About this study

  • To demonstrate the tests' performance when compared to the detection of PJI using the Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria-based definition of PJI for diagnosing PJI.1 This criteria-based definition of PJI places emphasis on culture techniques that identify pathogens, but also provides for minor criteria that can be used to diagnose PJI;
  • To calculate the tests' clinical sensitivity, clinical specificity, positive predictive value (PPV), and negative predictive value (NPV).
Read the detailed description

A major disadvantage of the MSIS criteria-based definition of PJI is that two of the essential criteria, tissue culture and histological analysis, are only available after surgery. In cases where the surgical samples are critical for the diagnosis of infection, the physician may need to adjust his or her treatment post operatively for the patient based on the treatment provided. The availability of a preoperative test that correlates well with the MSIS criteria could improve patient care. Currently, when a clinician is suspicious of PJI due to pain or failure of an arthroplasty, it is considered the standard-of-care to request blood and synovial fluid tests to begin the process of diagnosing infection. A synovial fluid test for PJI that correlates with the final MSIS definition could be requested at this early preoperative stage of the diagnostic process.

Synovasure® PJI ELISA Test is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended as an adjunct for the detection of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in synovial fluid from patients being evaluated for revision surgery. Synovasure® PJI ELISA Test utilizes a test that measures biomarkers, alpha-defensins 1-3, in the synovial fluid of joints that are infected. Synovasure® PJI ELISA Test results are intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical and diagnostic findings to aid in a patient's diagnosis of infection.

Synovasure® PJI Lateral Flow Test is a qualitative in vitro diagnostic device intended as an adjunct for the detection of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) in synovial fluid from patients being evaluated for revision surgery. Synovasure® PJI Lateral Flow Test utilizes a test that measures biomarkers, alpha-defensins 1-3, in the synovial fluid of joints that are infected. Synovasure® PJI Lateral Flow Test results are intended to be used in conjunction with other clinical and diagnostic findings to aid in a patient's diagnosis of infection.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of laboratory results and physical findings required to diagnose PJI

    The clinical endpoint for the study is Adjudication Panel evaluation of the laboratory results and physical findings required to diagnose PJI. There are two major criteria, and five minor criteria in the MSIS definition of PJI. The existence of one positive major criterion is sufficient for the diagnosis of PJI. Similarly, the existence of any three of the five positive minor criteria is considered sufficient for the diagnosis of PJI.

    Measured: Outcome is measured at time of aspiration and again at time of revision surgery.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Periprosthetic Joint Infection, run by CD Diagnostics 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 7 inclusion and 8 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 16 Aug 2016. 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.

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?

Each site lists its own contact: choose the nearest one under Trial locations. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of laboratory results and physical findings required to diagnose PJI (time frame: Outcome is measured at time of aspiration and again at time of revision surgery.). 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 16 Aug 2016.
