What participants receive

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

  • Intrawound administration of vancomycin after closure of the arthrotomyProcedure or surgery

    After closure of the arthrotomy, 1 g of vancomycin powder suspended in 30ml of normal saline was injected directly into the joint with an 18-gauge needle.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Intrawound administration of vancomycin after closure of the arthrotomy in people with Knee Osteoarthritis, run by The Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University at 1 site in China.

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 3 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in China. 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?

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?

Intra-articular vancomycin concentration (time frame: 2 hours, 8 hours and 24 hours postoperatively). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT05338021, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 19 Jan 2023.
