Antibiotic graft to help bone regrow in infected knee surgery areas
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests an antibiotic “graft” placed into or near infected bone cavities around a knee replacement (TKA) to help new bone grow. You may be considered if you have an infected knee implant area and can safely take part in follow-up visits and treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are age 22 or older (men and women can join)
- You have a known infection related to a total knee replacement (TKA)
- You are expected to live at least 1 year and can make required follow-up visits
- Your medical team believes the soft tissue around the bone can cover and protect the area
- You can sign the consent form yourself (or otherwise meet legal consent rules)
- Kidney function is not severely reduced (eGFR must be 50 or higher) and you are not on dialysis

Other trials that look related to this one.
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.
This trial tests whether adding antibiotics to the bone graft used during hip replacement surgery can lower the risk of infection. It may help people who need a bone graft as part of their hip replacement.
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.
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.
This trial tests how different antibiotic combinations affect the bacteria in your gut and the risk of infection with hard-to-treat bacteria. It is for people who need surgery for a joint replacement or bone infection.
This trial is for adults having their first knee replacement surgery. It tests a special part (tibial extension) of a common knee implant system. Researchers will follow participants over time to see how well it works.
