Dietary Supplement: Oral PCA
Registration Number
NCT06591741
Lead Sponsor
Dr. Dean Reeves Clinic
Brief Summary

Determine if dietary protocatechuic acid (PCA) will affect health biomarkers in patient undergoing revision surgery for a knee prosthetic joint infection

Detailed Description

Patients who are scheduled to undergo revision surgery for a knee prosthetic joint infection are given PCA prior to surgery for a time period determined by a previous pilot study. PCA is then post-operatively until anticoagulation is stopped, and then will be resumed for four years post revision surgery. Measurement of changes in glucose control, immunity, will be measured over the first 3 months post-revision, and the post-revision reinfection rate over the full 4 years will be compared to a cohort rate
