Preventing repeat knee infection after joint-saving surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a new medicine called PLG0206 to help prevent a knee infection from coming back after a procedure to clean the joint while keeping the artificial knee in place. If you qualify, you'll receive the study medicine or a placebo along with standard antibiotics.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 85 years old.
- You have a suspected or confirmed infection in your artificial knee joint.
- The artificial knee is firmly in place and the surrounding tissue is in good condition (no open sinus tract).
- You are planning to have a single DAIR procedure (clean out the joint, keep the implant, and use antibiotics).
- If you could become pregnant, you agree to use birth control during the trial.
- You are not expected to need antibiotics for more than 6 months after the procedure.

This trial tests whether taking probiotics can help prevent another infection in people who have had a hip or knee replacement that became infected. If you are scheduled for revision surgery due to an infection, this study may be a good fit.
This study follows people who have an infection around a hip, knee, or shoulder implant (prosthesis). It uses standard infection tests (like cultures and blood tests) to confirm the diagnosis and better understand this problem after surgery.
This study tests if taking probiotics before and after surgery can help your immune system fight infection in a hip or knee replacement. You would be given a probiotic or a placebo alongside your standard treatment.
This study compares two antibiotic plans for acute (early) infections around an artificial knee or hip, using a procedure to clean the joint and try to keep the implant. It may help find the best approach to control infection and then prevent it from coming back with longer-term antibiotic treatment.
This trial tests if a contrast agent used in ultrasound can help surgeons see pockets of infection around knee implants during revision surgery. It may help doctors do a better job cleaning out the infection.
This study tests whether adding a treatment with special viruses (called phages) to standard antibiotic care can help clear a joint infection more effectively after surgery. The goal is to improve your chances of keeping the artificial hip or knee and avoid the need for more procedures.
