About this study

Official title: A Phase 2 Multicenter Feasibility Trial to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy in Patients Treated for Hip or Knee Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) With Alternating Irrigation of Vancomycin Hydrochloride (HCl) and Tobramycin Sulfate in Two-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty

Study Type

Prospective, single-arm, open-label, multicenter (3 to 5 sites), interventional trial.

Primary Study Objective

The objective of the study is to determine the safety profile of local antibiotic irrigation for the treatment of PJI.

Primary Outcome Measure

The overall safety profile is characterized by assessing the incidence of adverse events (AEs), serious adverse events (SAEs), suspected adverse reactions, adverse reactions, and unexpected adverse reactions.

Follow-up

Patients will be assessed for all measures at 3 weeks, 6 weeks, 12 weeks, and 12 months from initial surgery.

Being tested
vancomycin hydrochloride and tobramycin sulfate
Keywords
Hip, Knee, Biofilm, Minimum-biofilm-eradication-concentration

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing vancomycin hydrochloride and tobramycin sulfate in people with Prosthetic Joint Infection, run by Osteal Therapeutics, Inc. at 4 sites in United States.

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 5 inclusion and 20 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 11 Jan 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 sites in United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 9 Dec 2021). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Safety Evaluations: Number and Frequency of Adverse Events Among Participants (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 11 Jan 2022.
