Complicated Urinary Tract Infections Overview

Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are among the most widespread infectious diseases globally but remain relatively under-researched. While uropathogenic Escherichia coli (UPEC) is responsible for the majority of cases, the urinary tract can be infected by a range of bacterial species, each interacting uniquely with the bladder environment.

UTIs can vary significantly in severity, from mild, uncomplicated infections to more serious conditions such as complicated UTIs (cUTIs), pyelonephritis, and urosepsis, underscoring the need for accurate patient stratification. cUTIs tend to have higher risks of recurrence, chronic symptoms, and adverse outcomes, primarily driven by host-related factors rather than the infecting organism. These infections also frequently show high levels of antibiotic resistance.

Asymptomatic bacteriuria (ASB) is the most prevalent type of complicated urinary infection, particularly among patients with long-term catheter use, neurogenic bladder disorders, or elderly individuals in nursing homes. Symptomatic presentations can range from mild discomfort to life-threatening complications such as bacteremia and sepsis. Complete urinary obstruction or trauma, especially when accompanied by blood in the urine, is often linked to more severe disease. Diagnosing a cUTI typically involves a combination of clinical assessment, microbiological analysis, and imaging studies.

Complicated Urinary Tract Infections Treatment Market

A variety of medications are used for treatment, including beta-lactamase inhibitors, protein synthesis inhibitors, and others. In some cases, healthcare providers may recommend combination therapies or dietary supplements.

For hospitalized patients, broad-spectrum treatment regimens are typically used as empiric therapy. These may include extended-spectrum cephalosporins with or without an aminoglycoside, or combinations of a beta-lactam antibiotic with a beta-lactamase inhibitor (such as ampicillin-sulbactam, ticarcillin-clavulanate, or piperacillin-tazobactam).

Currently approved treatments for complicated urinary tract infections include RECARBRIO and ZERBAXA (Merck Sharp & Dohme), AVYCAZ (AbbVie/Pfizer), FETROJA (Shionogi), VABOMERE (Melinta Therapeutics), ZEMDRI (Cipla Therapeutics), and EXBLIFEP (Allecra Therapeutics).

RECARBRIO is a combination therapy that includes imipenem, an antibacterial from the penem class; cilastatin, an inhibitor of renal dehydropeptidase; and relebactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor. ZERBAXA combines ceftolozane, a cephalosporin-class antibiotic, with tazobactam, a beta-lactamase inhibitor, and is approved for treating complicated urinary tract infections, including kidney infections.

FETROJA , a cephalosporin antibiotic, is indicated for adults aged 18 and above to treat infections caused by susceptible Gram-negative bacteria, such as cUTI and pyelonephritis. VABOMERE , which consists of meropenem and the beta-lactamase inhibitor vaborbactam, was approved by the FDA in August 2017 for adult patients with cUTI, including pyelonephritis due to certain bacteria. EXBLIFEP is a combination of cefepime, a fourth-generation cephalosporin, and enmetazobactam, an innovative extended-spectrum beta-lactamase inhibitor.

Complicated Urinary Tract Infections Emerging Drugs and Companies

Some of the drugs in the pipeline include tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide, cefepime/zidebactam, and cefepime-Taniborbactam , among others.

Tebipenem HBr (tebipenem pivoxil hydrobromide; previously known as SPR994) is an orally administered antibiotic intended for treating complicated urinary tract infections and acute pyelonephritis (AP). It aims to minimize hospital admissions or facilitate patient discharge following intravenous (IV) antibiotic therapy. In March 2025, Spero Therapeutics, in partnership with GSK, initiated a pre-planned interim analysis of the ongoing Phase 3 PIVOT-PO trial evaluating tebipenem HBr. The outcome of this analysis is expected in Q2 2025.

WCK-5222 (cefepime/zidebactam) is a next-generation antibiotic that combines a novel β-lactam enhancer mechanism designed to counter the diverse and evolving β-lactamases that undermine even advanced β-lactam antibiotics. Zidebactam, a first-in-class β-lactam enhancer, robustly targets penicillin-binding protein 2 (PBP2) across key Gram-negative pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, and Enterobacterales. This candidate is approaching the final stages of a global Phase III trial, aimed at supporting regulatory approval for treating adult patients with cUTIs or AP.

Cefepime-taniborbactam (VNRX-5133) is a combination of a β-lactam antibiotic and β-lactamase inhibitor, being developed by Venatorx Pharmaceuticals for infections such as cUTIs and hospital- or ventilator-associated bacterial pneumonia (HABP/VABP). In February 2024, Venatorx and Melinta Therapeutics disclosed that the FDA issued a Complete Response Letter (CRL) in response to their New Drug Application (NDA) for cefepime-taniborbactam. That same month, The New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published CERTAIN-1 Phase III trial results, which demonstrated that cefepime-taniborbactam outperformed meropenem in treating complicated UTIs, including AP, while maintaining a comparable safety profile.

The anticipated launch of these emerging complicated urinary tract infections therapies are poised to transform the complicated urinary tract infections market landscape in the coming years. As these cutting-edge complicated urinary tract infection therapies continue to mature and gain regulatory approval, they are expected to reshape the complicated urinary tract infections market landscape, offering new standards of care and unlocking opportunities for medical innovation and economic growth.

Complicated Urinary Tract Infections Market Dynamics

The complicated urinary tract infections market dynamics are anticipated to change in the coming years. Rising use of urinary catheters and other drainage devices , along with the growing demand for antibiotics , the only available treatment for cUTIs and UTIs, is expected to drive market growth, especially as catheter users are at higher risk of infection; however, the current lack of high-potency approved oral antibiotics highlights a significant opportunity, where the first-ever FDA approval for such drugs could offer a strong first-mover advantage , further supported by increasing mergers, acquisitions, and collaborations aimed at developing safer and more effective therapies.

Furthermore, many potential therapies are being investigated for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections, and it is safe to predict that the treatment space will significantly impact the complicated urinary tract infections market during the forecast period. Moreover, the anticipated introduction of emerging therapies with improved efficacy and a further improvement in the diagnosis rate is expected to drive the growth of the complicated urinary tract infections market in the 7MM.

However, several factors may impede the growth of the complicated urinary tract infections market. Currently, the treatment landscape for complicated urinary tract infections is limited by a lack of therapeutic options , rising treatment resistance, and inconsistent clinical guidelines , with conflicting recommendations between organizations creating confusion for providers; furthermore, the absence of consensus on appropriate therapy use and payer reluctance to reimburse costly drugs with modest efficacy further complicate effective disease management.

Moreover, complicated urinary tract infection treatment poses a significant economic burden and disrupts patients' overall well-being and QOL. Furthermore, the complicated urinary tract infections market growth may be offset by failures and discontinuation of emerging therapies , unaffordable pricing , market access and reimbursement issues , and a shortage of healthcare specialists . In addition, the undiagnosed, unreported cases and the unawareness about the disease may also impact the complicated urinary tract infections market growth.
