About this study

Official title: Prospective Cohort of Patients With Prosthetic Joint Infection

Management of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) is a challenging task. These infections include different clinical and microbiological settings calling upon various treatment strategies according to infection type (acute or chronic), bone quality, the involved micro-organism and the patient's general condition and willing.

Treatment of PJI combines surgery and prolonged antibiotic therapy. In some patients with a high operative risk prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy can be used.

Lack of large prospective studies motivated the conception of this cohort with a long term follow up, regardless to PJI management procedures.

Read the detailed description

Large prospective cohort study in a French referral center for bone and joint infections.

Population

  • all patients who consented to participate in the study with PJI treated with:
  • debridement-synovectomy for acute infection
  • with one-stage, two-stage exchange arthroplasty for chronic infection
  • other procedures (complete removal of the prosthesis) and antibiotic therapy
  • patients (non-operated or operated) receiving prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy

Outcome:

  • Follow-up at least 2 years
  • Events monitored: reinfection including relapse and new infection, joint revision for mechanical failure, PJI related or non-related death Study duration: 10 years. Recruitment period: 4 years. Maximal duration of data collection: 6 years. Investigator center: monocenter study. Mean patient inclusion per year: 100 patients per year.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Number of patients with hip and knee prosthetic joint reinfection (relapse and new infection) and multi-variable analysis of reinfection risk factors

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Assessment of joint function at one, two, four and 6 years after prosthesis revision with one or two stage exchange arthroplasty.

    Measured: 1, 2, 4, 6 years

  2. Assessment of mechanical failure rate six years after prosthesis revision with one or two stage exchange arthroplasty

    Measured: 6 years

  3. Assessment of treatment failure rate in patients with hip and knee PJI 2 years after prolonged suppressive antibiotic therapy in non-operated patients.

    Measured: 2 years

  4. Assessment of reinfection rate of shoulder PJI two years after prosthesis revision with one or two stage exchange arthroplasty.

    Measured: 2 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prosthetic Joint Infection, run by Groupe Hospitalier Diaconesses Croix Saint-Simon at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 17 inclusion and 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: looking for participants now, as of the sponsor's last update on 29 Mar 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact YOUNES KERROUMI, Doctorate ((+33) 1 64 44 33 84, ykerroumi@hopital-dcss.org), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Number of patients with hip and knee prosthetic joint reinfection (relapse and new infection) and multi-variable analysis of reinfection risk factors (time frame: 2 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 29 Mar 2022.
