Recruiting studies
- NCT04725422Recruiting
Registry for children with nonbacterial bone inflammation
This study collects medical information (and imaging results) from children and teens with nonbacterial bone inflammation. It may help doctors better understand how this condition looks on scans and how it’s diagnosed, especially to rule out infection or cancer.
Seattle, WashingtonAges Up to 21 years - NCT06250023Recruiting
Oral antibiotics for spinal infection treatment
This trial tests whether oral antibiotics, taken as pills, work as well as IV antibiotics for treating spinal infections. It may be an option if your infection is already improving with a short course of IV antibiotics.
CopenhagenAges 18 years+ - NCT07266753RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing oral antibiotics for leg and foot bone infections
This trial compares two common types of oral antibiotics to see which works better for bone infections below the knee. If you have a bone infection that needs at least 28 more days of treatment and you can take pills, this study may help find the best option for you.
Ottawa, OntarioAges 18 years+ - NCT04805164Recruiting
Gentamicin bone paste to treat stubborn long-bone bone infection

Antibiotic device for bone infection in the arms or legs
This trial tests a dissolvable antibiotic implant placed during surgery to treat long-standing bone infections (osteomyelitis) that haven't healed with antibiotics alone. It may help people who need surgery to remove infected bone.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT05713149Recruiting
Treating pressure sores with surgery and anti-bacterial medicines
This study looks at whether combining a surgical skin flap with anti-bacterial treatment can improve pressure sores that are complicated by bone infection (osteomyelitis). It targets adults who have nerve/movement problems that put them at high risk for these sores.
GarchesAges 18 years+ - NCT06283979RecruitingPhase 2
Antibiotic bone filler vs standard care for infected pressure ulcers
This trial tests a special antibiotic bone filler (STIMULAN VG) compared to standard care for people with a serious pressure ulcer that has infected the bone. You need to be able to have surgery to clean and close the wound.
Phoenix, ArizonaAges 18 years+ - NCT06388603Recruiting
Bioactive glass for diabetic foot bone infection in the forefoot
This trial tests a special glass material (bioactive glass S53P4) placed into the bone after surgery to treat a diabetic foot infection in the forefoot. It may help heal the infection better than standard care.
Monfalcone, GoriziaAges 18–100 - NCT06555848Recruiting
Testing a new antibiotic bone filler for chronic bone infection surgery
This study is testing whether the CERAMENT G bone filler can help treat chronic bone infections (osteomyelitis) when doctors remove the infected bone in a single surgery. It is for people who have had symptoms for at least six months and need the bone gap filled after surgery.
OxfordAges 18 years+ - NCT07788404Recruiting
Study of rifampin levels in patients with bone or joint staph infections
This study looks at how the antibiotic rifampin behaves in the body when used to treat staph infections in bones or joints. It may help doctors better dose the drug for future patients.
Paris, ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT05421741RecruitingPhase 4
Antibiotic-coated nail to help prevent infection
This trial studies a special nail for certain broken shin bones to lower the chance of infection after surgery. If you qualify, the study team will help you receive the antibiotic-coated nail and will follow you closely for about a year.
Gainesville, FloridaAges 18 years+ - NCT07177378Enrolling by invitation
Double flap closure for jaw bone damage from medication
This trial tests a surgical technique using a double tissue flap to close the jawbone in patients with medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ). The goal is to improve healing and reduce complications.
TantaAges Any age - NCT07483853Recruiting
MRI scoring test for chronic bone inflammation in children
This study checks if a new MRI scoring system can reliably measure bone inflammation in children with a rare bone disease called CRMO. The goal is to improve how doctors monitor the disease.
BolognaAges Up to 32 years - NCT06982105RecruitingPhase 4
Comparing two antibiotics for children with MRSA bone or head infections
This study compares two oral antibiotics, TMP-SMX and clindamycin, to see which works better for children with MRSA infections in bones, joints, or head/neck areas. It aims to find the best treatment after initial IV therapy.
Indianapolis, IndianaAges 2 months–18 years - NCT07057817Recruiting
Using Cerament for heel infections to save the leg
This trial tests a special bone filler called Cerament to treat heel bone infections in people with diabetes, aiming to avoid leg amputation. It may help heal the bone after partial heel removal surgery.
GalwayAges 18 years+ - NCT02979951Recruiting
IV fosfomycin for serious bacterial infections
This trial studies whether IV (through a vein) fosfomycin can treat severe bacterial infections in adults. It may help people whose infection is covered by the standard fosfomycin use and who need hospital-level care.
Hall in TirolAges 18 years+ - NCT03594344Recruiting
Extra hyperbaric oxygen after leg amputation wounds heal
This study tests whether giving extra treatments with hyperbaric (pressure) oxygen after a leg amputation can improve healing or recovery. It’s meant for people whose amputation happened due to long-lasting infection or poor blood flow and who can attend follow-up visits.
OsloAges 18–90 - NCT04538053RecruitingPhase 4
Simpler antibiotics for uncomplicated bone and joint infections in children
This trial looks at whether a simpler antibiotic plan can work for children with uncomplicated bone or joint infections that start in the community. It may help reduce the need for complicated treatment while still keeping the infection under control.
Kingswood, New South WalesAges 1–18 - NCT05607888Recruiting
Study of treatment for sinus and skull-base tumors
This study looks at how doctors manage tumors that start in the nose/sinuses and spread to the skull base. It may help improve planning of care for people with this specific type and location of tumor.
Ljubljana, LjubljanaAges Any age - NCT05766670RecruitingPhase 3
Calcium and antibiotic placed inside tibia nail for open fractures
This Phase 3 study tests whether a calcium/antibiotic “depot” released from an intramedullary nail can lower infection risk in certain open tibia fractures. It may help by delivering antibiotics right at the fracture area while the nail fixes the bone.
Los Angeles, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT06066801Recruiting
Bedside bone biopsy for diabetic foot infection
This trial is testing a new way to take a small sample of infected bone from the foot of people with diabetes. It aims to see if a bedside biopsy is safe and accurate for diagnosing bone infection, so you may avoid more invasive procedures.
ParisAges 18 years+ - NCT06418048Recruiting
Infectious disease registry and biobank trial
This study collects medical information and optional biological samples (like blood or saliva) from people with an active or suspected infection. The goal is to build a large database that can help researchers better understand infectious diseases and develop new ways to diagnose and treat them.
MilanAges 18 years+ - NCT06598241Recruiting
Bioactive glass fiber study for diabetic foot ulcers
This study tests a special glass fiber material (BBFGM) placed on diabetic foot ulcers to help them heal. It is for people with diabetes who have a foot wound that hasn't healed in 4 weeks to 2 years, is a certain size, and may involve deeper tissue or bone.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for osteomyelitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 30 recruiting osteomyelitis studies from the U.S. registry, each rewritten for real people, not researchers, so you can see what it’s testing and who it’s for.
- How do I know if I qualify for a osteomyelitis trial?
- Each study lists its eligibility criteria — rules about age, diagnosis, and prior treatments. On every Clin2 trial page we explain these in words written for real people and offer a short, optional pre-screen for a fit read. The study team makes the final decision.
- Does it cost anything to join a osteomyelitis trial?
- Using Clin2 is always free. Many trials cover the cost of the study treatment and related visits; some reimburse travel. The study team explains exactly what’s covered before you decide.
