A trial of PLG0206 to prevent knee joint infection after surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests if a new drug called PLG0206 can stop a knee joint infection from coming back after a surgery called DAIR. DAIR cleans the infected area and keeps the artificial knee in place, and this study wants to see if adding PLG0206 helps prevent the infection from returning.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

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 trial uses advanced molecular methods to better diagnose infections in hip or knee replacement joints. The goal is to find infections more accurately so you can get the right treatment sooner.
This study tests whether giving antibiotics directly into the knee through a small tube after a cleaning surgery (DAIR) can better treat an infection around a knee replacement. It is for people who still have their original knee implant and are having this specific surgery.
This trial studies a new treatment using viruses (phages) that target specific bacteria. If you have a hip or knee joint infection caused by a single type of bacteria (Staph aureus or Pseudomonas) and are having a surgery to clean the joint, this trial may be an option for you.
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.
