Trial summary

Chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of arthroplasty and its treatment continues to fuel the debate on how to manage it appropriately. One stage and two stage exchange surgery both are the conventional surgical procedures for chronic PJI commonly used to date. Read more about this study

About this study

Chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a devastating complication of arthroplasty and its treatment continues to fuel the debate on how to manage it appropriately.

One stage and two stage exchange surgery both are the conventional surgical procedures for chronic PJI commonly used to date.

Read more

Two stage surgery disadvantages (major surgery, anesthesia and nosocomial risks, functional impairment between surgeries and a high socio-economic coast) encouraged many surgical teams to adopt one stage exchange surgery which provides equivalent or better outcomes. However one stage surgery encounters a major conceptual difficulty when it comes to implant the new prosthesis in a surgical site microbiologically undetermined and potentially contaminated.

Investigators suppose the new prosthesis is implanted in a contaminated setting regardless of bacteria type and antibiotic therapy duration before arthroplasty.

The total lack of data answering this question motivated the conception of this prospective study in order to describe the microbiological setting where is implanted the new prosthesis with one stage exchange surgery after surgical excision and antibiotic therapy initiation in chronic PJI.

What is being measured

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

  1. The number of patients with positive per-operative sample culture after surgical excision and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation

    In routine care procedure for prosthetic joint infection (PJI), at least, five intraoperative samples are taken before debridement and prosthesis removal in order to identify the causative organism. For the purpose of this study three additional intraoperative samples will be performed after debridement and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation.

    Measured: 18 months

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Description of microbiological evolution of preoperative and perioperative samples before and after surgical excision.

    In routine care procedure for prosthetic joint infection (PJI), at least, five intraoperative samples are taken before debridement and prosthesis removal in order to identify the causative organism. For the purpose of this study three additional intraoperative samples will be performed after debridement and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation.

    Measured: 18 months

  2. Description of outcomes of perioperative sample culture after surgical excision according to the identified germ in culture before excision.

    In routine care procedure for prosthetic joint infection (PJI), at least, five intraoperative samples are taken before debridement and prosthesis removal in order to identify the causative organism. For the purpose of this study three additional intraoperative samples will be performed after debridement and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation.

    Measured: 18 months

  3. Description of outcomes of perioperative sample culture after surgical excision according to antibiotherapy duration from initiation until perioperative samples.

    In routine care procedure for prosthetic joint infection (PJI), at least, five intraoperative samples are taken before debridement and prosthesis removal in order to identify the causative organism. For the purpose of this study three additional intraoperative samples will be performed after debridement and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation.

    Measured: 18 months

  4. Description of outcomes of perioperative sample culture prior surgical excision in patients treated with preoperative antibiotherapy.

    In routine care procedure for prosthetic joint infection (PJI), at least, five intraoperative samples are taken before debridement and prosthesis removal in order to identify the causative organism. For the purpose of this study three additional intraoperative samples will be performed after debridement and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation.

    Measured: 18 months

  5. Description of outcomes of perioperative sample culture according to symptoms duration prior surgery.

    In routine care procedure for prosthetic joint infection (PJI), at least, five intraoperative samples are taken before debridement and prosthesis removal in order to identify the causative organism. For the purpose of this study three additional intraoperative samples will be performed after debridement and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation.

    Measured: 18 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing intraoperative samples in people with 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 6 inclusion and 5 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 Jul 2018. 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?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The number of patients with positive per-operative sample culture after surgical excision and antibiotic initiation and prior prosthesis implantation (time frame: 18 months). 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 30 Jul 2018.
