosuppressive medications to be included, and a modification of the exclusion criteria – 
eliminating exclusion of patients with neuromuscular disorders, elevated liver function tests, and 
history of seizure disorders. The goal of these changes is to make the study population more 
representative of the eventual target patient population of Carbavance – specifically patients with 
severe infections due to carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae.

7.2 
Carbavance (Meropenem/RPX7009) 
Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) is a combination of the approved carbapenem antibiotic 
meropenem and the investigational beta-lactamase inhibitor RPX7009. This drug combination is 
being developed for IV administration for the treatment of patients with severe gram-negative 
infections, including those caused by bacteria resistant to currently available drugs. 
Meropenem is a broad-spectrum carbapenem antibiotic active against gram-positive and 
gram-negative bacteria, including the Enterobacteriaceae (the most frequently occurring 
pathogens in the hospital setting) and other key pathogens associated with hospital-acquired 
infections, such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter sp., and anaerobes. While meropenem 
has excellent stability to many bacterial beta-lactamases (the major pathway of resistance to 
penicillins and cephalosporins), resistance to meropenem (and other carbapenems) can be 
mediated by Class A serine carbapenemases, especially KPC. Meropenem is approved in most 
countries in the developed world. In many countries, meropenem is approved for treatment of both 
urinary tract infections (UTIs) and cUTIs. In the US, it is marketed under the proprietary name of 
Merrem IV or its generic version, Meropenem for Injection, United States Pharmacopeia (USP), 
and is indicated for the treatment of complicated skin and skin structure infections, complicated 
intra-abdominal infections, and bacterial meningitis.4 Approved dosing regimens for meropenem 
in adults include 500 mg, 1000 mg, and 2000 mg administered as 15- to 30-minute infusions q8h. 
While the approved infusion times for meropenem include bolus and 15- to 30-minute infusions, 
prolonged infusions for administration of meropenem are widely used, including the 3-hour 
infusions planned for evaluation in this study. There is no indication in the literature that the use 
of prolonged infusions affects the established safety profile of meropenem, and prolonged infusion 
of meropenem has been associated with increased probability of target attainment.5 The clinical 
study that evaluated the combination of meropenem and RPX7009, Rempex-501, confirmed that 
meropenem was safe when administered as 3-hour infusions q8h.  
RPX7009 is the first member of a new class of cyclic boronic acid beta-lactamase inhibitors. It has 
no antimicrobial activity alone, but has broad inhibitory activity against several clinically 
important bacterial beta-lactamases, particularly KPC. The pharmacological properties of

RPX7009 enable it to be administered in combination with meropenem. In vitro and in vivo studies 
show that the combination is highly active against gram-negative pathogens, including 
KPC-producing CRE. 
The Sponsor has developed an IV formulation of Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) for 
evaluation in clinical trials, and will administer Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) in a fixed 
combination by IV infusion. 
7.3 
Microbiology 
7.3.1 
Susceptibility Testing 
Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) has primary activity against gram-negative organisms. The 
potency and MICs of Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) have been evaluated against a variety 
of contemporary clinical strains. In the presence of RPX7009, the potency of meropenem was 
enhanced at least 32-fold against a panel of characterized gram-negative test strains. See the 
Investigator’s Brochure.6 
7.4 
Nonclinical Pharmacology and Toxicology 
A toxicology and safety assessment program to support clinical trials with RPX7009 was 
conducted. RPX7009 had no discernible effects in any of the safety pharmacology studies, 
demonstrated a similar pharmacokinetic (PK) profile to that of meropenem in preclinical species 
studies, and was devoid of mutagenic, clastogenic, and genotoxic effects for in vivo and in vitro

7.4.1 
Mechanism of Action 
RPX7009 alone has no antimicrobial activity; however, when combined with meropenem in vitro 
and in vivo, it markedly enhanced the potency of meropenem against Enterobacteriaceae strains 
expressing KPC enzymes. See the Investigator’s Brochure.6 
7.4.2 
Metabolism and Excretion 
There is no evidence of accumulation with multiple RPX7009 doses and no differences in PK 
between males and females. RPX7009 has low plasma protein binding, is stable in human 
microsomes and hepatocytes, and shows no induction or inhibition of cytochrome P450 
isoenzymes. It shows no inhibition of key renal transporters, nor does it appear to be a substrate of 
them. See the Investigator’s Brochure.6

Rempex 402 and Rempex 501 – Single and Multiple-Ascending Dose 
Studies in Healthy Volunteers 
Two ascending-dose studies in healthy volunteers have been conducted. Both studies evaluated 
RPX7009 when administered as a 3-hour infusion q8h for 7 days at a dose range of 250 mg to 2 g. 
The first-in-human study evaluated RPX7009 alone (Study 402), while the second study evaluated 
RPX7009 in combination with 1 g and 2 g doses of meropenem (Rempex-501). The RPX7009 PK

data from these two studies were very consistent and demonstrated the similarity of PK profiles 
between the two drugs, as well as a lack of drug-drug interaction. The PK parameters for RPX7009 
after single and multiple 2 g doses administered either alone or in combination with a 1 g or 2 g 
dose of meropenem are shown in Table 4. The PK parameters of meropenem after single and 
multiple 1 g or 2 g doses administered either alone or in combination with RPX7009 doses of 1 g 
and/or 2 g are shown in Table 5.  
In both clinical studies, RPX7009 exposure in subjects (maximum plasma concentration [Cmax] 
and area under the concentration-time curve [AUC]) increased with increasing dose. The mean 
Cmax and AUC values for RPX7009 following administration of a 2 g dose q8h for 7 days were 
41 mg/L and 145 mg·h/mL, respectively. The terminal half-life was less than 2 hours, resulting in 
no accumulation of drug between multiple doses of RPX7009 alone or in combination with 
meropenem. Volume of distribution and plasma clearance were independent of dose, and mean 
values ranged from 17.50 L to 24.95 L and 10.42 L/h to 17.61 L/h, respectively.  
There were no significant changes in RPX7009 PK when it was administered with 1 g or 2 g doses 
of meropenem. Likewise, the PK parameters for meropenem, and its metabolite, hydrolyzed 
meropenem, remain unchanged with co-administration of RPX7009.

Rempex 503 – Randomized, Open-label Study of the Pulmonary 
Pharmacokinetics of Meropenem and RPX7009 (Carbavance) in Healthy 
Volunteers 
Study 503 was a randomized, open-label study in healthy adult subjects to evaluate the plasma, 
epithelial lining fluid (ELF), and alveolar macrophage (AM) penetration of a single dose level of 
2 g of meropenem/2 g of RPX7009 (Carbavance) after 3 doses, given 8 hours apart, administered 
as 3-hour infusions; safety and tolerability were also evaluated.  
Twenty-five subjects underwent bronchoscopy and BAL at 1 of 5 time points (1.5, 3.25, 4, 6, and 
8 hours) after the third dose of IV meropenem and RPX7009. Bronchial alveolar lavage samples 
provided ELF and AM concentrations for meropenem and RPX7009 for pulmonary PK analysis, 
and blood samples provided plasma concentrations for meropenem and RPX7009 plasma PK 
analysis. 
Preliminary data showed that IV dosing of 2 g meropenem/2 g RPX7009 (Carbavance) every 
8 hours, administered as 3-hour infusions, produced steady-state ELF concentrations of 
approximately 50% and 60% of simultaneous plasma concentrations for RPX700 and meropenem, 
respectively. See the Investigator’s Brochure for details.6

Rempex 504- A Phase 1, Open-Label, Single-dose Study to Determine 
the Safety and Pharmacokinetics of Carbavance in Subjects With Renal 
Insufficiency (Including Subjects on Standard Hemodialysis)  
Study 504 was an open-label study in adult subjects with varying degrees of renal insufficiency, 
including those requiring hemodialysis (HD), or normal renal function. The safety and PK of a 
single IV dose of 1 g meropenem plus 1 g RPX7009 (Carbavance), infused over 3 hours, was 
evaluated. Forty-one subjects were enrolled in 5 groups based on their degree of renal 
insufficiency.  
Preliminary data demonstrate that meropenem and RPX7009 plasma clearance followed a linear 
PK model in subjects with decreasing renal function (see Appendix 4). This allows the ratio of 
meropenem and RPX7009 to be maintained for dose adjustment in subjects with reduced renal 
function (See the Investigator’s Brochure6). For subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance 
below 20 ml/min, including those on standard hemodialysis, data were recently obtained, and 
2 subgroups were noted. The first included subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance between 
10 ml/min and 19 ml/min (including those requiring hemodialysis). The second included all 
subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance below 10 ml/min (including those on 
hemodialysis).   
For subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance of 10-19 ml/min, the dosing strategy with the 
highest probability of target attainment was 500 mg of Carbavance (500 mg meropenem/500 mg 
RPX7009) every 12 hours. For subjects with estimated creatinine clearance below 10 ml/min, a 
dose of Carbavance (500 mg meropenem/500 mg RPX7009) every 24 hours best accounted for 
intersubject variability and had the greatest probability of target attainment across all subjects with 
exposure levels to both meropenem and RPX7009 that were well under the highest exposure 
achieved in this study, which was well tolerated in the setting of twice weekly hemodialysis. 
Subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance of less than 10 ml/min are required to receive 
dialysis at least twice per week. 
Based on this data, the following are recommended Carbavance dosing regimens for subjects with 
impaired renal function.

Maintenance doses of Carbavance in these subjects should be administered as soon as possible after the dialysis session. For 
example, if a subject is scheduled to receive Carbavance at 18:00 but receives hemodialysis at 13:00, the planned 18:00 
Carbavance dose should be given after the dialysis session is completed (rather than waiting until 18:00). 
q8h = every 8 hours; q12h = every 12 hours; q24h = every 24 hours.

Justification of Carbavance Dose Selection for Registration Clinical 
Program 
The Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) program was initiated with the goal of treating 
KPC-containing Enterobacteriaceae by combining meropenem with RPX7009 and improving the 
coverage against P. aeruginosa and Acinetobacter spp. by optimizing the dose and dose regimen 
of meropenem.  
The PK-pharmacodynamic parameter for efficacy of meropenem is free drug time above the MIC 
and the magnitude of this parameter necessary to achieve maximal efficacy is free drug above the 
MIC for 30% to 50% of the dosage interval. From the PK data obtained in Rempex-501, a 
meropenem dose of 2 g administered by 3 hour infusion every 8 hours will maintain concentrations 
above the 8 mg/L for 30% to 50% of the dosage interval.6 This meropenem dosage regimen has 
been chosen for this study to increase the likelihood of clinical success in difficult to treat 
infections. 
For RPX7009, studies both in vitro and in vivo were used to determine the minimum exposure 
required to potentiate meropenem against strains containing the KPC enzyme (or expressing KPC) 
as well as reduce the development of resistance during therapy. Based on in vitro resistance 
development studies, a minimum concentration of 8 mg/L of RPX7009 (in combination with 
8 mg/L of meropenem) was required to be present for 24 hours to prevent resistance. This became 
the basis for the minimum AUC (8 mg/L * 24 h = 192 mg*h/L) target in animal models and in 
vitro pharmacodynamic models. From the data obtained from Rempex-501, a dose of 2 g 
administered by 3 hour infusion every 8 hours was required to maintain an AUC above 192 
mg*h/L.6 This RPX7009 dosage regimen has been chosen for this study and for the Registration 
Clinical Development Program. 
The selected combination dosage regimen of 2 g meropenem /2 g RPX7009 was further studied 
using in vitro pharmacodynamic and animal models of infection against Enterobacteriaceae and 
P. aeruginosa strains with Carbavance MICs as high as 8 mg/L. In each of these models, the dosage 
regimen proved to not only be efficacious, but prevented the development of resistance in those 
studies. If this data is confirmed in the Registration Clinical Development Program, it may justify 
a Carbavance MIC breakpoint as high as 8 mg/L. 
Overall, based on the PK data from Rempex-501 and the in vitro and in vivo PK and 
pharmacodynamic data generated, the dose of 2 g meropenem in combination with 2 g RPX7009 
infused over 3 hours, every 8 hours, was chosen for development.

