Bacteriophage Therapy in Patients With Prosthetic Joint Infections

Phase 1
Withdrawn
Conditions
Prosthetic Joint Infection
Interventions
Biological: Phage Therapy
Procedure: Two-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty
Registration Number
NCT04787250
Lead Sponsor
Adaptive Phage Therapeutics, Inc.
Brief Summary

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

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.

Arm 1, Phage Therapy with Antibiotic TreatmentPhage TherapyPhage therapy will be administered in conjunction with antibiotic treatment.
Arm 2, Standard of CareTwo-Stage Exchange ArthroplastyTwo-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.
