Clindamycin for strep knee or hip infections
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial looks at whether the antibiotic clindamycin works well for treating joint replacement infections caused by strep bacteria. It may help people who had surgery for an infected artificial joint between 2013 and 2024.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older at the time of your infection surgery
- You have a confirmed or likely infection of a joint replacement caused by strep bacteria
- You had surgery for the infection between 2013 and 2024 at a participating hospital
- You did not have the infected joint removed (resection or amputation)
- You did not take antibiotics for more than 6 months before your surgery

Other trials that look related to this one.
This trial tests a better way to choose antibiotics during joint replacement surgery for patients who are allergic to beta-lactams (a common class of antibiotics). The goal is to prevent infections while avoiding allergic reactions.
This study looks at whether a single surgery to replace a hip or knee joint is effective for infections caused by Candida fungus. It may help people who need a joint replacement due to this type of 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.
This study tests whether adding the antibiotic rifampicin to standard treatment works better than standard treatment alone for staph infections in hip or knee replacements. The goal is to find a more effective way to clear the infection and avoid more surgeries.
This trial tests whether adding clindamycin helps treat skin and soft-tissue infections caused by Staphylococcus aureus. You may be eligible if your infection was diagnosed recently and a sample was collected soon after hospital admission.
This trial compares taking antibiotics by mouth versus through an IV line for people who have an infection in their hip or knee replacement. The goal is to see if oral antibiotics work just as well as IV antibiotics after surgery to clean the infection.