Overview of Clinical Safety 
7.7.1 
Rempex 402 and Rempex 501 – Single and Multiple-Ascending Dose 
Studies in Healthy Volunteers 
There have been no safety signals identified in the clinical pharmacology studies conducted with 
RPX7009 alone (Study 402) and in combination with meropenem (Rempex-501). Events related 
to the infusion site (dosing catheter) and/or PK catheter site (blood collections only) were the most 
prevalent events reported and were evenly distributed across subjects treated with placebo, 
RPX7009 alone, meropenem alone, and meropenem/RPX7009, indicating no evidence of local 
adverse events related to RPX7009 dosing, either alone or in combination with meropenem. 
Common adverse events in subjects treated with RPX7009 or meropenem/RPX7009, outside of

infusion site/PK catheter site events, were limited to headache, lethargy, dizziness, nausea, and 
diarrhea. Of these events, headache was the most frequently reported adverse event in both studies, 
being reported in 42% of subjects in RPX7009 multiple-dose groups in Study 402 and 30% in 
meropenem/RPX7009 dose groups in Rempex-501. In comparison, the incidence of headache was 
50% in subjects treated with meropenem alone in Rempex-501, and 25% in subjects treated with 
placebo in Studies 402 and Rempex-501. With the exception of 1 case of headache in a placebo 
subject in Rempex-501, the episodes of headache were mild in severity. 
Lethargy was reported in Study 402 in 1 of 6 subjects (17%) that received RPX7009 1 g q8h and 
4 of 6 subjects (67%) that received RPX7009 2 g q8h, for an overall incidence of 21% in subjects 
treated with RPX7009 in Study 402; however, lethargy was not reported in a single subject that 
received RPX7009 alone or in combination with meropenem q8h in Rempex-501. All episodes of 
lethargy in Study 402 were considered to be mild in severity. 
Dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea were all reported in a single RPX7009 subject (4%) each in 
Study 402 and 4 (9%) subjects that received either RPX7009 250 mg alone (1 of 8 subjects [13%] 
for each event) or a combination of meropenem/RPX7009 (3 of 37 subjects [8%] for each event) 
in Rempex-501. In addition, 1 (6%) and 2 (13%) subjects that received meropenem 1 g reported 
dizziness and diarrhea, respectively. All episodes of dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea were 
considered mild in severity. 
Two subjects in Remepx-501 had asymptomatic elevations in their alanine aminotransferase 
(ALT) levels to > 3 x ULN which were felt to be study drug-related by the Investigator. One 
subject was in the meropenem 1 g cohort and one was in the meropenem/RPX7009 1 g/ 2 g cohort. 
Neither were associated with alkaline phosphatase or bilirubin elevations and both resolved 
spontaneously after study drug treatment was completed. There were no other clinically significant 
trends in clinical laboratory parameters, or clinically significant changes in vital signs, physical 
examinations, or electrocardiogram (ECG) parameters in either study. 
7.7.2 
Rempex 503 – Randomized, Open-label Study of the Pulmonary 
Pharmacokinetics of Meropenem and RPX7009 (Carbavance) in Healthy 
Volunteers 
Study 503 was a randomized, open-label, PK study conducted in healthy adult male and female 
subjects to evaluate the lung penetration of 2 g meropenem/2 g RPX7009 (Carbavance) every 
8 hours administered as a 3-hour infusion. Twenty-five subjects underwent bronchoscopy and 
BAL at 1 of 5 time points (1.5, 3.25, 4, 6, and 8 hours) after the third dose of IV meropenem and 
RPX7009. Bronchial alveolar lavage samples provided ELF and AM concentrations for 
meropenem and RPX7009 for pulmonary PK analysis, and blood samples provided plasma 
concentrations for meropenem and RPX7009 plasma PK analysis.   
Twenty-six subjects were randomized and 25 subjects completed the study. One subject withdrew 
from the study during the second infusion of meropenem/RPX7009 because of chest pressure of 
unknown etiology that was moderate in intensity, lasted 90 minutes, resolved spontaneously when 
the infusion was stopped, and was considered by the investigator to be possibly related to study 
drug administration. 
Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) given as a 2 g/2 g dose was well tolerated in Study 503.

Rempex 504 – Open-label Study of the Safety and PK of a Single Dose of 
Meropenem and RPX7009 (Carbavance) in Volunteers with Varying 
Degrees of Renal Insufficiency or Normal Renal Function, and in 
Patients with Hemodialysis 
All subjects in the normal, mild, moderate, and severe renal function groups received a single 
3-hour IV infusion of Carbavance (1 g meropenem and 1 g RPX7009). Subjects in the end stage 
renal disease (ESRD) group received two infusions, one infusion immediately prior to HD, and 
the other infusion following HD on different days separated by a washout period to ensure that 
study drug administration was at least 6 days apart and no more than 14 days apart. 
Overall, 14 subjects (34.1%) reported a total of 20 treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) 
during the conduct of the study. The most frequently reported TEAEs were diarrhoea, headache, 
abdominal pain, and dermatitis contact. All TEAEs were mild in severity except 1 moderate TEAE 
(abdominal pain) and 2 severe TEAEs (1 prostate cancer metastatic and 1 diarrhoea haemorrhagic). 
A similar proportion of subjects reported at least 1 TEAE in the mild (2 subjects [25.0%]), 
moderate (3 subjects [37.5%]), severe (1 subject [12.5%]), and normal (2 subjects [25.0%]) renal 
function groups. In the ESRD group, a larger proportion of subjects in Period 2 (i.e., when dialysis 
occurred prior to study drug administration) (5 subjects [62.5%]) reported TEAEs as compared to 
the Period 1 group (2 subjects [22.2%]; i.e., when dialysis occurred after study drug 
administration); however, the type and severity of these adverse events in the ESRD group were 
similar to those adverse events observed in the other renal function groups. The higher incidence 
of these mild TEAEs reported during Period 2, as opposed to Period 1, is consistent with the PK 
data indicating that both meropenem and RPX7009 are cleared by hemodialysis. 
Eight of the 20 TEAEs reported in the study were either “possibly” or “probably” related to study 
treatment and were reported by 7 subjects (17.1%). Only 1 TEAE (prostate cancer metastatic) was 
ongoing at study completion. Two (2) SAEs were reported (1 prostate cancer metastatic and 
1 diarrhoea haemorrhagic) in subjects with ESRD. The event of prostate cancer metastatic resulted 
in an interruption to study drug dose administration, and the subject did not receive the second 
dose. No adverse events resulted in death. 
There were no clinically significant trends in 12-lead ECG data, vital signs data, clinical laboratory 
results, or physical examination data. 
Overall Carbavance was well tolerated across all levels of renal insufficiency, including in subjects 
with severe renal insufficiency and those on hemodialysis. Guidelines on dosing of Carbavance in 
subjects with renal impairment is outlined in Section 11.1.2.

Benefits and Risks Conclusions 
No safety signal was identified in any of the four clinical pharmacology studies, which is consistent 
with the preclinical toxicology and safety studies conducted with RPX7009 alone and in 
combination with meropenem. In those preclinical studies, no toxicity was attributed to RPX7009, 
minimal toxicity was attributed to meropenem, and the addition of RPX7009 to meropenem did 
not impact the known toxicity profile of meropenem. The PK data from animals and humans also 
support that the two drugs have similar PK profiles and do not affect the PK profiles of each other. 
Overall, the PK and safety results from the preclinical and clinical studies of the administration of 
RPX7009 alone and in combination with meropenem support the use of this drug combination in 
clinical studies up to the highest doses tested (2 g/2 g) infused over 3 hours, and support the 
inclusion of subjects with severe renal insufficiency in this study, including those on hemodialysis.

OVERALL STUDY DESIGN  
9.1 
Study Design 
This is a Phase 3, multi-center, randomized, open-label study of Carbavance (meropenem/ 
RPX7009) versus BAT in the treatment of subjects with selected serious infections, specifically 
cUTI or AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP, and bacteremia, suspected or known to be caused by CRE. See 
Appendix 2 for a flow diagram of the study. 
For this study, the specific serious infections selected for study will be defined as the following: 
• Complicated UTI (cUTI) is a urinary infection occurring in a subject with a structural or 
functional abnormality of the genitourinary tract associated with clinical signs and symptoms. 
• Acute pyelonephritis (AP) is an acute infection of the renal pelvis or parenchyma associated 
with clinical signs and symptoms. 
• Complicated Intra-abdominal Infection (cIAI) is an infection in the abdominal cavity which 
extends beyond the hollow viscus of origin (bowel, stomach, gallbladder, etc.) into the 
peritoneal space and is associated with either abscess formation or peritonitis associated with 
clinical signs and symptoms.   
• Hospital-acquired bacterial pneumonia (HABP) is an acute infection of the pulmonary 
parenchyma that is associated with clinical signs and symptoms in a subject hospitalized for 
more than 48 hours, or in a subject admitted from a long-term acute care or rehabilitation 
center, or admitted from home 7 days after discharge from a hospital or health care facility. 
• Ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (VABP) is an acute infection of the pulmonary 
parenchyma that is associated with clinical signs and symptoms beginning more than 48 hours 
after a subject receives ventilatory support via an endotracheal (or nasotracheal) tube. 
• Bacteremia is defined by the presence of a bacterial pathogen in a blood culture that is not 
thought to be a contaminant. Subjects enrolled with the indication of bacteremia will not have 
concurrent HABP, VABP, cIAI, or cUTI/AP infections. However, subjects enrolled with 
HABP, VABP, or cUTI/AP may also have concurrent secondary bacteremia.  
Approximately 150 subjects who are expected to need at least 7 days of treatment with IV 
antibiotics will be enrolled in a 2:1 ratio of Carbavance to BAT, respectively.  
The Treatment Arms in the study are as follows: 
• Treatment Arm A: Subjects (n = 100) will receive Carbavance (meropenem 2 g plus RPX7009 
2 g) IV q8h, with each dose infused for 3 hours for up to 14 days. 
NOTE: Dose adjustments will be required for subjects with renal insufficiency (see Section 
11.1.2). 
• Treatment Arm B: Subjects (n = 50) will receive BAT with IV antibiotics chosen from the 
following list, either in combination or alone, for up to 14 days: carbapenem (meropenem, 
ertapenem, or imipenem), tigecycline, colistin, aminoglycosides (amikacin, tobramycin or 
gentamicin), polymyxin B, and ceftazidime-avibactam.

