Device added to knee infection surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This trial tests a device called the Sola2 AMF Knee System that is used during surgery to treat knee implant infections. It adds a special treatment to the usual cleaning and antibiotic therapy, aiming to improve outcomes.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 22 years of age or older.
- You have an infection in your knee replacement that started within the last 45 days.
- Your knee replacement is still firmly attached and working well.
- You are scheduled to have a procedure called DAIR (washing out the joint and replacing the plastic spacer) plus antibiotics.
- Your knee implant is on a specific list of approved devices, and the hospital has the implant label.
- You do not have certain other metal implants near the knee, a pacemaker, or other devices that cannot be removed.

This trial tests a new medicine called PLG0206 to help prevent a knee infection from coming back after a procedure to clean the joint while keeping the artificial knee in place. If you qualify, you'll receive the study medicine or a placebo along with standard antibiotics.
This trial tests different antibiotic types and durations, plus surgical approaches, for people with a current joint infection in a hip or knee. It aims to find the best way to treat the infection and prevent it from coming back.
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.
This study compares two antibiotic plans for acute (early) infections around an artificial knee or hip, using a procedure to clean the joint and try to keep the implant. It may help find the best approach to control infection and then prevent it from coming back with longer-term antibiotic treatment.
This trial studies how antibiotics reach the knee joint after a temporary antibiotic spacer is placed. It may help improve treatment for people having two-stage surgery for a knee prosthesis infection.
This trial compares two types of antibiotic spacers for people with a long-term knee replacement infection. It tests whether a spacer made entirely of antibiotic cement or one with a metal core works better to treat the infection before a new knee replacement.
