Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common cause of disability in older adults worldwide affecting 7% of the global population, or more than 500 million people globally. Total joint replacements (TJR) can help bring relief to those with osteoarthritis when other treatment options are no longer helpful. Infection is the main reason hip and knee replacements "fail". Failure leads to repeat surgeries that are often more complicated and less likely to be successful than the first surgery. Reducing the risk of infection is extremely important, antiseptic washes and antibiotics may help us do that. After joint replacement surgery, orthopaedic surgeons wash and clean the surgical wound to lower the risk of infection. The goal of this clinical trial is to determine if the use of antiseptic solutions to wash the surgical site and placing an antibiotic directly into the wound will reduce the number of infections requiring reoperation. Patients having total joint replacements will be randomized (like flipping a coin) to receive 6 possible combinations of washes and / or antibiotics. Participants will be followed for one year after TJR to compare the rate of infection in each group.

Trial Phase:Phase 4

170 Participants Needed

Multiple studies have demonstrated oral suppressive antibiotic therapy (SAT), after intravenous antibiotics, maximizes reoperation-free survival of total joint arthroplasty (TJA) debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention (DAIR) for acute periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). However, little is known regarding sequelae of SAT after DAIR for PJI. Prior studies have small or heterogeneous patient cohorts, variable antibiotic regimens, arrive at disparate conclusions, and do not establish antibiotic resistance risk. The investigators propose a prospective randomized controlled multicenter study to expand on findings in a retrospective, multi-center pilot study. Study aims are to evaluate SAT after DAIR of acutely infected primary TJA regarding: 1) adverse drug reactions/intolerance; 2) reoperation for infection; and 3) antibiotic resistance.

This purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety, tolerability and efficacy of a bacteriophage therapy in a patient with a methicillin-susceptible Enterococcus faecium (E. faecium) prosthetic joint infection (PJI) of the hip. We have exhausted all surgical and medical management of PJI for our patient. The phage will be administered to the study patient during a 14 days period via intravenous and intra-articular. The patient will be monitored in clinic for up to 1 year.

This is a single-patient, phase I/II clinical trial that aims to evaluate the potential of a bacteriophage drug product to treat and prevent the recurrence of a Morganella morganii prosthetic joint infection of the hip. The patient has exhausted all conventional therapies, both surgical and medical, at considerable detriment to their quality of life. The treatment involves 2 intra-articular injections of bacteriophages into the joint and surrounding area and 14 days of intravenous phage therapy. The goal is to eliminate the infection and prevent further complications, providing a potential new treatment avenue for patients with difficult-to-treat infections.

The goal of this interventional study is to determine the amount of skin C. acnes reduction with increased pressure during the chlorhexidine gluconate, brand name ChloraPrep, application. The main question it aims to answer is: Does changing the pressure applied during the ChloraPrep application impact the amount of C. acnes bacteria on the skin after one hour? Researchers will compare ChloraPrep applied at a pressure similar to a gentle wipe to ChloraPrep applied at a pressure similar to a massage to see if wash the amount of C. acnes on the skin after one hour is different. Participants will have one shoulder washed with ChloraPrep using pressure meant to impact the dermal layer, similar to a gentle wipe, and the other shoulder washed with ChloraPrep using pressure meant to impact the subdermal layer, similar to a massage. Participants will have swabs taken of their skin before the ChloraPrep application and again one hour after application to look for the amount of C. acnes on the skin.

Why Other Patients Applied

"I was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer three months ago, metastatic to my liver, and I have been receiving and responding well to chemotherapy. My blood work revealed that my tumor markers have gone from 2600 in the beginning to 173 as of now, even with the delay in treatment, they are not going up. CT Scans reveal they have been shrinking as well. However, chemo is seriously deteriorating my body. I have 4 more treatments to go in this 12 treatment cycle. I am just interested in learning about my other options, if any are available to me."

"I've been struggling with ADHD and anxiety since I was 9 years old. I'm currently 30. I really don't like how numb the medications make me feel. And especially now, that I've lost my grandma and my aunt 8 days apart, my anxiety has been even worse. So I'm trying to find something new."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do Periprosthetic Joint Infection clinical trials pay?

Each trial will compensate patients a different amount, but $50-100 for each visit is a fairly common range for Phase 2–4 trials (Phase 1 trials often pay substantially more). Further, most trials will cover the costs of a travel to-and-from the clinic.

How do Periprosthetic Joint Infection clinical trials work?

After a researcher reviews your profile, they may choose to invite you in to a screening appointment, where they'll determine if you meet 100% of the eligibility requirements. If you do, you'll be sorted into one of the treatment groups, and receive your study drug. For some trials, there is a chance you'll receive a placebo. Across Periprosthetic Joint Infection trials 30% of clinical trials have a placebo. Typically, you'll be required to check-in with the clinic every month or so. The average trial length for Periprosthetic Joint Infection is 12 months.

How do I participate in a study as a "healthy volunteer"?

Not all studies recruit healthy volunteers: usually, Phase 1 studies do. Participating as a healthy volunteer means you will go to a research facility several times over a few days or weeks to receive a dose of either the test treatment or a "placebo," which is a harmless substance that helps researchers compare results. You will have routine tests during these visits, and you'll be compensated for your time and travel, with the number of appointments and details varying by study.

What does the "phase" of a clinical trial mean?

The phase of a trial reveals what stage the drug is in to get approval for a specific condition. Phase 1 trials are the trials to collect safety data in humans. Phase 2 trials are those where the drug has some data showing safety in humans, but where further human data is needed on drug effectiveness. Phase 3 trials are in the final step before approval. The drug already has data showing both safety and effectiveness. As a general rule, Phase 3 trials are more promising than Phase 2, and Phase 2 trials are more promising than phase 1.

Do I need to be insured to participate in a Periprosthetic Joint Infection medical study?

Clinical trials are almost always free to participants, and so do not require insurance. The only exception here are trials focused on cancer, because only a small part of the typical treatment plan is actually experimental. For these cancer trials, participants typically need insurance to cover all the non-experimental components.

What are the newest Periprosthetic Joint Infection clinical trials?

Most recently, we added Condylar vs Stabilized Bearing for Knee Replacement, Phage Therapy for Periprosthetic Joint Infection and Bacteriophage Therapy for Prosthetic Hip Joint Infection to the Power online platform.
