About this study

Official title: The Use of Silver Doped Calcium Phosphate Based Ceramic Coated Orthopedic Implants for Preventing Implant Related Infection

In this study, CE (European Conformity) marked, domestic manufactured standard orthopedic implants will be used after silver HA coating with electrospray method in 30 patients requiring hip joint prostheses, intramedullary nails or external fixator in 30 patients to antimicrobial effectiveness. These patients will be tasted for liver and kidney functions and blood and urine silver levels in addition to routine tests such as full blood, complete biochemistry, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate required in the normal diagnosis and treatment processes,

Read the detailed description

In this study, considering the differences in bone contact surface area and interactions; hip joint prostheses, intramedullary nails and external fixator implants to be used in 30 patients . CE (European Conformity) marked, domestic manufactured standard orthopedic implants will be used in patients after silver HA coating with electrospray method. These patients will be tasted for the evaluation of liver and kidney functions and blood and urine silver levels in addition to routine tests such as full blood, complete biochemistry, C-reactive protein, erythrocyte sedimentation rate required in the normal diagnosis and treatment processes, and will be monitored for at least 12 months. The performance of coating to be applied and any unwanted side effects in normal conditions of use will be evaluated..

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Silver doped hydroxyapatite coated implants in people with Implant Site Infection and Implant Infection, run by Eskisehir Osmangazi University at 1 site in Turkey (Türkiye).

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 4 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 22 Jul 2020. 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 Turkey (Türkiye). 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?

Number of pin site with positive culture resuls (time frame: 12 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 22 Jul 2020.