Subjects (or subject’s legal representative) providing informed consent, meeting all study 
eligibility criteria including those criteria for their particular site of infection (e.g., cUTI or AP, 
cIAI, HABP, VABP, and bacteremia), and who have either a known CRE infection or a suspected 
CRE infection (based on colonization with a KPC-producing Enterobacteriaceae organism [which 
may be determined through rapid diagnostic tests, active surveillance cultures, or other 
documentation of CRE colonization] in the past 90 days or prior infection due to a CRE pathogen 
that was treated within the past 90 days) will be randomized to receive Carbavance 
(meropenem/RPX7009) or BAT.  
Any isolated bacterial pathogen will be identified by genus and species. The local laboratory will 
culture each subject sample for pathogen identification, quantification, and susceptibility testing. 
Isolated pathogens collected at the time points listed in Table 1 and cultured at the local laboratory 
will be sent to the central laboratory for confirmation of identification and testing results.  
Day 1 is defined as the first day of study drug administration (Carbavance [meropenem/ RPX7009] 
or BAT). Subsequent study days are defined by the number of calendar days thereafter. The 
planned total duration of IV study drug therapy is up to 14 days. A subject assessed as a clinical 
cure must receive 5 days of study drug therapy, and a subject assessed as a clinical failure must 
receive 3 days of study drug therapy. 
End of Treatment (EOT) will be the day on which the final dose of study drug is administered 
(+1 day). The Test of Cure (TOC) visit and Late Follow-up (LFU) visit will occur at time points 
as defined in the Schedule of Procedures (Table 1). 
9.1.1 
Blinding 
This is an open label study and the Principal Investigator (PI), study coordinators, and pharmacy 
staff will not be blinded. However, the measures outlined below will be implemented in order to 
optimize unbiased assessments of outcomes between treatment arms at the investigational site.  
9.1.1.1 
Subject Treatment Bias 
In order to ensure unbiased assessment of outcomes between treatment arms, subjects will not be 
informed what treatment arm they are assigned. Efforts should be made to keep subjects naïve to 
their treatment throughout the course of the study.  
9.1.1.2 
Blinded Investigator (BI) 
Each site will assign a Blinded Investigator(s) (BI) to evaluate criteria for Clinical Outcomes 
during designated study visits (See Table 1). A BI must be qualified to perform medical evaluations 
and determine medical diagnoses (e.g., physician, physician’s assistant, or nurse practitioner 
[within the US]). A BI should have no other role in the study other than making blinded 
assessments. For consistency, whenever possible the same BI should complete all blinded 
assessments for a study subject. All efforts should be made to keep a BI blinded during the course 
of the study. Data collection by the BI will be used for adjudication purposes only.

9.2 
Independent Monitoring Committees 
9.2.1 
Data Safety Monitoring Board 
An independent Data Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) will review accumulated safety data for 
this study and Rempex-505 when the total combined enrollment in both trials is approximately 
25% (250 subjects) and 50% (500 subjects). They will also review serious adverse events on an 
ongoing basis. They will make recommendations to the Sponsor based on this safety data. Further 
details regarding the data safety monitoring guidelines will be included in the DSMB Charter, 
which is the governing document of the DSMB.  
9.2.2 
Blinded Adjudication Committee  
A blinded adjudication committee will also be formed to independently evaluate clinical outcome 
data in cases where the PI’s and BI’s assessment of outcome differ. In these instances the decision 
made by the blinded adjudication committee will factor into the final clinical outcome data as 
described in Section 15.1.2 of the protocol. Further details regarding the blinded adjudication 
committee will be included in a Blinded Adjudication Committee Charter, which is the governing 
document of the committee.  
9.3 
Rationale for Study Design 
There is a current lack of an optimal treatment for patients who have infections due to a CRE, 
making the use of a blinded comparator impractical due to the limited anti-infective options 
available. In addition, the different regimens, combinations, and toxicities associated with the 
various combinations and lack of a true comparator would make maintaining a blind nearly 
impossible. Therefore, an open-label study design is appropriate for this study. 
To minimize potential bias, efforts will be made to keep the subject unaware of their treatment 
assignment, a BI used to assess outcomes, and an adjudication committee used as described in 
Section 9.2.2.  
Eligible subjects will require at least 7 days of IV therapy, and mortality is generally high for this 
population of subjects with serious infections even with the best anti-microbial therapy available. 
Treatment with a placebo comparator would be unacceptable in this subject population. Therefore, 
using the BAT with any of the following IV antibiotics, alone or in combination, is the appropriate 
option for this study: carbapenems (meropenem, ertapenem, imipenem), tigecycline, colistin, 
aminoglycoside (amikacin, tobramycin, gentamicin), polymyxin B, and (where available) 
ceftazidime-avibactam. 
Randomization will be used to assure that study populations are similar between the test and 
control groups, and to avoid systemic differences between the 2 study groups with respect to 
known or unknown baseline variables that could affect outcome.

16. Any condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would compromise the safety of the 
subject or the quality of the data. 
10.3 
Prior and Concomitant Treatment 
Reasonable efforts will be made to determine all relevant concomitant medications received during 
the study and within 14 days before administration of study drug. Relevant concomitant treatments 
(non-pharmacologic treatments) which include any surgical or diagnostic procedures will also be 
captured in the source documents. 
10.3.1 
Permitted Non-antibacterial Treatment 
Subjects may continue standard non-antibacterial therapy (unless excluded in Section 10.3.4).  
10.3.2 
Permitted Antibacterial Treatments  
Subjects in both treatment arms may receive coverage (e.g., vancomycin or linezolid) for 
gram-positive organisms, as deemed necessary by the Investigator.  
Subjects with cIAI randomized to the BAT treatment arm may receive metronidazole.

Subjects with cUTI or AP who are randomized to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or to BAT 
and are treated with ceftazidime-avibactam should receive Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or 
ceftazidime-avibactam alone, respectively. 
Subjects with cIAI, HABP, VABP, or bacteremia who are randomized to Carbavance 
(meropenem/ RPX7009) or to BAT and are treated with ceftazidime-avibactam should receive 
Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or ceftazidime-avibactam alone, respectively. However, if 
the Investigator believes it is medically necessary, subjects may receive supportive 
aminoglycoside therapy in conjunction with Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) 
or 
ceftazidime-avibactam until culture information is available or for the first 72 hours, whichever is 
the shorter. Aminoglycoside treatment should be discontinued once the subject’s organism is 
shown to be susceptible to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or ceftazidime-avibactam and the 
subject is clinically improving. The use of an aminoglycoside beyond 72 hours in subjects with a 
pathogen(s) susceptible to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or ceftazidime-avibactam will be 
considered a treatment failure. 
Inhaled antibiotics, including aminoglycosides, are not permitted.  
Bladder irrigation with antibiotics or antibiotics administered directly via a urinary catheter are 
not permitted. 
Intra-abdominal irrigation with antibiotics or antibiotics administered through a peritoneal 
dialysis catheter or other intra-abdominal catheter are not permitted.   
10.3.3 
Permitted Anti-infective Adjunctive Therapies and Procedures  
Local care for superficial wounds is permitted (i.e., topical antiseptic therapy, topical antibiotic 
ointment, wet-to-dry dressing change). The use of topical antibiotic therapy with activity against 
gram-negative organisms is discouraged, but will not constitute a failure of the primary antibiotic 
regimen if administered.  
10.3.4 
Concomitant Medication Precautions and Exclusions 
Caution should be used in subjects receiving concurrent valproic acid or probenecid as use of 
carbapenems may lower the serum concentration of these agents.  Physicians are therefore advised 
to consider checking serum levels of these agents frequently in patients receiving concurrent 
Carbavance or carbapenems. A one-time dose of vecuronium, rocuronium, or other paralytic agent 
during intubation is permitted. Due to drug-drug interactions between rocuronium, vecuronium, 
and similar paralytic agents and several BAT agents (including aminoglycosides and polymyxins) 
investigators are cautioned not to choose aminoglycosides or polymyxins as BAT in patients with 
ongoing receipt (i.e. continuous infusion) of rocuronium, vecuronium, or other paralytic agent.   
10.4 
Randomization and Treatment Group Assignment 
Subjects will be randomized to receive either Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or BAT through 
a centralized Interactive Web Response System (IWRS). The time and date of randomization will 
be recorded on the IWRS confirmation, which will be the reference time point for screening 
procedures and diagnostic time windows. The subject will only be randomized after the inclusion 
and exclusion criteria are verified. A manual will be provided that describes the IWRS and includes 
complete user instructions.

To ensure balance among treatment arms, the randomization will be stratified by presenting 
indication (cUTI or AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP, and bacteremia) and by region (North America vs. 
Europe vs. Asia Pacific vs. Rest of World).  
Enrollment will continue until at least 45 subjects (30 Carbavance [meropenem/RPX7009], 
15 BAT) with cUTI or AP are documented to have a CRE organism at baseline and until at least 
30 subjects with cIAI with a documented CRE organism at baseline (20 Carbavance 
[meropenem/RPX7009], 10 BAT) are enrolled.  Once the specified number of subjects are enrolled 
in the cUTI and/or cIAI indications, data from these subjects may be submitted to regulatory 
agencies in support of a marketing application, and the enrollment of additional subjects into the 
specific indication(s) where enrollment was met may be stopped. 
Subjects will be randomized in a 2:1 ratio. A randomization notification will be sent to the 
appropriate site personnel; it will contain subject identification information and the treatment 
assignment for entry onto the eCRF. 
10.5 
Subject Numbering 
Subjects will be assigned a screening number during screening. Once enrolled in the study, subjects 
will be assigned a unique study subject number by IWRS.

