Summary
The ASPECT-cIAI trial demonstrates high clinical cure rates, similar to those of meropenem, with ceftolozane/tazobactam plus metronidazole in patients with complicated intra-abdominal infections in a European population. In addition, a post hoc analysis shows similar outcomes between patients who are nonobese and obese.
