imipenem/cilastatin-xnw4107 versus imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam for treatment of participants with bacterial pneumonia (xnw4107-302, reitab-2)

Conditions: Hospital Acquired Bacterial Pneumonia or Ventilator-Associated Bacterial Pneumonia

Summary: this study aims to compare treatment with imipenem/cilastatin-xnw4107 (imi-xnw4107) with imipenem/cilastatin/relebactam (imi/rel) in participants with hospital-acquired or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (habp or vapb, respectively). the primary hypothesis is that imi-xnw4107 is non-inferior to imi/rel in all-cause mortality.
