Recruiting studies
- NCT03704766Recruiting
Testing fluid markers to detect pediatric joint infections
This study checks special lab markers in joint fluid to tell septic (infected) arthritis apart from other inflammatory causes in children. It may help clinicians detect infection more accurately and quickly so kids can get the right treatment.
Atlanta, GeorgiaAges Up to 17 years - NCT07388017Recruiting
Using infrared cameras to spot bone or joint infections in children
This study tests if a special camera that detects heat (infrared thermography) can help doctors quickly identify bone or joint infections in children. If successful, it could lead to faster, painless diagnosis without extra blood tests or scans.
Sheffield, South YorkshireAges birth–15 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 - 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 - 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.

Common questions
- Are there clinical trials for septic arthritis?
- Yes. Clin2 currently lists 5 recruiting septic arthritis 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 septic arthritis 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 septic arthritis 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.
