Recruiting studies
- 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 - NCT03713528Enrolling by invitationPhase 4
Antibiotic placed in bone to help save an infected knee implant
This trial tests whether putting antibiotics directly inside the bone during surgery can improve outcomes for an infected knee prosthesis when the implant is being kept. It may help more people avoid needing full implant removal and replacement.
San Francisco, CaliforniaAges 18 years+ - NCT07473089Recruiting
Swiss study on joint replacement revision for infection
This study looks at people who need a second (revision) surgery on a large joint replacement like a hip, knee, shoulder, ankle, or elbow because of a suspected or confirmed infection. The goal is to learn more about these infections and improve care.
AarauAges 18 years+ - NCT04672525RecruitingPhase 3
Rifabutin versus rifampicin for knee or hip staph implant infection
This Phase 3 trial compares two antibiotics—rifabutin and rifampicin—for treating staphylococcal (staph) infections around hip or knee joint implants when the implant is kept in place after cleaning (DAIR). It aims to see which drug works better to stop the infection from coming back.
AmiensAges 18 years+ - NCT06889701RecruitingPhase 1/Phase 2
Testing TNP-2092 for knee infection after joint replacement
This trial tests a new antibiotic, TNP-2092, given as a shot directly into the knee joint for people with a persistent infection after knee replacement. It is for those whose infection is caused by certain bacteria and who are willing to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks.
Ürümqi, XinjiangAges 18 years+ - NCT05936593Recruiting
Compare two knee implant positions during robotic knee replacement
This study compares how a knee implant’s components “fit” and move when placed in two different ways during robotic knee replacement. It uses special imaging to see which placement works best for stability and long-term performance.
Zoetermeer, South HollandAges 18–70 - NCT05805774Recruiting
Compare fixing versus replacing a fractured thigh bone
This study looks at the best surgical option for an acute (new) fracture of the lower thigh bone near a stable knee replacement. It compares surgery that “fixes” the bone versus surgery that “replaces” part of the bone to help you walk again safely.
Toronto, OntarioAges 65 years+ - NCT06952738Recruiting
Studying bacteria around hip or knee fracture repairs
This trial looks for bacteria around the implant in patients who need surgery for a broken bone near a hip or knee replacement. It aims to learn if these infections affect healing.
Chicago, IllinoisAges 18 years+

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for prosthetic joint infection?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 32 recruiting prosthetic joint infection 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 prosthetic joint infection 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 prosthetic joint infection 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.
