Summary

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of ceftolozane/tazobactam (MK-7625A) plus metronidazole versus meropenem in adults diagnosed with complicated intra-abdominal infection (cIAI). The primary hypothesis is ceftolozane/tazobactam plus metronidazole is non-inferior to meropenem, as measured by the clinical response rate at the Test-of Cure (TOC) visit in the Clinically Evaluable (CE) population.
