Randomized, Double-Blind, Comparative Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of ZTI-01 vs Piperacillin/Tazobactam in the Treatment of cUTI/AP Infection in Hospitalized Adults

The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the safety and efficacy of ZTI-01 (IV fosfomycin)
as non-inferior to piperacillin/tazobactam in overall success (clinical cure and
microbiologic eradication) for the treatment of hospitalized patients with complicated
urinary tract infections (cUTI) or acute pyelonephritis (AP).

This is a multi-center, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study to evaluate the
safety, tolerability, efficacy, and pharmacokinetics of ZTI-01 (IV fosfomycin) compared to
piperacillin/tazobactam in the treatment of hospitalized adults with cUTI or AP. Diagnosed
and prescreened hospitalized patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive one of two
intravenous treatments: 6 g ZTI-01 three times daily (18g total daily dose) or 4.5 g
piperacillin/tazobactam three times daily (13.5g total daily dose) for 7 calendar days, with
option to extend treatment up to 14 days in patients with positive blood culture at
pretreatment. Patients will participate in the study for approximately 26 days. Urine
cultures will be obtained and organisms quantified for qualified patients at baseline, during
treatment, at end of treatment (EOT), at test of cure (TOC) and late follow up visits (LFU).
Blood cultures will be obtained at baseline and repeated if positive throughout the study.
Safety and efficacy evaluations will include vital signs, labs, physical exams, ECG and
overall response as evaluated by the Investigator. Pharmacokinetic samples will be obtained
(sparse sampling) for all patients.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. A signed informed consent form (ICF);

2. Male or female, at least 18 years of age;

3. Diagnosis requires hospitalization and treatment with intravenous (IV) antibiotics;

4. Documented or suspected cUTI or AP including at least 2 protocol defined signs and
symptoms and a urine specimen with evidence of pyuria plus at least one protocol
defined associated risk

5. Pretreatment baseline urine culture specimen

6. Expectation that any implanted urinary instrumentation will be removed or replaced not
longer than 24 hours, after randomization;

7. Expectation that patient will survive anticipated duration of the study;

8. Patient requires initial hospitalization to manage the cUTI or AP;

9. Women of childbearing potential have had a negative pregnancy test before
randomization and be willing to consistently use a highly effective method of
contraception

10. Male study participants will be required to use condoms with a spermicide throughout
study

Exclusion Criteria:

1. Presence of any of the following conditions: perinephric abscess, renal
corticomedullary abscess, uncomplicated urinary tract infection, recent history of
trauma to the pelvis or urinary tract, polycystic kidney disease, chronic
vesicoureteral reflux, previous or planned renal transplantation; patients receiving
dialysis/hemodialysis/CVVH, previous or planned cystectomy or ileal loop surgery;
known or suspected infection; caused by pathogen resistant to study treatment
antibiotics

2. Presence of suspected or confirmed acute bacterial prostatitis, orchitis,
epididymitis, or chronic bacterial prostatitis as determined by history and/or
physical examination;

3. Gross hematuria requiring intervention;

4. Urinary tract surgery within 7 days prior to randomization or urinary tract surgery
planned during the study period;

5. Creatinine clearance <20 mL/min using the Cockcroft-Gault formula;

6. Non-renal source of infection such as endocarditis, osteomyelitis, abscess,
meningitis, or pneumonia diagnosed within 7 days prior to randomization;

7. Signs of severe sepsis as defined per protocol;

8. Pregnant or breastfeeding women;

9. Known seizure disorder requiring current treatment with anti-seizure medication which
would prohibit the patient from complying with the protocol;

10. Cancer chemotherapy, immunosuppressive medications for transplantation, or medications
for rejection of transplantation with 30 days of randomization;

11. Significant hepatic disease or dysfunction, including known acute viral hepatitis or
hepatic encephalopathy;

12. ALT/AST >5 × ULN or total bilirubin >3 × ULN at Screening;

13. Receipt of any potentially-effective systemic antibiotic with activity against
Gram-negative uropathogens for more than 24 hours within the 72-hour window prior to
randomization (exceptions defined in protocol);

14. Requirement for additional systemic antibiotic therapy (other than study drug) or
antifungal therapy for vaginal candidiasis;

15. Likely to require the use of an antibiotic for cUTI or AP prophylaxis during the
study;

16. Known history of HIV virus infection and known recent CD4 count <200/mm3;

17. Presence of significant immunodeficiency or an immunocompromised condition and
long-term use of systemic corticosteroids;

18. Presence of neutropenia;

19. Presence of thrombocytopenia;

20. A QT interval corrected using Fridericia's formula >480 msec;

21. History of significant hypersensitivity or allergic reaction to fosfomycin, any
contraindication to the use of piperacillin/tazobactam;

22. Participation in a clinical study involving investigational medication or
investigational device within the last 30 days prior to randomization;

23. Inability, in the judgment of the Investigator, to tolerate the salt load required for
study drug administration;

24. Unable or unwilling, in the judgment of the Investigator, to comply with the protocol;

25. Any patients previously randomized in this study.
