About this study

Official title: An Open-Label Multicenter Study to Evaluate the Safety and Efficacy of PhageBank™ Phage Therapy in Conjunction With Debridement, Antibiotics, and Implant Retention (DAIR) for Patients With First Time Culture Proven Chronic Prosthetic Joint Infection

This study will test the feasibility of a regimen of intraoperative (IO) and intravenous (IV) PhageBank™ bacteriophage therapy in conjunction with a DAIR procedure to cure chronic prosthetic joint infection (PJI) without replacement of the prosthesis.

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 spp., Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and/or Klebsiella pneumoniae.

This study will compare the safety and efficacy of phage therapy in conjunction with standard of care antibiotics and a DAIR procedure.

What participants receive

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

  • Phage TherapyBiological

    Patient will undergo a DAIR procedure. After the DAIR, phage therapy will be administered in conjunction with antibiotic treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. To evaluate safety and tolerability of phage therapy in adult patients undergoing DAIR for first time chronic prosthetic knee or hip infection

    Incidence of reactions to study treatment and discontinuation due to adverse events

    Measured: Day 1 through Week 24

  2. Treatment success

    No recurrence or evidence of infection with the original pathogen at the same joint

    Measured: 13 months after DAIR

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. No recurrence or evidence of infection for any reason

    Infection due to the original or different pathogen at the index site

    Measured: 3, 6, 13, or 24 months after DAIR

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1/2 study testing Phage Therapy in people with Prosthetic Joint Infection and Bacterial Infections, run by Adaptive Phage Therapeutics, Inc..

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 17 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: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 Feb 2024. 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.

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?

To evaluate safety and tolerability of phage therapy in adult patients undergoing DAIR for first time chronic prosthetic knee or hip infection (time frame: Day 1 through Week 24). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. 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 Feb 2024.
