About this study

Official title: Preoperative Antibiotic Dosing for Total Knee Arthroplasty: Intraosseous Versus Systemic Infusion

To directly compare acute infection rates in patients undergoing total knee replacement with intraosseous regional administration or systemic intravenous administration of prophylactic antibiotics.

Read the detailed description

Subjects will be prospectively enrolled into the Intraosseous Regional Administration (IORA) group, and the investigators will use historical controls for the Systemic Intravenous Administration (SIA) group, to include a matched group of patients from 6 months prior to enrollment. SIA group will receive systemic dosing of cefazolin within one hour of the incision, which is the current standard of care. IORA group will receive intraosseous dosing after the tourniquet is inflated to 300-350mm/Hg. Cefazolin 1 gram will be given through an intraosseous cannula, placed into the medial aspect of the proximal tibia, after draping and before skin incision. The cefazolin will be administered as a bolus in 200 mL of normal saline. Incision will be made immediately after infusion. Subjects in both groups will receive routine care following the procedure. Primary outcome will be acute surgical site infection, which is defined as within 3 weeks after the surgical procedure. Secondary outcomes will include correlation of clinical comorbidities to the primary outcome, report complications, and compare surgery specific information (tourniquet time, blood loss).

Subjects with a penicillin allergy will receive a 200mg cefazolin test dose via a systemic intravenous route, which is the current standard of care. If no adverse reaction is observed, then the investigators will proceed with administration of 1g cefazolin via the intraosseus route.

Being tested
New Intraosseous, Cefazolin

What is being measured

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

  1. rate of acute surgical site infection

    Measured: defined as within 3 weeks after the surgical procedure

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. correlation of clinical comorbidities to acute infection rates

    Measured: 1 year post surgical intervention

  2. number of complications

    Measured: 1 year post surgical intervention

  3. tourniquet time

    Measured: during procedure, up to approximately 2.5 hours

  4. blood loss

    Measured: during procedure, up to approximately 2.5 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing New Intraosseous and Cefazolin in people with Acute Infection of Total Knee Replacement, run by Duke University at 1 site in United States.

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 1 inclusion and 4 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 28 Jul 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. 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.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

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?

rate of acute surgical site infection (time frame: defined as within 3 weeks after the surgical procedure). 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 28 Jul 2017.
