About this study

This is a prospective multicenter study. All patients presenting for revision hip or knee arthroplasty for all indications under the respective surgeon's care may be eligible. Per standard of care preoperatively, all patients must have blood drawn for erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR), C-reactive protein(CRP) and D-dimer. Aspiration of the joint in question may be performed at the discretion of the treating surgeon and results documented. Intraoperative samples will also be collected and sent for NGS analysis

Read the detailed description

Pre-operative D-dimer testing should be performed if this is in keeping with the local institutional standard of care. Otherwise, D-dimer testing will be omitted from the pre-operative panel of tests collected.

NGS results will be made available to the Investigator. Treatment will remain within keeping with the Investigator's standard of care. NGS results may be used at the discretion of the treating surgeon in guiding patient treatment.

What is being measured

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

  1. NextGeneration Sequencing analysis concordance with Muskuloskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria for defining infection

    MSIS criteria incorporates pre-operative laboratory values with tissue and fluid samples collected during surgery in an attempt to diagnose infection

    Measured: Immediate post-operative period (usually within 5 days following surgery)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prosthetic Joint Infection, run by Rothman Institute Orthopaedics 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 2 inclusion and 1 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 12 Oct 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.

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?

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?

NextGeneration Sequencing analysis concordance with Muskuloskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) criteria for defining infection (time frame: Immediate post-operative period (usually within 5 days following 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 12 Oct 2017.
