Trial summary

The results found in the literature do not allow to define objectively the indications respective for a one-step or a two-step exchange of prosthetic joint. Some criteria could help to decide for one-step exchange or two-step exchange: bacteria is/are identified, profile of the bacteria, anesthetic difficulties,.. Read more about this study

About this study

The results found in the literature do not allow to define objectively the indications respective for a one-step or a two-step exchange of prosthetic joint. Some criteria could help to decide for one-step exchange or two-step exchange: bacteria is/are identified, profile of the bacteria, anesthetic difficulties,..

A puncture could allow to identify the bacteria involved in the prosthetic joint infection (PJI) and an antibiotherapy for a few days can be given to the patient in order to decrease the inoculum. Then, a one-step exchange can be performed.

The purpose of this study is to describe the management of patients who had a pre-treatment before a one-step exchange of their prosthetic joint.

What is being measured

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

  1. bacterial epidemiology

    This outcome will describe the bacterial epidemiology identified with a punction, the antibiotherapy used for pre-treatment, the characteristics of patients and the PJI.

    Measured: at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption)

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Treatment failure

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

    Measured: at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Exchange of Prosthetic Joint and Prosthetic Joint Infection, run by Hospices Civils de Lyon.

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 2 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 22 Mar 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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?

bacterial epidemiology (time frame: at the end of follow-up (usually between 12 and 24 months after antibiotic therapy disruption)). 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 Mar 2018.
