Bacteriophage therapy for bone implant infections
Treatments studied
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study tests a treatment using bacteriophages (special viruses that kill bacteria) for infections that happen around metal implants in bones. It aims to see if this approach can safely clear these hard-to-treat infections.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests a treatment using viruses that attack bacteria to fight a chronic infection in a joint replacement. It might help people whose joint infection has not cleared up with standard antibiotics or surgery.
This trial tests a special treatment using viruses (called phages) that target and kill the bacteria causing a long-term joint replacement infection. It's designed for people who have tried many other treatments without success.
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 trial tests a new treatment using viruses that attack bacteria (called phages) to fight infections in knee or hip replacements caused by Staphylococcus aureus. It may help people who still have the infection after a surgery to clean the joint, called DAIR.
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.
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.
