About this study

Official title: Randomized Open Label, Parallel Group, Controlled Study to Evaluate the Safety and Surgery Sparing Effect of Phage Therapy With Antibiotics for Patients With Prosthetic Joint Infections Who Are Candidates for Two Stage Exchange Arthroplasty

This is a study designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with chronic prosthetic joint infections.

Read the detailed description

This is a study designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with chronic prosthetic joint infections of the hip or knee caused by 1 or 2 of the following organisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Streptococcus sp., Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and/or Klebsiella pneumoniae.

This study will also compare the safety and efficacy of phage therapy in conjunction with antibiotics versus standard of care (SOC) two-stage exchange arthroplasty plus antibiotics.

Being tested
Phage Therapy, Two-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty
Keywords

What participants receive

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

  • Phage TherapyBiological

    Also called Antibiotics

    Phage will be administered based on patient's matching results.

  • Two-Stage Exchange ArthroplastyProcedure or surgery

    Also called Antibiotics

    Performed per the study center's standard of care. No investigational products are used.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Arm 1, Phage Therapy with Antibiotic TreatmentExperimentalPhage therapy will be administered in conjunction with antibiotic treatment.
Receives: Biological: Phage Therapy
Arm 2, Standard of CareActive comparatorTwo-stage exchange arthroplasty entails resection arthroplasty and placement of an antibiotic-loaded spacer, antibiotic therapy, an antibiotic-free observation period, and re-implantation of a new prosthesis.
Receives: Procedure: Two-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty

What is being measured

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

  1. Safety and tolerability of phage therapy

    Incidence and type of adverse events and infusion reactions

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 26

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Efficacy of phage therapy to prevent need for surgery in patients with hip/knee prosthetic joint infections.

    Proportion of phage-treated patients with no need for surgery by no evidence of a prosthetic joint infection.

    Measured: 6 weeks after completion of phage therapy

  2. Efficacy of phage therapy in hip joint functionality as assessed by hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome questionnaire score (HOOS).

    Time to reach minimum clinically important difference in hip dysfunction and osteoarthritis outcome score.

    Measured: Week 26

  3. Efficacy of phage therapy in knee joint functionality as assessed by knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome questionnaire score (KOOS).

    Time to reach minimum clinically important difference in knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score.

    Measured: Week 26

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Phage Therapy and Two-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty in people with Prosthetic Joint Infection, run by Adaptive Phage Therapeutics, Inc. 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?

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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Apr 2022. 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.

What does this combined phase mean?

Phase 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

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 and tolerability of phage therapy (time frame: Day 1 through Week 26). 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 4 Apr 2022.