11 STUDY DRUGS 
Intravenous study drug will be administered in an open-label design. The following drugs will be 
administered in this study: 
• Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) for IV infusion, administered as a 2 g/2 g dose diluted in 
normal saline to a volume of 250 mL and infused for 3 hours q8h; and 
• Subjects will receive BAT, with IV antibiotics, either alone or in combination, chosen from 
the following: carbapenem (meropenem, ertapenem, or imipenem), tigecycline, colistin, 
aminoglycoside 
(amikacin, 
tobramycin, 
or 
gentamicin), 
polymyxin 
B, 
and 
ceftazidime-avibactam. Details for dose and frequency of administration of BAT (as well as 
warnings, precautions, and contraindications) can be found in the referenced summaries of 
product characteristics for the specific antibacterials selected by the Investigator as 
BAT.4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14 Investigators will be instructed to select only country-approved therapies. 
Infusions of IV study drugs will occur for 7 to 14 days. Subjects whose cultured pathogen is shown 
not to be susceptible to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or the treatment chosen as BAT may 
continue that treatment as long as the subject is clinically improving. If, more than 72 hours 
post-randomization, the subject is not clinically improving, and the cultured pathogen is shown 
not to be susceptible to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) or the treatment chosen as BAT and 
the Investigator elects to change antibacterial therapy, EOT procedures should be performed and 
the subject should complete further visits as planned. 
11.1 
Description of Carbavance (Meropenem/RPX7009) 
Meropenem is a white to pale yellow crystalline powder. The solution varies from colorless to 
yellow depending on the concentration. When reconstituted as instructed, each 1 g vial will deliver 
1 g of meropenem for injection. 
RPX7009 is a sterile, lyophilized white to off-white powder presented in 20 mL single-use vials. 
Each labeled vial contains enough RPX7009 to deliver either 500 mg or 1000 mg RPX7009 when 
reconstituted and prepared according to instructions. Once reconstituted, it is a clear, colorless to 
yellow solution. 
11.1.1 
Administration of Carbavance (Meropenem/RPX7009) 
A pharmacist will be responsible for providing Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) to the study 
personnel for administration. The study drug will be provided ready for IV infusion. Subjects will 
receive Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) 2 g/2 g diluted in normal saline to a volume of 
250 mL infused for 3 hours q8h.  
Each dose of IV study drug will be delivered over approximately 3 hours by programmable 
infusion pump. The time at which the infusion is started and stopped must be recorded. Instances 
where a dose is interrupted by more than 10 minutes should be noted in the source documents, 
including the reason for interruption. The reasons for missed doses should be noted in the source 
documents. Subjects will receive infusions every 8 hours (±2 hours). Infusions that fall outside of 
that q8h dosing (± 2 hours) will be captured as protocol deviations.

Dosing time is considered to be relative to the start of infusion. For additional information on drug 
product dilution, infusion volumes, and dispensing instructions, refer to the Rempex-506 
Pharmacy Manual. 
11.1.2 
Dosing in Subjects with Renal Insufficiency 
As summarized in Section 7.5.3 and Appendix 4, in subjects with impaired renal function, both 
meropenem and RPX7009 continue to follow a linear PK profile, allowing the ratio of meropenem 
and RPX7009 to be maintained in subjects with reduced renal function.  
Table 7 summarizes recommended Carbavance dosing regimens for subjects with renal 
impairment, including subjects receiving hemodialysis.   
Sites will be responsible for testing estimated creatinine clearance in the local laboratory per 
institutional standard operating procedures and are responsible for ensuring dose adjustments are 
made accordingly. Estimated creatinine clearance and dose adjustment data will be captured in 
source documents and in eCRF.

a. Subjects with an estimated creatinine clearance of less than 10 ml/min are required to receive dialysis at least twice per week. 
Maintenance doses of Carbavance in these subjects should be administered as soon as possible after the dialysis session. For 
example, if a subject is scheduled to receive Carbavance at 18:00 but receives hemodialysis at 13:00, the planned 18:00 
Carbavance dose should be given after the dialysis session is completed (rather than waiting until 18:00). 
q8h = every 8 hours; q12h = every 12 hours; q24h = every 24 hours. 
 
11.2 
Description of Best Available Therapy 
Subjects randomized to BAT will be treated with IV antibiotics, either alone or in combination, 
chosen from the following: carbapenem (meropenem, ertapenem, or imipenem), tigecycline, 
colistin, aminoglycosides (amikacin, tobramycin or gentamicin), polymyxin B, and 
ceftazidime-avibactam. The doses and combinations for BAT will be determined by the 
Investigator.  
Ceftazidime-avibactam may also be used as BAT, but may not be given in combination with other 
BAT agents, with the exception of concurrent aminoglycoside therapy for either 72 hours/pending 
susceptibility testing in patients with cIAI, HABP, VABP and bacteremia, similar to Carbavance 
(See Section 10.3.2). Details for dose and frequency of administration of BAT (as well as 
warnings, precautions, and contraindications) can be found in the summaries of product 
characteristics for the specific antibacterials selected by the Investigator for BAT.4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,16 
Investigators will be instructed to select only country-approved therapies.

Investigators will be asked to identify the choice of BAT in advance of randomization to minimize 
potential selection bias. Modification of BAT is permitted based on susceptibility information for 
up to 72 hours post-randomization. Changes in treatment (other than dose adjustment) more than 
72 hours post-randomization will constitute a clinical outcome of failure. End of Treatment 
procedures should be performed and treatment changed as determined by the Investigator. Subjects 
will complete all study visits and procedures according to Table 1. 
11.3 
Carbavance (Meropenem/RPX7009) Labeling and Packaging 
The Sponsor or their designee will package, label, and supply Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) 
according to applicable regulatory requirements. Other medications to be used in the BAT 
treatment arm will be obtained through usual processes as directed by the investigative sites. 
The investigational medicinal product will be labeled in appropriate local language according to 
Annex 13 Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) and country specific requirements, packaged, 
stored released, and distributed according to current GMP. 
11.4

12 STUDY ASSESSMENTS AND PROCEDURES 
12.1 
Screening (Day -1 or Day 1 Pre-randomization) 
The screening visit can occur up to 24 hours prior to first dose of study drug unless otherwise noted 
below. Screening procedures done only for study purposes may only be performed after informed 
consent has been obtained. If a subject is unable to provide informed consent due to their medical 
condition, the subject’s legal representative will be provided with study information in order for 
consent to be obtained. If the screening sample for culture is taken per standard of care before the 
subject signs informed consent (or consent is obtained from the subject’s legal representative), that 
isolate may be used for baseline and sent to the central laboratory as long as the sample was 
collected within 72 hours (96 hours for cIAI) of the first dose of study drug. Screening assessments 
will include the following: 
• Review of all inclusion and exclusion criteria (See Section 10.1 and Section 10.2, 
respectively);

12.4 
Study Interventions/Procedures 
12.4.1 
Informed Consent 
Informed consent should be obtained by the Investigator from the subject prior to study 
participation in accordance with Good Clinical Practice (GCP) and applicable regulatory 
requirements. When a subject is not capable of giving informed consent, the permission of a legally 
authorized representative should be obtained in accordance with applicable law.  
All subjects will be informed of the nature and purpose of this study. An informed consent 
document approved by a regional Independent Ethics Committee (IEC)/Institutional Review 
Board (IRB) must be signed and dated prior to any study-related procedures being performed at 
screening. The original signed informed consent form for each participating subject will be filed 
with records kept by the Investigator(s) and will be documented in the clinical or research record. 
A copy of the signed/dated informed consent document must be provided to the subject and/or the 
subject’s legal representative. The rights and welfare of the subjects will be protected by 
emphasizing to them (or their legal representative) that the quality of their care will not be 
adversely affected if they decline to participate in or withdraw from the study. Subjects may 
withdraw from the study at any time.  
For non-English speaking subjects, a translated version of the informed consent document will be 
available and the consent process will take place in that subject’s primary language.  
12.4.2 
Medical History 
Relevant medical history, surgical history, and allergies will be collected at screening. 
12.4.3 
Prior and Concomitant Medications 
All relevant medications used in the 14 days prior to first dose of study drug and any medications 
used for standard subject care during the study are to be recorded. Concomitant treatments 
(non-pharmacological treatments) which include any surgical or diagnostic procedures will be 
captured in the source documents. See Section 10.3.4 for precautions and exclusions of 
concomitant medications during the study.

12.4.4 
Physical Examination 
A complete physical examination must include source documentation of skin, head and neck, 
heart, lung, abdomen, extremities, back/flank/costo-vertebral angle tenderness, and neuromuscular 
assessments. Height and weight will be included at screening. Demographic data including name, 
sex, age, race, weight, and alcohol use will be recorded at screening. A limited, symptom-based, 
physical examination will be performed at other indicated visits. If a subject does not display 
symptoms, no limited physical examination needs to be performed.  
Clinically significant physical examination findings noted during a preceding physical 
examination (complete or limited) should be followed until resolution. 
Physical examinations may be performed at various unscheduled time points if deemed necessary 
by the Investigator. 
All physical examinations will be performed by site personnel who are experienced and routinely 
conduct physical examinations (e.g., physician, physician’s assistant, or nurse practitioner [within 
the US]). 
12.4.5 
Vital Signs 
Vital signs, including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, and temperature, will be measured 
at the indicated visits. Vital signs at approximately the same time as the assessment of signs and 
symptoms and recorded in the source and eCRF.  
12.4.6 
Assessment of Signs and Symptoms 
Each sign/symptom for each respective presenting indication (Table 8) will be assigned a 
classification of new onset, continuing (increased, decreased, no change), or resolved (returned to 
pre-infection state). Responses should be collected by the PI or qualified Sub-investigator and 
recorded in the source documents on each study day. When possible the same investigator should 
collect the information at approximately the same time each day. Indication specific Signs and 
Symptoms are only collected for a subject’s primary site of infection (i.e., if a subject has a cUTI 
and bacteremia, only cUTI information is collected).

standards and recorded in the electronic data capture (EDC) database according to the EDC 
guidelines.  
12.4.8 
Chest X-Ray/Radiology 
Chest x-rays, CT scans or MRIs will be performed in subjects with HABP or VABP at designated 
time points as specified by the Schedule of Procedures (Table 1) to evaluate for the presence of 
infiltrates. Imaging should be conducted per institutional guidelines and results recorded in the 
source documents and the eCRF. 
12.4.9 
Clinical Laboratory Assessments 
Blood samples for serum chemistry and hematology analyses will be collected as specified by the 
Schedule of Procedures (Table 1).  
Eligibility criteria related to laboratory assessments (i.e., screening laboratory assessments) will 
be processed/analyzed by a local laboratory within 48 hours of randomization and must include, 
at a minimum, AST, ALT, total bilirubin, creatinine, white blood cell (WBC) count with 
differentials, platelet count, and leukocyte esterase (LCE) in urine. 
All other study-related analyses will be performed by the central laboratory. 
The chemistry, hematology, and urinalysis parameters assessed in this study include the following: 
• Chemistry: creatinine, estimated creatinine clearance, blood urea nitrogen, AST, ALT, 
alkaline phosphatase, total bilirubin, uric acid, lipase, amylase, albumin, total protein, 
glucose, sodium, potassium, chloride, carbon dioxide, calcium, and phosphorus. 
• Hematology: complete blood count (red blood cell count and white blood cell (WBC) count 
with differentials (manual differential at baseline), platelet count, hemoglobin, and 
hematocrit). 
• Urinalysis: dipstick analysis of protein, glucose, ketones, bilirubin, blood, nitrites, LCE, and 
urobilinogen; microscopic evaluation for red blood cells, WBCs, bacteria, and casts; specific 
gravity; and pH. 
For women of childbearing potential, a serum and urine pregnancy test will be performed before 
the first dose of study drug, however, only urine results are required to initiate treatment. A urine 
and serum pregnancy test will be performed at EOT or early termination. 
12.4.10 
Pharmacokinetic Sampling 
Pharmacokinetic sampling will be completed in subjects randomized to Carbavance 
(meropenem/RPX7009) only. Samples will be collected for PK analysis on Day 1 within

