Recruiting studies
- 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+ - NCT04725422Recruiting

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+ - 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+ - 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 - NCT04805164Recruiting
Gentamicin bone paste to treat stubborn long-bone bone infection

AmiensAges 18–80 - NCT07270380Recruiting
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+ - 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+ - 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+ - NCT06010433Recruiting
CERAMENT G treatment tracking study
This study tracks how well the CERAMENT G device works for people getting it as part of their treatment. It helps doctors gather real-world safety and effectiveness information.
San Diego, CaliforniaAges 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+ - 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+ - NCT07627282Recruiting
Understanding spine care evolution and patient outcomes
This study follows patients visiting a spine surgery department to better understand how care is provided and how patients do over time. It helps doctors improve treatment for spine problems like degeneration, deformity, injury, infection, or tumors.
BordeauxAges 18 years+ - 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 - NCT07391995Recruiting
New test for germs in diabetic foot bone infections
This study tests a new device that quickly identifies the germs in foot wounds of people with diabetes and bone infections. It may help doctors choose the right antibiotic faster.
Nîmes, GardAges Any age - 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 - NCT06827496Recruiting
Starting with oral antibiotics for kids' bone and joint infections
This study tests if starting treatment for uncomplicated bone or joint infections in children with oral (by mouth) antibiotics is effective. It focuses on kids who are not severely ill and do not have certain risk factors, and who can begin oral antibiotics right away or after a short course of IV (intravenous) antibiotics.
Copenhagen ØAges 3 months–17 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 - 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+ - NCT07056881Recruiting
Single vs Combination Antibiotics for Pseudomonas Bone Infections
This trial compares using one antibiotic alone versus a combination of two antibiotics to treat bone infections caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The goal is to see which approach works better for treating the infection.
Saint-Denis, FranceAges 18 years+ - NCT01793168Recruiting
Rare disease registry and history study
This study keeps a registry (a structured list) of people with rare diseases and may also track how the condition changes over time. It can help researchers better understand rare illnesses and find gaps in care, which may improve future treatments.
Sioux Falls, South DakotaAges Any age - 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 - 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+ - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for osteomyelitis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 29 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.
