Evaluating HRS-8427 for treating complicated urinary tract infections in adults

A Multi-center, Randomized, Double-blind, Active Controlled, Parallel Groups, Phase III Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of HRS-8427 in the Treatment of Adults With Complicated Urinary Tract Infection, Including Acute Pyelonephritis

This study is testing a new medication called HRS-8427 to see if it helps adults with complicated urinary tract infections feel better compared to standard treatments.

Quick facts

• Phase: Phase 3
• Study type: Interventional
• Enrollment: 578 (estimated)
• Ages: 18 Years and up
• Sex: All
• Sponsor: Jiangsu HengRui Medicine Co., Ltd. (Industry-sponsored)
• Locations: 1 site (Shanghai, Shanghai Municipality)
• Trial ID: NCT06569056 on ClinicalTrials.gov

What this trial studies

This clinical trial aims to assess the efficacy and safety of HRS-8427 in adults diagnosed with complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI), including acute pyelonephritis (AP). Participants will receive either HRS-8427, Imipenem and Cilastatin Sodium, or placebos for these treatments. The study will involve hospitalized patients who require intravenous antibiotics and will monitor their response to the medication over the course of the trial. Urine specimens will be collected to confirm the presence of infection prior to treatment.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates include adults aged 18 and older with a clinical diagnosis of cUTI or AP who require hospitalization.

Not a fit: Patients with uncomplicated urinary tract infections or those who do not require hospitalization may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could provide a new effective option for patients suffering from complicated urinary tract infections.

How similar studies have performed: Other studies have shown promise in treating complicated urinary tract infections with novel antibiotics, suggesting potential success for this approach.