30 minutes and 2 to 3 hours after the end of the first infusion. On Day 3 and Day 5, PK samples 
will be collected within 30 minutes after the end of one of that day’s infusions. Samples will be 
taken as close to the 30-minute mark as possible and within the 1-hour window 2 to 3 hours after 
the end of the selected infusion. 
If subject is on a ventilator at the time of PK sampling, ventilator settings should be noted at the 
time of the blood draw. 
For specific collection and storage procedures, please refer to the Study Reference Manual. 
12.4.11 
Hospitalization Assessments 
Hospital admissions, transfers, and discharges will be captured in the source documents for each 
enrolled subject over the course of the study. Date and time will be captured for the original 
admission as well as each time a subject is transferred from an ICU to a non-ICU. The date and 
time of hospital discharge will be captured as well as where each subject was discharged to (e.g., 
home, another hospital, long term adult care facility, etc.).  
12.4.12 
Mechanical Ventilator Assessments 
Subjects whose primary indication for enrollment into the study is HABP or VABP, and require 
mechanical ventilation support, will be managed by the study investigators per institutional 
guidelines. Data regarding mechanical ventilation will be captured in the source documents and 
the eCRFs. 
12.4.13 
Infection Source Control  
It is expected that prior to enrollment adequate source control (in the opinion of the PI) should be 
achieved for each subject’s index infection (for example, for a subject enrolled due to cIAI, the 
intra-abdominal source should be properly drained/debrided/removed; for a subject with cUTI, any 
indwelling catheter should be removed or replaced). Any secondary drainage that occurs within 4 
days of the initial procedure will be counted as a second part of the initial planned procedure. It is 
further expected that such control should be maintained throughout the subject’s participation in 
the study to the extent possible (i.e. if the subject has a recurrent intra-abdominal abscess, this 
should be drained in accordance with site-specific practices).  A qualified independent reviewer 
will access the adequacy of source control in subjects whose outcome is clinical failure, death or 
indeterminate. Additional medical records will be collected and submitted to the reviewer as 
appropriate. 
12.4.14 
Microbiology Assessments 
Accurate microbiologic results are critical to successfully meet the study objectives. All specimens 
will be sent to the local laboratory for culture and susceptibility testing per institutional standards. 
For all carbapenem-resistant gram-negative organisms, the MIC to carbapenems will be captured 
in the eCRF. Susceptibility to Carbavance as determined by Kirby-Bauer disk methodology will 
be captured at baseline. If the resistance mechanism for each carbapenem-resistant organism 
cultured during the study is known, it should be captured in source documents.

Any isolated bacteria deemed to be contributory to the infectious process will be designated a 
pathogen by the PI and identified by genus and species. The local laboratory will culture each 
sample for organism identification, quantification (when applicable), and susceptibility testing per 
institutional standards. CRE cultures at baseline and all post-baseline isolates cultured at the local 
laboratory and designated as pathogens by the PI will be sent to the central laboratory (Medpace 
Reference Laboratory [MRL]) for confirmation of identification and susceptibility testing results. 
All subjects must have a specimen sample from the site of infection (i.e., blood, urine, 
intra-abdominal fluid/tissue, or respiratory secretion) and two sets of blood samples from two 
separate venipuncture sites collected immediately prior to the first dose of study drug (or, for cIAI, 
96 hours before or 24 hours after the first dose of study drug), and submitted to the local 
microbiology laboratory for culture and susceptibility testing. When it is not possible to collect 
specimens for culture immediately prior to the first dose of study drug, cultures that have been 
obtained no more than 72 hours prior to (or for cIAI, 96 hours before or 24 hours after) the first 
dose of study drug are acceptable. The results of this culture will determine whether the subject 
meets the criteria for the Microbiological CRE Modified Intent-to-Treat (mCRE-MITT) 
Population or the Microbiological Modified Intent-to-Treat (m-MITT) Population. 
Kirby-Bauer disks for Carbavance (meropenem\RPX7009) susceptibility testing will be provided 
by the Sponsor for baseline testing. Susceptibility testing for BAT and other antimicrobials will be 
done per each institution’s standard procedures. In instances where susceptibility testing indicates 
resistance to the study drug but the subject is clinically improving, the subject should remain on 
study drug at the Investigator’s discretion. 
If the screening sample for culture is taken per standard of care before the subject (or a subject’s 
legal representative) signs informed consent, that isolate may be used for baseline and sent to the 
central laboratory once consent is obtained as long as the sample was collected within 72 hours of 
(or for cIAI, 96 hours before or 24 hours after) the first dose of study drug. 
12.4.14.1 
Urine Specimens 
For subjects with cUTI or AP, urine samples will be collected by clean catch midstream, from a 
newly-inserted Foley catheter (no bag specimens allowed), bladder needle aspiration, or ureter 
aspiration. 
CRE isolates at baseline, and all post-baseline isolates cultured at the local laboratory and 
designated as pathogens by the PI will be sent to the central laboratory for confirmation of 
identification and susceptibility testing results.  
The baseline urine cultures must grow at least one defined bacterial pathogen at concentration of 
105 CFU/mL. Up to 2 isolated pathogens will be allowed per baseline urine culture provided they 
are at concentrations of 105 CFU/mL of urine. 
The baseline urine samples submitted for culture must have a microscopic evaluation (e.g., gram 
stain) and a dipstick analysis performed by the local microbiology laboratory.  
For all post-baseline urine cultures, only pathogens at concentrations of 103 CFU/mL of urine 
will be sent to the central laboratory.  Up to 2 isolated pathogens will be allowed per post-baseline 
urine culture provided they are at concentrations of 103 CFU/mL.

For both baseline and post-baseline cultures - if a subject grows 3 or more bacterial organisms in 
the urine, the urine culture will be considered contaminated. An organism will not be considered 
a contaminant if the organism also grows in a concurrently obtained blood culture.  Isolates from 
contaminated samples should not be sent to the central lab. 
12.4.14.2 
 Intra-abdominal Specimens 
For subjects with cIAI, acceptable specimens should include at least one intra-abdominal culture 
obtained during the time of surgical (or percutaneous) intervention. The specimen must be 
collected within approximately 96 hours before or 24 hours after of the first dose of study drug 
(preferably prior to study drug administration). Baseline specimens should be sent for gram stain, 
pathogen identification, and susceptibility testing at the local laboratory. Isolates from the baseline 
specimen will also be sent to the central laboratory for confirmatory testing. 
Post-baseline specimens should be collected as clinically indicated and sent to the local laboratory 
for testing. Isolates from all post-baseline specimens should be sent to the central laboratory for 
confirmatory testing.  
To be considered adequate, a specimen should consist of at least 1mL of fluid or tissue 
representative of the material associated with the clinical infection.  
Gram stains will be conducted per institutional standards and gram stain data should be captured 
in source documents. If any intra-abdominal culture is performed (including cultures taken on 
swab), pathogens exhibiting significant growth on cultures identified by the site laboratory’s 
routine procedures should be sent to the central lab, even if from a specimen that does not meet 
the aforementioned adequacy criteria.   
12.4.14.3 
Respiratory Tract Specimens 
For subjects with HABP or VABP, acceptable specimens should include at least one positive 
pretreatment sample obtained by Protected Specimen Brush (PSB) with bronchial alveolar lavage 
(BAL) or mini-BAL, by non-bronchoscopic-BAL (NBBAL), or by Protected Endotracheal 
Catheter obtained prior to randomization and treatment. Non-ventilated subjects may have 
specimens obtained via deep expectoration or expectorated/induced sputum.  
All specimens should be sent for gram stain, quantitative culture, pathogen identification and 
susceptibility testing.  
To be adequate, respiratory samples from expectorated or induced sputum should show 
<10 squamous epithelial cells and >25 polymorphonuclear neutrophils per 100x field. Colony 
counts ≥103 CFU/mL are considered the threshold for identifying pathologic bacteria from PSB 
and the CombiCath® NBBAL, ≥104 CFU/mL for bronchoscopic BAL or the BALCath NBBAL, 
and ≥106 CFU/mL for endotracheal aspirate specimens.  
Gram stains will be conducted per institutional standards and gram stain data should be captured 
in source documents. Colony counts are not expected to be performed on expectorated or induced 
sputum. If the sputum is cultured all pathogens exhibiting significant growth identified by the site

laboratory’s routine procedures should be sent to the central lab, even if from a specimen that does 
not meet the specimen adequacy criteria described above.  
12.4.14.4 
Blood and Other Tissue Specimens 
Two sets of samples from 2 separate venipuncture sites are required for blood cultures in all study 
participants. If a blood culture is positive at baseline, daily blood cultures will be collected until 
the first negative blood culture (culture reading at 24 hours or more).  
Additional blood cultures, including blood cultures taken during fever spikes (oral or tympanic 
temperature 38°C [100.4°F] or rectal/core temperature 38.3°C [100.9°F]) may also will be 
collected at the Investigator’s discretion.  
Isolated pathogens (e.g., considered not to be a contaminant by the PI) from each individual 
positive blood culture will be sent to the central lab. 
If a tissue sample (e.g., kidney biopsy) is collected to determine target pathogen, it should be 
obtained 72 hours prior to first dose of study drug. The isolated pathogen should be shipped to the 
central laboratory for confirmation and susceptibility testing. In the event that pre-randomization 
urine and blood cultures are negative and the subject has a positive tissue culture, the isolated 
pathogen may qualify as a defined baseline CRE pathogen.

13 SUBJECT AND STUDY DISCONTINUATION  
A clear distinction will be made between subjects who withdraw from study drug dosing and those 
who withdraw from the study. All subjects who withdraw from study drug dosing should be 
encouraged to follow all study procedures to the LFU visit for safety assessment, even if they 
withdraw from dosing in absence of a clinical outcome of failure.  
The clinical report will include the reason(s) for subject withdrawal from either study drug or the 
study, as well as details relevant to the withdrawal. If a subject is withdrawn from the study prior 
to study completion, the subject will undergo early termination procedures (See Section 12.3.3). 
Any subject withdrawn due to an adverse event (whether serious or non-serious) or clinically 
significant abnormal laboratory test value will be evaluated by the Investigator or a monitoring 
physician and will be treated and/or followed up until the symptoms or values return to normal or 
acceptable levels, as judged by the Investigator.  
Subjects withdrawn for reasons other than drug-related adverse events may be replaced per 
Investigator and Sponsor discretion.  
13.1 
Screening Failures 
Subjects who sign and date the informed consent form but who fail to meet the inclusion and 
exclusion criteria will be defined as screen failures. A screening log, which documents the 
subject’s initials, screening number, and reason(s) for screen failure, is to be maintained by the 
Investigator for all screen failures. A copy of the log should be retained in the Investigator’s study 
files. Screen Failures will be captured in IWRS. 
13.2 
Withdrawal from Study Drug  
Study drug administration may be discontinued for any of the following reasons at the discretion 
of the Investigator or the Sponsor’s Medical Monitor: 
• Occurrence of any medical condition or circumstance that exposes the subject to substantial 
risk and/or does not allow the subject to adhere to the requirements of the protocol; 
• Any serious adverse event (SAE), clinically significant adverse event, severe laboratory 
abnormality, intercurrent illness, or other medical condition that indicates to the Investigator 
that continued participation is not in the best interest of the subject; 
• Subject's decision to withdraw; 
• Requirement of prohibited concomitant medication; or 
• Lack of clinical improvement.  
Any subject who prematurely discontinues study drug should complete the study through the LFU 
visit. The EOT procedures will be performed on the day study drug is discontinued (+1 day).

