StaphVAX Immunogenicity in Orthopedic Implant Patients

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Staphylococcal Infections
Joint Prosthesis
Interventions
Biological: S. aureus Type 5 & 8 Capsular Polysaccharide Conjugate
Biological: placebo
Registration Number
NCT00211926
Lead Sponsor
Nabi Biopharmaceuticals
Brief Summary

S. aureus is the most common pathogen involved in prosthetic joint infection. StaphVAX® is a vaccine to prevent these infections, which conjugates the purified capsular polysaccharides of S. aureus to a carrier protein. It is currently being evaluated for future licensing. This study aims to demonstrate the safety and immunogenicity of a single dose of StaphVAX in patients who are candidates for knee or hip arthroplasty.
