Study Comparing the Safety and Efficacy of Intravenous CXA-201 and Intravenous Levofloxacin in Complicated Urinary Tract Infection, Including Pyelonephritis

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Provide written informed consent prior to any study-related procedure not part ofnormal medical care (a legally acceptable representative may provide consent if thesubject is unable to do so, provided this is approved by local country andinstitution specific guidelines).

2. Be males or females ≥ 18 years of age

3. If female, subject is non-lactating, and is either:

4. Not of childbearing potential, defined as postmenopausal for at least 1 year orsurgically sterile due to bilateral tubal ligation, bilateral oophorectomy, orhysterectomy; or

5. Of childbearing potential and is practicing a barrier method of birth control (e.g., a diaphragm or contraceptive sponge) along with 1 of the followingmethods: oral or parenteral contraceptives (for 3 months prior to study drugadministration), or a vasectomized partner. Or, subject is practicing abstinencefrom sexual intercourse. Subjects must be willing to practice these methods forthe duration of the trial and for at least 35 days after last dose of studymedication.

6. Males are required to practice reliable birth control methods (condom or otherbarrier device) during the conduct of the study and for at least 35 days after lastdose of study medication.

7. Pyuria (white blood cell [WBC] count > 10/μL in unspun urine or ≥ 10 per high powerfield in spun urine).

8. Clinical signs and/or symptoms of cUTI, either of:

9. Pyelonephritis, as indicated by at least 2 of the following:

• Documented fever (oral temperature > 38°C) accompanied by patient symptomsof rigors, chills, or "warmth";

• Flank pain;

• Costovertebral angle tenderness or suprapubic tenderness on physical exam;or

• nausea or vomiting; OR

2. Complicated lower UTI, as indicated by at least 2 of the following:

• At least 2 of the following new or worsening symptoms of cUTI:

• Dysuria; urinary frequency or urinary urgency;

• Documented fever (oral temperature > 38°C) accompanied by patientsymptoms of rigors, chills, or "warmth";

• Suprapubic pain or flank pain;

• Costovertebral angle tenderness or suprapubic tenderness on physicalexam; or

• Nausea or vomiting; plus,

• At least 1 of the following complicating factors:

• Males with documented history of urinary retention;

• Indwelling urinary catheter that is scheduled to be removed during IVstudy therapy and before the EOT;

• Current obstructive uropathy that is scheduled to be medically orsurgically relieved during IV study therapy and before the EOT; or

• Any functional or anatomical abnormality of the urogenital tract (including anatomic malformations or neurogenic bladder) with voidingdisturbance resulting in at least 100 mL residual urine.

7. Have a pretreatment baseline urine culture specimen obtained within 24 hours beforethe start of administration of the first dose of study drug. NOTE: Subjects may be enrolled in this study and start IV study drug therapy beforethe Investigator knows the results of the baseline urine culture.

8. Require IV antibacterial therapy for the treatment of the presumed cUTI.

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Have a documented history of any moderate or severe hypersensitivity or allergicreaction to any β-lactam or quinilone antibacterial (Note: for β-lactams, a historyof a mild rash followed by uneventful re-exposure is not a contraindication toenrollment)

2. Have a concomitant infection at the time of randomization, which requires non-studysystemic antibacterial therapy in addition to IV study drug therapy. (Drugs with onlygram-positive activity [e.g., vancomycin, linezolid] are allowed.)

3. Receipt of any amount of potentially therapeutic antibacterial therapy aftercollection of the pretreatment baseline urine culture and before administration ofthe first dose of study drug.

4. Receipt of any dose of a potentially therapeutic antibacterial agent for thetreatment of the current UTI within 48 hours before the study-qualifying pretreatmentbaseline urine is obtained (exceptions: subjects with an active cUTI who havereceived prior antibiotics may be enrolled provided a minimum of 48 hours haveelapsed between the last dose of the prior antibiotic and the time of obtaining thebaseline urine specimen. Subjects receiving current antibiotic prophylaxis for cUTIwho present with signs and symptoms consistent with an active new cUTI may beenrolled provided all other eligibility criteria are met including obtaining apre-treatment qualifying baseline urine culture).

5. Intractable urinary infection at baseline that the Investigator anticipates wouldrequire more than 7 days of study drug therapy.

6. Complete, permanent obstruction of the urinary tract.

7. Confirmed fungal urinary tract infection at time of randomization (with ≥ 103 fungalCFU/mL).

8. Permanent indwelling bladder catheter or urinary stent including nephrostomy.

9. Suspected or confirmed perinephric or intrarenal abscess.

10. Suspected or confirmed prostatitis.

11. Ileal loop or known vesico-ureteral reflux.

12. Severe impairment of renal function including an estimated CrCl < 30 mL/min,requirement for peritoneal dialysis, hemodialysis or hemofiltration, or oliguria (< 20 mL/h urine output over 24 hours).

13. Current urinary catheter that is not scheduled to be removed before the EOT (intermittent straight catheterization during the IV study drug administration periodis acceptable).

14. Any condition or circumstance that, in the opinion of the Investigator, wouldcompromise the safety of the subject or the quality of study data.

15. Any rapidly progressing disease or immediately life-threatening illness includingacute hepatic failure, respiratory failure, and septic shock.

16. Immunocompromising condition, including established AIDS, hematological malignancy,or bone marrow transplantation, or immunosuppressive therapy including cancerchemotherapy, medications for prevention of organ transplantation rejection, or theadministration of corticosteroids equivalent to or greater than 40 mg of prednisoneper day administered continuously for more than 14 days preceding randomization.

17. One or more of the following laboratory abnormalities in baseline specimens:aspartate aminotransferase (AST [SGOT]), alanine aminotransferase (ALT [SGPT]),alkaline phosphatase, or total bilirubin level greater than 3 times the upper limitof normal (ULN), absolute neutrophil count less than 500/μL, platelet count less than 40,000/μL, or hematocrit less than 20%.

18. Participation in any clinical study of an investigational product within 30 daysprior to the proposed first day of study drug.

19. Previous participation in any study of CXA-101 or CXA-201.

20. Women who are pregnant or nursing.
