Bacteriophage Therapy for Implant Infections
Treatments studied
Part of Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests whether specially designed viruses (bacteriophages) can treat infections around orthopedic implants like joint replacements or bone hardware. Bacteriophages are natural virus-like particles that attack bacteria, and this study evaluates whether they are safe and effective when given to patients with hard-to-treat implant infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You can receive treatment through an intravenous (IV) line, or another feasible way to receive the therapy
- You are willing and able to follow all study procedures and appointments

This trial tests a virus-based treatment (bacteriophage) for a chronic joint infection caused by a specific bacteria that hasn't responded to other treatments.
This trial tests a virus-based treatment for a chronic hip or knee implant infection caused by a hard-to-treat bacteria. It is designed as a single-patient study that may help when standard treatments have failed.
This study tests a treatment using viruses (phages) that kill staph bacteria in people with an infected hip or knee replacement. The treatment is given after a surgery to clean the joint, and the goal is to see if it's safe and effective.
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 study checks the safety of using phage therapy (viruses that target certain bacteria) in adults being treated for serious infections. If you meet the safety rules, your care team may enroll you to help confirm phage treatment is safe.
This study tests a new treatment called a phage cocktail (viruses that kill bacteria) for skin infections caused by bacteria that don't respond well to regular antibiotics. The treatment is applied directly to the wound to see if it's safe and effective.
