The β-lactamase inhibitor relebactam can restore imipenem activity against imipenem-nonsusceptible gram-negative pathogens. We evaluated imipenem/relebactam for treating infections.Randomized, controlled, double-blind, phase 3 trial. Hospitalized patients with hospital-acquired/ventilator-associated pneumonia, complicated intraabdominal infection, or urinary tract infection caused by (but colistin- and imipenem/relebactam-susceptible) pathogens were randomized 2:1 to 5-21 days...
