Trial summary

The primary objective of this study is to assess the diagnostic efficacy of the quantitative electrochemical LE biosensor for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The secondary objective of this study is to assess the utility of d-lactase as adjunct biomarker to LE in making a diagnosis of PJI. Read more about this study

Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: This will be a prospective study with consecutive revision joint surgery patients determined to be in one of three groups: 1) patients undergoing revision joint replacement for presumed aseptic loosening, 2) patients undergoing irrigation and debridement with implant retention, and 3) patients undergoing two stage revision for infection. We will also recruit a small number of patients undergoing primary joint replacement (Jefferson hospital only).

Who may be able to join

  • 1: consecutive patients undergoing at least one of the following procedures: presumed aseptic revision arthroplasty, irrigation and debridement, radical resection for periprosthetic joint infection

Who cannot join

  • known active gout flare
  • existing corrosion or metallosis
  • inflammatory arthritis
  • preexisting diagnosis of infection in the same joint
  • patients undergoing second-stage procedure for infection.

About this study

Official title: A Research Study to Determine if a Leukocyte Esterase Electrochemical Assay Can be Used as a Marker for Periprosthetic Joint Infection

The primary objective of this study is to assess the diagnostic efficacy of the quantitative electrochemical LE biosensor for periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). The secondary objective of this study is to assess the utility of d-lactase as adjunct biomarker to LE in making a diagnosis of PJI.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • leukocyte esterase electrochemical assayDiagnostic test

    A sample of blood drawn for routine standard of care laboratory assessments will be used to also test the new electrochemical assay. This is a validation study and the results of the electrochemical assay will not be used to treat patients

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prosthetic Joint Infection, run by Rothman Institute Orthopaedics at 1 site 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 1 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 23 Sep 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 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.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

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

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Receiver Operating Curve (ROC) analysis (time frame: 20 minutes). 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 23 Sep 2020.
