About this study

Official title: Physiopathology of Prosthetic Joint Infections : a Pilot Study

This study aim to explore cellular responses of bone and immune cells to bacterial infections observed in patients with prosthetic joint infections. The investigators will analyze clinical data and tissue samples collected from patients undergoing surgery as part of their usual care for prosthetic joint infections. These research will be conducted on three different hospitals in Paris: Lariboisière (AP-HP), Cochin (AP-HP) and Croix Saint-Simon.

Read the detailed description

The number of prosthetic joint infections (PJI) new cases in France is estimated at 2000/2500 cases per year. PJI, mainly caused by staphylococci, are serious infections responsible for significant morbidity result of inflammation and bone destruction (osteomyelitis). Despite optimal medical and surgical management, a risk of failure and recurrence exists, which varies depending on the situation.

In addition to the deterioration in patients' quality of life, the economic cost for the health care system is very high, in particular because of prolonged hospitalizations, complex treatments, and frequent readmissions. Thus, the adequate management of PJI is a major public health issue.

In this context, new therapeutic approaches are urgent medical needs for the management of patients with PJI.

Thus, the identification of the biological mechanisms (immunology, microbiology, bone physiology) underlying these infections is essential. Indeed, the impact of bacterial infections on bone homeostasis is poorly documented. Although several biological mechanisms have been suggested the host-pathogen interaction and the close links between bacterial infection and biological response of bone cells to microorganisms and their environment warrant to be explored.

What is being measured

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

  1. markers of bone loss

    Immunohistochemistry detection of Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase cells (TRAP); cathepsin K; Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9); sclerostin

    Measured: 12 months

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. markers of cellular activity in the bone microenvironment

    immunohistochemistry detection of nuclear factor-activated T cells c1 (NFATc1); Matrix Metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9); Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23)

    Measured: 12 months

  2. immune-profiling of bone microenvironment

    mapping lymphoid and myeloid cells by spectral flow cytometry assay

    Measured: 12 months

  3. inflammatory mediators in the bone microenvironment

    flow cytometry quantification of cytokine producing cells

    Measured: 12 months

  4. differentiation between osteoclasts from mononuclear phagocytes

    enzyme-linked immunosorbent (ELISA) and/or flow cytometry assays using specific antibodies

    Measured: 12 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Prosthetic-joint Infection, run by Assistance Publique - Hôpitaux de Paris 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 4 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 22 Sep 2022. 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 Martine COHEN-SOLAL, MD, PhD (+33(0)1 49 95 63 58, martine.cohen-solal@aphp.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

markers of bone loss (time frame: 12 months). 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 Sep 2022.
