Safer antibiotics for people with beta-lactam allergies in joint replacement surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older
- You had a total knee, shoulder, or hip replacement at Strasbourg University Hospital in 2023
- Or you had surgery at that hospital from March to July 2025 that needed antibiotics during the operation
- Your surgery must involve putting in an implant (like an artificial joint)
- You must need antibiotics during your surgery

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.
This Phase 3 study tests whether giving a broad set of preventive antibiotics before certain high-risk orthopedic surgeries lowers the chance of serious wound or bone infection. It mainly targets people who have contaminated wounds, tumor-related surgery, or known high-risk germs on the skin.
This study is testing whether giving three different antibiotic combinations (instead of one) before surgery can better protect the good bacteria in your gut and reduce the chance of developing resistant bacteria. If you are having a joint replacement revision or similar surgery due to a suspected infection, participation might help improve how infections are treated.
This trial studies whether giving antibiotics before and/or after surgery can lower the chance of a serious joint infection after elective hip or knee replacement. It’s aimed at people at higher risk for infection.
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.
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.
