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.

The goal of this study is to measure bacterial burden, specifically Staph aureus, and how it spreads between mothers and their infants. Researchers will evaluate if the amount of bacteria on their skin remains the same after mothers use a skin antisepsis treatment prior to delivering their infants. The investigators also aim to assess participant interest in and compliance with skin antisepsis treatments. The hypothesis is that increased maternal interest will align with increased treatment compliance.

Surgical site infections (SSIs) make about 31% of all nosocomial infections and they are the most common hospital-acquired infection. For foot and ankle elective interventions, SSI rate is reported between 0.4% and 3.6%. This study will investigate the effectiveness of skin cleaning with isopropyl alcohol and scrubbing with chlorhexidine soap before standard skin preparation in reducing microbial load and surgical site infections for elective foot and ankle surgeries. Current standard of care includes skin preparation with iodine or chlorhexidine solution prior to sterile draping and the start of surgery. Standard of care will be applied to all patients. The use of an additional "pre-scrub" with isopropyl alcohol and scrubbing with chlorhexidine soap will be applied to the experimental group. The control group will receive only the standard of care skin preparation with iodine or chlorhexidine solution prior to draping.

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of 0.05% Chlorhexidine Gluconate (CGH) bladder instillations in an outpatient setting at the time of suprapubic catheter (SPC) exchange in patients with history of recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI). The main questions are: 1. is instillation of 150mL of CGH for five-minute duration at the time of SPC exchange feasible in an outpatient setting and tolerable for patients. 2. does this protocol decrease the rate of unplanned health care visits and improve patient quality of life. Patients will undergo the treatment protocol during their routine suprapubic catheter exchanges.

Indigenous persons experience a high burden of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) invasive disease and skin and soft tissue infections. SA carriage on the skin is factor for development of SA infections. The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate a community-informed approach to reduce carriage of SA. Participants will be assigned to education and household supplies for prevention of SA with and without a biomedical intervention. Researchers will compare SA carriage in the two groups.

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

"My orthopedist recommended a half replacement of my right knee. I have had both hips replaced. Currently have arthritis in knee, shoulder, and thumb. I want to avoid surgery, and I'm open-minded about trying a trial before using surgery as a last resort."

"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 changed my diet in 2020 and I’ve lost 95 pounds from my highest weight (283). I am 5’3”, female, and now 188. I still have a 33 BMI. I've been doing research on alternative approaches to continue my progress, which brought me here to consider clinical trials."

"I've tried several different SSRIs over the past 23 years with no luck. Some of these new treatments seem interesting... haven't tried anything like them before. I really hope that one could work."

"As a healthy volunteer, I like to participate in as many trials as I'm able to. It's a good way to help research and earn money."

Frequently Asked Questions

How much do 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 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 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 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 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 clinical trials ?
Most recently, we added Chlorhexidine Gluconate for Infection Prevention in Shoulder Surgery, Skin Treatment for Bacterial Colonization and Infection Prophylaxis for Joint Replacement to the Power online platform.