14 SAFETY ASSESSMENTS 
Safety assessments will include adverse events, clinical laboratory evaluations, vital signs, 
physical examinations, and ECGs. Relevant changes in physical examinations, vital signs, and 
safety laboratory tests that are identified as occurring after receiving the first dose of study drug, 
regardless of whether the change is in an examination finding, test result, or sign or symptom 
reported by a subject, and regardless of relationship to study drug, will be reported.  
14.1 
Adverse Events 
An adverse event is defined as any untoward medical occurrence deemed clinically relevant by the 
Investigator in a clinical investigation subject administered a pharmaceutical product and which 
does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. An adverse event can therefore 
be any unfavorable and/or unintended sign (including an abnormal laboratory finding), symptom, 
or disease temporally associated with the use of an investigational medicinal product, whether or 
not related to the investigational medicinal product. All adverse events, including observed or 
volunteered problems, complaints, or symptoms, are to be recorded and entered on the appropriate 
eCRF. Adverse events will be coded using the most updated version of the Medical Dictionary for 
Regulatory Activities available (version 15.0 or higher). 
Adverse events, which include clinically significant laboratory test variables, will be monitored 
and documented from the time of informed consent until study participation is complete. 
Treatment-emergent adverse events, which include clinically significant laboratory test variables, 
will be monitored and documented from the first dose of study drug until study participation is 
complete. Subjects should be instructed to report any adverse event that they experience to the 
Investigator. Investigators should make assessments for adverse events and record the event on the 
appropriate adverse event eCRF. 
Wherever possible, a specific disease or syndrome rather than individual associated signs and 
symptoms should be identified by the Investigator and recorded on the eCRF. However, if an 
observed or reported sign or symptom is not considered a component of a specific disease or 
syndrome by the Investigator, it should be recorded as a separate adverse event on the eCRF. 
Additionally, the condition that led to a medical or surgical procedure (e.g., surgery, endoscopy, 
tooth extraction, transfusion) should be recorded as an adverse event, not the procedure. The 
protocol specific Assessment of Signs and Symptoms (see Section 12.4.6) associated with the 
index infection (cUTI, AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP or bacteremia) and protocol defined Treatment 
Failure should not be documented as adverse events.  
Any medical condition already present at screening or baseline should not be reported as an 
adverse event, unless the medical condition or signs or symptoms present at baseline worsen in 
severity or seriousness at any time during the study. In this case, it may be reported as an adverse 
event at the discretion of the Investigator. 
Clinically significant abnormal laboratory or other examination (e.g., ECG) findings detected 
during the study or that are present at baseline and significantly worsen during the study should be 
reported as adverse events. At the discretion of the Investigator, all National Cancer Institute 
Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (NCI-CTCAE) Grade 3 laboratory values

should be reported as adverse events. If a clinically significant abnormal laboratory value or 
assessment is clearly related to a medically defined diagnosis or syndrome, the diagnosis or 
syndrome will be recorded on the Adverse Event eCRF, not the individual laboratory values. The 
Investigator will exercise his or her medical judgment in deciding whether an abnormal laboratory 
finding or other abnormal assessment is clinically significant. Significant abnormal laboratory 
values occurring during the clinical study will be followed until repeat tests return to normal, 
stabilize, or are no longer clinically significant. Any abnormal test that is determined to be an error 
does not require being reported as an adverse event. 
14.2 
Adverse Drug Reaction 
All noxious and unintended responses to a medicinal product related to any dose should be 
considered an adverse drug reaction. “Responses” to a medicinal product means that a causal 
relationship between a medicinal product and an adverse event is at least a reasonable possibility.  
14.3 
Unexpected Adverse Drug Reaction 
An unexpected adverse drug reaction is defined as an adverse reaction, the nature or severity of 
which is not consistent with the applicable product information. For Carbavance 
(meropenem/RPX7009), the reference safety information is included in the Investigator’s 
Brochure.  
Product information for BAT includes referenced summaries of product characteristics (SmPCs) 
for meropenem, ertapenem, imipenem, tigecycline, colistin, amikacin, tobramycin, gentamicin, 
polymyxin B, and ceftazidime-avibactam. 4,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,16  
The reference safety information will be reviewed yearly and the periodicity of the review will be 
harmonized with the reporting period of the Development Safety Update Report.  
14.4 
Assessment and Reporting of Adverse Events by the Investigator 
The Investigator will review each event and assess its relationship to study drug treatment (not 
related, unlikely, possible, or probable). Each sign or symptom reported will be graded on the 
NCI-CTCAE V4.0 toxicity grading 5-point severity scale (Grade 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5), details of which 
can be found in Appendix 3. The date and time of onset, duration, and outcome 
(Recovered/Resolved, Recovering/Resolving, Resolved with Sequelae, Not recovered/Resolved, 
Fatal, or Unknown/Lost to follow-up) of each event will be noted.  
Adverse events, including those not listed on the NCI-CTCAE grading system, will be graded on 
the 5-point scale (mild, moderate, severe, life-threatening, death) and reported in detail as indicated 
on the eCRF according to the following definitions for rating severity: 
• Grade 1 - Mild: asymptomatic or mild symptoms OR clinical or diagnostic observations only 
OR intervention not indicated. 
• Grade 2 - Moderate: minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated OR limiting 
age-appropriate instrumental activities of daily living (e.g., preparing meals, 
shopping for groceries or clothes, using the telephone, managing money, etc.).

Page 86 of 116 
• Grade 3 - Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening: hospitalization 
or prolongation of hospitalization indicated OR disabling OR limiting self-care 
activities of daily living (e.g., bathing, dressing and undressing, feeding self, using 
the toilet, taking medications, not being bedridden). 
Note: An experience may be severe but may not be serious (e.g., severe headache). 
• Grade 4 - Life-threatening consequences: urgent intervention indicated. 
• Grade 5 - Death related to adverse event. 
Causality Assessment 
The relationship of each adverse event will be assessed using the following definitions: 
Not related 
• Event occurring before dosing. 
• Event or intercurrent illness due wholly to factors other than drug 
treatment. 
Unlikely 
• Poor temporal relationship with drug treatment. 
• Event easily explained by subject’s clinical state or other factors. 
Possible 
• Reasonable temporal relationship with drug treatment. 
• Event could be explained by subject’s clinical state or other 
factors.  
Probable 
• Reasonable temporal relationship with drug treatment. 
• Likely to be known reaction to agent or chemical group, or 
predicted by known pharmacology. 
• Event cannot easily be explained by subject’s clinical state or 
other factors. 
The following factors should also be considered: 
• The temporal sequence from study drug administration– 
The event should occur after the study drug is given. The length of time from study drug 
exposure to event should be evaluated in the clinical context of the event. 
• Underlying, concomitant, intercurrent diseases– 
Each report should be evaluated in the context of the natural history and course of the disease 
being treated and any other disease the subject may have. 
• Concomitant drug– 
The other drugs the subject is taking or the treatment the subject receives should be examined 
to determine whether any of them might be recognized to cause the event in question. 
• Known response pattern for this class of study drug– 
Clinical and/or preclinical data may indicate whether a particular response is likely to be a 
class effect. 
• Exposure to physical and/or mental stresses– 
The exposure to stress might induce adverse changes in the recipient and provide a logical and 
better explanation for the event.

• The pharmacology and PK of the study drug– 
The known pharmacologic properties (absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion) of 
the study drug should be considered. 
14.5 
Serious Adverse Events 
An adverse event or adverse reaction is considered serious if, in the view of either the Investigator 
or Sponsor, it results in any of the following outcomes: 
• Death; 
• A life-threatening adverse event; 
• NOTE: An adverse event or adverse reaction is considered “life-threatening” if, in view of 
either the Investigator or Sponsor, its occurrence places the subject at immediate risk of 
death. It does not include an event that, had it occurred in a more severe form, might have 
caused death. 
• Requires hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalizations; 
NOTE: Any hospital admission with at least 1 overnight stay will be considered an inpatient 
hospitalization. An emergency room visit without hospital admission will not be recorded as 
an SAE under this criterion, nor will hospitalization for a procedure scheduled or planned 
before signing of informed consent. However, unexpected complications and/or prolongation 
of hospitalization that occur during elective surgery should be recorded as adverse events and 
assessed for seriousness. As the subjects in this study will already be hospitalized, it is likely 
that unexpected complications and/or prolongation of hospitalization will be the only 
applicable aspect of this criterion. 
• Admission to the hospital for social or situational reasons (i.e., no place to stay, live too far 
away to come for hospital visits) will NOT be considered inpatient hospitalizations;  
• A persistent or significant disability/incapacity or substantial disruption of the ability to 
conduct normal life functions; 
• A congenital anomaly/birth defect; or 
• An important medical event. 
NOTE: Important medical events that may not result in death, be life-threatening, or require 
hospitalization may be considered an SAE when, based upon appropriate medical judgment, they 
may jeopardize the subject and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent one of the 
outcomes listed above. Examples of such medical events include allergic bronchospasm requiring 
intensive treatment in an emergency room or at home, blood dyscrasias or convulsions that do not 
result in inpatient hospitalizations, or the development of drug dependency. 
14.6 
Serious Adverse Event Reporting – Procedures for Investigators 
Initial Reports 
All SAEs occurring from the time of informed consent until 30 days following the last 
administration of study drug must be reported to Medpace Clinical Safety within 24 hours of the 
knowledge of the occurrence (this refers to any adverse event that meets any of the aforementioned 
serious criteria). All SAEs that the Investigator considers related to study drug occurring after the 
30-day follow-up period must be reported to the Sponsor.

To report the SAE, the SAE form should be completed electronically in the EDC system for the 
study. When the form is completed, Medpace Clinical Safety personnel will be notified 
electronically and will retrieve the form. If the event meets serious criteria and it is not possible to 
access the EDC system, send an email to the Medpace Clinical Safety Department (email listed 
below) or call the Medpace SAE hotline (phone number listed below), and fax the completed paper 
SAE form to Medpace (fax number listed below) within 24 hours of awareness. When the EDC 
system becomes available, the SAE information must be entered within 24 hours of the system 
becoming available.

