About this study

The purpose of this study is to establish a bacterial epidemiology in patients who present a prosthetic joint infection and for which a surgery is necessary. At the time of the first surgery, as the bacteria responsible for the infection are not known, a probabilistic antibiotherapy is initiated at once after the surgical treatment. The antibiotherapy is then adapted to the bacteria from samples collected during the surgery when they are identified (the delay is 14-21 days).

The study will focus on bacteria identified on samples collected during the surgery; the delay between the implantation of the prosthesis and the presentation of symptoms will be considered : more than one year vs. less than one year.

Investigators assume that there is not the same type of bacteria involved in those two cases of delays and that the probabilistic antibiotherapy may be not optimal when the symptoms are presented more than one year after implantation of the prosthesis. A probabilistic antibiotherapy not adapted lead to develop resistance for the bacteria and decrease the chance to cure the patient (increasing of relapse).

The result of this study will allow medical doctors to have an optimal probabilistic antibiotherapy, depending on the delay between implantation of the prosthesis and the presentation of the symptoms.

What is being measured

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

  1. identification of bacteria involved in patients with prosthetic joint infection

    The samples collected during the surgery are put in bacteriological culture media. Bacteriological culture of samples collected during surgery for all patients included is made allowing to identify which type of bacteria is involved in the infection, depending on the chronology of the infection (delay between implantation and the presentation of the symptoms [< 1 year vs. > 1 year])

    Measured: 3 weeks after the surgery

  2. collection of probabilistic antibiotic treatment in patients with prosthetic joint infection

    The type of molecule used and dosage will be described. Probabilistic antibiotic treatment is initiated immediately after the surgery, before the bacteria is identified. The samples are put in bacteriological culture media. The time to obtain results is usually 3 weeks maximum after the surgery because this is the delay for slow-growing bacteria to grow. Then, the empirical treatment can be amended in order to have an antibiotic treatment adapted to the bacteria found.

    Measured: the day of surgery

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. adverse events

    This secondary outcome will focus on severe adverse events induced by this probabilistic antibiotherapy.

    Measured: up to 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption

  2. Treatment failure

    Treatment failure is defined by local clinical and/or microbiological relapse; and/or need for additional surgery; death of septic origin

    Measured: up to 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Joint Infection, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon 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 1 inclusion and 1 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 24 Aug 2017. 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?

identification of bacteria involved in patients with prosthetic joint infection (time frame: 3 weeks after the surgery). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 24 Aug 2017.
