Chronically Infected Total Hip of Knee ProsthesisIPRONCT02651961

Cost-effectiveness Evaluation of One Stage Versus Two Stage Exchange for Chronically Infected Total Hip and Total Knee Prostheses

A study testing Exchange of total hip or knee arthroplasty on same time and Exchange of total hip or knee arthroplasty in two time in people with Chronically Infected Total Hip of Knee Prosthesis, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

Unknown status

Status not confirmed. The sponsor has not verified this record for over two years, so it may be out of date.

Trial summary

Chronic infection after total joint arthroplasty generally requires implant exchange. Two stage exchange is considered as the gold standard procedure. However, some authors suggest that one stage exchange may be as effective. No consensus exists in the current literature. Read more about this study

About this study

Chronic infection after total joint arthroplasty generally requires implant exchange. Two stage exchange is considered as the gold standard procedure. However, some authors suggest that one stage exchange may be as effective. No consensus exists in the current literature. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the cost of both strategies in comparison to their success rate.

Read the detailed description

The primary criterion will be the cost-utility ratio (ICER) at 12 months follow-up.

The secondary criteria will be:

  • quality of life;
  • pain;
  • persistence or recurrence of infection;
  • occurrence of complications ;
  • necessity for reoperation.

What participants receive

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

  • Exchange of total hip or knee arthroplasty on same timeProcedure or surgery

  • Exchange of total hip or knee arthroplasty in two timeProcedure or surgery

    Removal of the index implants in first time, extensive debridement, reimplantation of a new prosthesis in seconde time

What is being measured

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

  1. Cost-utility ratio (ICER)

    Measured: 12 months post-operative

Secondary outcomes (11)
  1. Quality of life : EQ-5D questionnaire

    Patient-reported generic (EQ-5D) outcomes questionnaire

    Measured: 12 months post-operative

  2. Pain : VAS score

    Patient-reported pain score with visual analogic scale

    Measured: 12 months post-operative

  3. Number of Persistence or recurrence of infection for all participants

    Measured: 24 months post-operative

  4. Occurrence of complications

    Measured: 24 months post-operative

  5. number of Necessity of reoperation for all patient

    necessity of reoperation will be assessed with clinical examination

    Measured: 12 months post-operative

  6. Operating time of all surgical procedures

    operating time is from time of entrance in the operating room to time of the end of intervention (hh:mm)

    Measured: procedure

  7. Duration of whole treatment

    Measured: 12 months post-operative

  8. Cost of complication treatment

    Measured: 12 months post-operative

  9. Cost of repeat surgery

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Exchange of total hip or knee arthroplasty on same time and Exchange of total hip or knee arthroplasty in two time in people with Chronically Infected Total Hip of Knee Prosthesis, run by University Hospital, Strasbourg, France at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 7 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: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 22 May 2018. 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 France. 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?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Hélène SOAVELO (+33388116559, helene.soavelo@chru-strasbourg.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Cost-utility ratio (ICER) (time frame: 12 months post-operative). 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 22 May 2018.