Follow-up Reports 
The Investigator must continue to follow the subject until the SAE has subsided or until the 
condition becomes chronic in nature, stabilizes (in the case of persistent impairment), or the subject 
dies. 
Within 24 hours of receipt of follow-up information, the Investigator must update the SAE form 
electronically in the EDC system for the study and submit any supporting documentation 
(e.g., subject discharge summary or autopsy reports) to Medpace Clinical Safety via fax or e-mail. 
If it is not possible to access the EDC system, refer to the procedures outlined above for initial 
reporting of SAEs.  
14.7 
Pregnancy Reporting 
If the subject or partner of a subject participating in the study becomes pregnant during the study 
or within 30 days of discontinuing study drug, the Investigator should report the pregnancy to 
Medpace Clinical Safety within 24 hours of becoming aware of the pregnancy. Medpace Clinical 
Safety will then provide the Exposure In Utero form to the Investigator for completion.  
A subject becoming pregnant while on study drug will immediately be withdrawn from the study 
and early termination study procedures will be performed. 
The subject or partner should be followed by the Investigator until completion of the pregnancy. 
If the pregnancy ends for any reason before the anticipated date, the Investigator should notify 
Medpace Clinical Safety. At the completion of the pregnancy, the Investigator will document the 
outcome of the pregnancy. If the outcome of the pregnancy meets the criteria for immediate 
classification as an SAE (i.e., postpartum complication, spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, neonatal 
death, or congenital anomaly), the Investigator should follow the procedures for reporting an SAE.

15 EFFICACY EVALUATION 
15.1 
Efficacy Assessments 
Efficacy Assessments for cUTI or AP 
Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint for cUTI or AP is defined differently by the EMA and FDA. The primary 
endpoint for the EMA is proportion of subjects in the mCRE-MITT Population that 
demonstrate microbiological eradication (See Table 9). The primary endpoint for the FDA is 
the proportion of subjects in the mCRE-MITT Population who demonstrate a response of 
overall success at the TOC visit (See Table 9).  
To meet the primary endpoint for EMA and FDA, a subject’s gram-negative antimicrobial 
therapy to treat the baseline infection cannot be altered (other than dose adjustment or 
modification of BAT based on susceptibility of baseline pathogen within the first 72 hours 
after first dose of study drug) after randomization due to concerns of microbiological failure, 
clinical failure, or tolerability AND must meet the criteria in Table 9.

Efficacy Assessments for cIAI  
Primary Endpoint  
The primary endpoint for cIAI for both the EMA and the FDA is the proportion of patients 
with a clinical outcome of cure in the mCRE-MITT population at TOC visit, approximately 
Day 28.   
To meet the primary endpoint, a subjects’ gram-negative antimicrobial therapy to treat the 
baseline infection cannot be altered (other than dose adjustment or modification of BAT based 
on susceptibility of baseline pathogen within the first 72 hours after first dose of study drug) 
after randomization due to concerns of microbiologic failure, clinical failure, or tolerability. In 
addition, subjects cannot require any further unplanned surgical or radiologic intervention after 
randomization until TOC due to concerns of microbiologic failure or clinical failure.   
Secondary Endpoints  
• The all-cause mortality rate in the mCRE-MITT and m-MITT Populations at Day 28; 
• Proportion of subjects in the m-MITT and ME Populations who demonstrate a response of 
overall success at the TOC visit;

with a clinical outcome of cure at Day 3, EOT, TOC, and LFU;  
• Proportion of subjects in the mCRE-MITT, m-MITT, CE, CRE-ME, and ME Populations 
with a clinical outcome of cure at TOC, where the use of an aminoglycoside beyond 
72 hours in subjects with a pathogen susceptible to Carbavance (meropenem/RPX7009) is 
assigned to failure;  
• Relapse/recurrence rates of baseline cIAI at the LFU visit; and  
• Per-pathogen outcome in the mCRE-MITT, m-MITT, CRE-ME, and ME Populations at 
Day 3, EOT, TOC, and LFU. 
Efficacy Assessments for HABP and VABP 
Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint for HABP and VABP is the all-cause mortality rate in the mCRE-MITT 
Population at Day 28 for all subjects with HABP and VABP, combined with all subjects with 
bacteremia (not related to cUTI/AP or HABP/VABP). 
Secondary Endpoints 
• The all-cause mortality rate in the mCRE-MITT and m-MITT Populations at Day 28; 
• The proportion of subjects in the mCRE-MITT Population who demonstrate a clinical 
outcome of cure at the TOC visit. 
A clinical outcome of cure is defined as:

assigned to failure; 
• Per-pathogen outcome in the mCRE-MITT, m-MITT, CRE-ME, and ME Populations at 
Day 3, EOT, TOC, and LFU; 
• Relapse/recurrence rates of baseline bacterial pneumonia at the LFU visit; 
• Total ventilator days measured from time of randomization; 
• Change in the partial pressure arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2:FiO2) 
ratio from baseline to Day 3, Day 7, and EOT; and 
• Time (days) to extubation in subjects who are on the ventilator at baseline (i.e., Day 1). 
Efficacy Assessments for Bacteremia 
Primary Endpoint 
The primary endpoint for bacteremia is the all-cause mortality rate in the mCRE-MITT 
Population at Day 28 for all subjects with HABP and VABP, combined with all subjects with 
bacteremia (not related to cUTI/AP or HABP/VABP). 
Secondary Endpoints 
• The all-cause mortality rate in the mCRE-MITT and m-MITT Populations at Day 28;  
• The proportion of subjects in the mCRE-MITT Population who demonstrate a response of 
overall success at the TOC visit. 
For subjects whose gram-negative antimicrobial therapy to treat the baseline infection is 
not altered (other than dose adjustment or modification of BAT based on susceptibility of 
baseline pathogen within the first 72 hours after first dose of study drug) after 
randomization due to concerns of microbiological failure, clinical failure, or tolerability, a 
response of success is defined by clearance of bacteremia (microbiological eradication) 
and a clinical assessment of cure.  
Clearance of bacteremia (microbiological eradication) is defined as the demonstration that 
bacterial pathogen(s) found at baseline is absent with repeat culture. 
Clinical cure is defined as complete resolution or significant improvement of the baseline 
signs and symptoms of bacteremia, such that no further surgical intervention or 
antimicrobial therapy is warranted;

15.1.2 
Clinical Outcome 
Clinical outcome will be used to determine a response of success for subjects with cIAI, HABP, 
or VABP. Clinical outcome, as a component of an assessment of overall response, will also be 
used to determine a response of success for subjects with cUTI or AP (FDA only), or bacteremia. 
The Investigator will be provided with a choice of clinical outcomes based on definitions to make 
a clinical assessment of the subject at the Day 3, Day 7, EOT, TOC, and LFU visits. The 
Investigator will assign a clinical outcome as defined in Table 10. 
If all symptoms present at baseline are classified as mostly resolved or continuing (decreased), 
with no new onset symptoms, such that no further surgical intervention or antimicrobial therapy is 
warranted, the subject will have a clinical outcome of cure at Day 7, EOT, TOC, and LFU visits. 
Subjects with lessening, incomplete resolution, or no worsening of these symptoms (i.e., 
continuing [decreased or no change] and resolved), who still warrant antimicrobial therapy, will

have a clinical outcome of improvement at Day 3 and Day 7. Subjects with worsening of symptoms 
or the development of new onset symptoms sufficient to require unplanned surgical 
procedures/percutaneous drainage or initiation of non-study antimicrobials, in addition to the 
criteria in Table 10 will have a clinical outcome of failure. In addition to the above components of 
clinical outcome, subjects with HABP or VABP will be monitored for oxygen requirements and 
ventilator settings per site standard of care to evaluate clinical outcome.  
Table 10. 
Criteria for Clinical Outcome 
Category 
Criteria 
Cure 
Complete resolution or significant improvement of the baseline signs and symptoms, 
such that no further surgical intervention or antimicrobial therapy is warranted. This 
outcome category will only be used at Day 7, EOT, TOC, and LFU visits. 
Improvement 
Lessening, incomplete resolution, or no worsening of baseline clinical signs and 
symptoms, but continued therapy is warranted. This outcome category will only be 
used at Day 3 and Day 7 visits. 
Failure 
Subjects who experience any one of the following:  
• 
At any study visit, worsening of baseline clinical signs and symptoms or the 
development of new clinical signs and symptoms of infection, sufficient to stop 
study medication and initiate non-study antimicrobial or require unplanned 
surgical procedures or percutaneous drainage; 
• 
Surgical site wound infection; 
• 
At TOC and LFU visits, persistence, incomplete resolution of baseline clinical 
signs and symptoms of infection;  
• 
Withdrawal from the study due to an adverse event or due to lack of clinical 
improvement; or 
• 
Death of the subject during the study. 
Indeterminate 
Clinical outcome cannot be determined. 
EOT = End of Treatment; LFU = Late Follow-up; TOC = Test of Cure. 
15.1.3 
Microbiologic Outcome 
The microbiologic outcome will be used, as a component of an assessment of overall response, to 
determine a response of success for subjects with cUTI or AP (FDA only), or bacteremia. The 
microbiologic outcome will be used to determine a response of success for subjects with cUTI or 
AP for the EMA. The criteria for microbiological outcome for subjects with cUTI or AP are

Criteria for Microbiologic Outcome for cUTI or AP 
Category 
Criteria 
Eradication 
• 
Eradication is the demonstration that the bacterial pathogen(s) found at baseline 
is reduced to <104 CFU/mL on urine culture for FDA or <103 CFU/mL for EMA 
• 
AND a negative blood culture (after positive blood culture at baseline). 
Persistence 
• 
Persistence is the demonstration at EOT that 1 or more of the bacterial 
pathogen(s) found at baseline remains 104 CFU/mL of urine culture for FDA or 
103 CFU/mL for EMA, 
• 
OR a positive blood culture. 
Recurrence 
• 
Recurrence is the isolation of the same baseline bacterial pathogen(s) from 
culture after a response of eradication,  
• 
OR a positive blood culture with the same baseline organism that was identified 
as a uropathogen after a response of eradication. 
Indeterminate 
• 
An indeterminate outcome will occur if there is no culture or the culture cannot 
be interpreted for any reason. 
AP = acute pyelonephritis; CFU = colony-forming unit; cUTI = complicated urinary tract infection; 
EMA = European Medicines Agency; EOT = End of Treatment; FDA = Food and Drug Administration. 
 
The criteria for microbiological outcome for subjects with bacteremia are presented in Table 12. 
Table 12. 
Criteria for Microbiologic Outcome for Bacteremia 
Category 
Criteria 
Eradication 
• 
Eradication is the demonstration that the bacterial pathogen(s) found at baseline 
is absent with repeat blood culture. 
Persistence 
• 
Persistence is the demonstration at EOT that the bacterial pathogen(s) found at 
baseline is present with repeat blood culture. 
Recurrence 
• 
Recurrence is the isolation of the same baseline bacterial pathogen(s) from blood 
culture after a response of eradication.  
Indeterminate 
• 
An indeterminate outcome will occur if there is no blood culture or the blood 
culture cannot be interpreted for any reason. 
EOT = End of Treatment. 
15.1.4 
Overall Response 
Overall response will be used to determine a response of success for subjects with cUTI or AP 
(FDA only), or bacteremia. This efficacy measure is derived from a composite of the clinical 
outcome and the microbiological outcome.  
The algorithm for overall response at the TOC visit is summarized in Table 13.

17 DATA MANAGEMENT 
Study data will be entered into eCRFs at the study sites. Prior to database lock, programmed 
computer edit checks will be run against the database to check for discrepancies and 
reasonableness of the data. All issues resulting from the computer-generated checks will be 
resolved. 
Standard eCRFs from the clinical research organization will be used for the study. The data 
contained in the eCRFs will be obtained directly from the clinical data at the site and will be 
source-document verified. Each eCRF will be reviewed and signed off by the Investigator.  
The data management system to be used will be a fully-integrated study management and clinical 
database. 
Visual and computerized methods of data validation will be applied in order to ensure accurate, 
consistent, and reliable data for the subsequent statistical analysis. 
All raw data generated in connection with this study will be retained in the scientific archives of 
the site and/or stored by the site in a designated storage facility until at least 2 years after the last 
approval of a marketing application in an International Conference of Harmonization (ICH) region 
and until there are no pending or contemplated marketing applications in an ICH region or at least 
2 years have elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical development of the investigational 
product. These documents should be retained for a longer period, however, if required by the 
applicable regulatory requirements or by an agreement with the Sponsor. It is the responsibility of 
the Sponsor to inform the Investigator/Institution as to when these documents no longer need to 
be retained.

PK sample drawn.  
The m-MITT Population will include subjects who meet the MITT criteria and have a baseline 
gram negative bacterial pathogen(s). 
The mCRE-MITT Population (i.e., Primary Efficacy Population) will include subjects who meet 
the m-MITT criteria and who have a baseline Enterobacteriaceae that is confirmed to be 
meropenem-resistant. 
The CE Population will include subjects who meet the MITT criteria, as well as the following 
criteria:

The CRE Microbiological Evaluable (CRE-ME) Population will include subjects who meet the 
ME criteria and who have a baseline Enterobacteriaceae that is confirmed to be 
meropenem-resistant. 
18.2 
Disposition, Demographics, Baseline Characteristics, and Exposure 
The number of subjects randomized, treated, completed, and discontinued early from treatment 
and from study, and the reasons for discontinuation, will be summarized descriptively. 
Demographic and baseline characteristics will be summarized descriptively. The number of doses 
of study drug taken by subjects will be summarized descriptively for each treatment group. 
18.3 
Efficacy Analysis 
The efficacy analyses will be descriptive summaries of the proportion of subjects in the 
mCRE-MITT Population at the TOC visit with a response of success defined according to primary 
indication. A descriptive summary of all-cause mortality for subjects with HABP, VABP, and 
bacteremia will be provided. Two-sided, exact binomial 95% confidence intervals (CIs) for the 
true proportion of responses of success for the primary efficacy endpoint will be reported.  
Exploratory analyses will be conducted based on subject evaluability and may include clinical and 
microbiological responses in various analysis populations at EOT, TOC, and LFU. 
Analyses of the other secondary and exploratory endpoints will be conducted in a similar manner 
as the analyses above.  
18.4 
Safety Analysis 
All subjects who receive at least 1 dose of study drug (i.e., the MITT Population) will be included 
in the safety analyses and analyzed based on the actual treatment received. Adverse events will be 
collected throughout the study duration. A TEAE is defined as an adverse event with a start date 
and time on or after the first dose of study drug. Treatment-emergent adverse events will be 
tabulated by NCI-CTCAE Grade. The number and percentage of subjects in each treatment group 
reporting at least 1 occurrence of a TEAE for each unique System Organ Class and Preferred Term 
will be tabulated. Treatment-emergent adverse events will also be tabulated by severity and by the 
relationship to study drug in treatment groups as assessed by the Investigator. The number and 
percentage of subjects in each treatment group reporting at least one occurrence of an SAE will be 
tabulated. The number and percentage of subjects (in each treatment group) prematurely 
discontinuing study drug treatment due to a TEAE will be tabulated by System Organ Class and 
Preferred Term.  
Safety laboratory data will be presented by change from baseline. The number and percentage of 
subjects with laboratory, vital sign, ECG, or physical examination abnormalities at baseline, 
subsequent visits, or early termination from the study will be tabulated by treatment group. The

results of all laboratory tests, physical examination findings, ECG, and vital signs will be presented 
in data listings. 
18.5 
Sample Size Justification 
Due to the infeasibility of recruiting a large number of subjects infected with CRE pathogens, no 
formal power calculations have been performed for this study. The sample size is based on 
practical considerations. 
The study will enroll approximately 150 subjects with serious infections, of whom a proportion 
will have CRE infections across the following indications: cUTI or AP, cIAI, HABP, VABP, 
and/or bacteremia.  
Subjects will be stratified at randomization based on their presenting indication and by region 
(North America vs. Europe vs. Asia Pacific vs. Rest of World). 
Enrollment will continue until at least 45 subjects (30 Carbavance [meropenem/RPX7009, 
15 BAT) with cUTI or AP are documented to have a CRE organism at baseline and until at least 
30 subjects with cIAI (20 Carbavance [meropenem/RPX7009], 10 BAT) are enrolled.  Once the 
specified number of subjects are enrolled in the cUTI and/or cIAI indications, data from these 
subjects may be submitted to regulatory agencies in support of a marketing application, and the 
enrollment of additional subjects into the specific indication(s) where enrollment was met may be 
stopped.

• 
A summary of the study prepared by the PI (an IRB/IEC summary letter is acceptable). 
19.12 Audits 
During the course of the study, or after completion of the study, study sites will be selected for an 
audit by a Quality Assurance (QA) Auditor from the Sponsor (or an auditor appointed by the 
Sponsor or the Sponsor’s authorized representative) and/or an inspector from the FDA, EMA, 
and/or other regulatory authority.  
19.13 Retention of Records 
The Sponsor follows US and other national regulations and ICH guidelines in its retention policy. 
In the US, the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) requires for Investigational New Drugs 
(21 CFR 312.62) that records and documents pertaining to the conduct of this study and the 
distribution of investigational drugs including eCRFs, consent forms, laboratory test results, and 
medication inventory records be kept on file by the PI for 2 years after a marketing application is 
approved for the drug for the indication for which it is being studied. If no application is filed or 
approved, these records must be kept for 2 years after the investigation has been discontinued and 
the FDA has been notified. International Conference on Harmonization guidelines indicate that 
documents should be retained until at least 2 years after the last approval of a marketing application 
in an ICH region and until there are no pending or contemplated marketing applications in an ICH 
region, or at least 2 years have elapsed since the formal discontinuation of clinical development of 
the investigational product. If there is a country or institutional policy that specific records and 
documents be retained for a longer period than described above, the applicable sites must comply 
with those policies in addition to US and ICH policies. No study records should be destroyed 
without prior authorization from the Sponsor.

APPENDIX 4: 
 A PHASE 1, OPEN-LABEL, SINGLE-DOSE STUDY TO 
DETERMINE THE SAFETY AND PHARMACOKINETICS OF 
CARBAVANCE IN SUBJECTS WITH RENAL INSUFFICIENCY 
(INCLUDING SUBJECTS ON STANDARD HEMODIALYSIS) 
Study 504 was an open-label study in adult subjects with varying degrees of renal insufficiency, 
including those requiring hemodialysis (HD). The safety and PK of a single IV dose of 1 g 
meropenem plus 1 g RPX7009, infused over 3 hours, was evaluated. Forty-one subjects were 
enrolled in 5 groups based on their degree of renal insufficiency. The five cohorts included: 
subjects with normal renal function (CrCl >90 ml/min), mild renal impairment (CrCl 
60-89 ml/min), moderate renal impairment (CrCl 30-<60 ml/min), severe renal impairment (CrCl 
<30 ml/min, and subjects with end stage renal disease requiring hemodialysis. Patients on renal 
replacement therapy other than standard hemodialysis (including continuous veno-venous 
hemofiltration, continuous veno-venous hemodialysis and continuous renal replacement therapy) 
were not studied.   
Figure 1 shows the relation between estimated GFR (eGFR) and meropenem or RPX7009 plasma 
clearance. The plasma clearance of both drugs remained similar throughout the range of renal 
function as evidenced by the clustering of values and the linear decline in clearance with 
decreasing renal function.  
The removal of meropenem and RPX7009 during hemodialysis was studied in 9 patients with 
severe renal insufficiency on chronic hemodialysis. Patients received a single meropenem 1 g/ 
RPX7009 1 g dose, followed by a hemodialysis session. Both meropenem and RPX7009 were 
removed from plasma by hemodialysis. These data indicate that maintenance doses of each drug 
(adjusted for degree of underlying endogenous renal function) should be administered after a 
dialysis session.

Determination of Carbavance (meropenem/RX7009) Dosage in Renal Impairment 
Dosage adjustment according to degree of renal impairment was determined by analysis of 
estimates of each subject’s pharmacokinetics and exposures determined by analysis of various 
potential dosage regimens of meropenem or RPX7009. The objective was to maintain exposures 
(as AUC) across the range of renal function to be as consistent as possible across the spectrum of 
renal function. In view of PK-PD analyses in nonclinical models that show AUC is linked to 
efficacy for RPX7009, AUC was the appropriate controller of efficacy for this agent. Since T>MIC 
is the PK-PD index important for meropenem, different dosing intervals were evaluated to insure 
T>MICbreakpoint was above threshold values (T>MIC >40%) for efficacy. For purposes of this 
analysis, the forecasted susceptibility breakpoint for meropenem based on the 2 gram dose and 
3 hr infusion was 8 ug/ml.  For purposes of this analysis, the forecasted susceptibility breakpoint 
for meropenem based on the 2 gram dose and 3 hr infusion was 8 ug/ml.  This breakpoint was 
determined by results of in vitro resistance development experiments which showed that a a 
minimum concentration of 8 mg/L of RPX7009 (in combination with 8 mg/L of meropenem) was 
required to be present for 24 hours to prevent resistance. Free drug was considered for both 
meropenem and RPX7009 (plasma protein binding of 6% and 33%, respectively). Free drug was 
considered for both meropenem and RPX7009 (plasma protein binding of 6% and 33%, 
respectively).  
Meropenem 
Table 1 shows meropenem Time > MIC (T> MIC) measured in each patient and PK-PD indices 
for three potential dosage regimens in each subject according to measured meropenem PK in each 
subject. Meropenem dosage regimens were identified for each of the strata of renal function that 
would meet or achieve target exposures (T>MIC of at least 40% of the dosing interval) in all 
subjects (see shaded cells).

RPX7009 
Table 2 shows RPX7009 AUC measured in each subject and 24h AUC for three potential dosage 
regimens according to measured RPX7009 clearance in each subject. Since AUC is the target PK 
metric and RPX7009 clearance remained close to meropenem clearance, unit and 24 hr doses 
remained at a 1:1 ratio throughout the range of renal function.  
Considerations for subjects with creatinine clearance < 10 ml/min 
As noted in the Figure 1, as creatinine clearance falls below 10 ml/min, meropenem non-renal 
clearance assumes a greater proportion of total clearance. In contrast, RPX7009 has no 
measureable non-renal clearance. Thus, to maintain a 1:1 dose ratio and, more importantly 
provide therapeutic exposures of each component and to avoid accumulation of RPX7009, 
patients with a creatinine clearance <10 ml/min should receive hemodialysis at least every 3 days 
(i.e., at least twice weekly).
