Study of rifampin levels in patients with bone or joint staph infections
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Infections clinical trials.
This study looks at how the antibiotic rifampin behaves in the body when used to treat staph infections in bones or joints. It may help doctors better dose the drug for future patients.

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 study measures how much of the antibiotic delafloxacin reaches your blood and tissues when you are being treated for a skin, soft tissue, or bone/joint infection. The goal is to make sure the drug is working effectively at the site of infection, which could help improve treatment for future patients.
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.
This Phase 3 trial compares two antibiotics—rifabutin and rifampicin—for treating staphylococcal (staph) infections around hip or knee joint implants when the implant is kept in place after cleaning (DAIR). It aims to see which drug works better to stop the infection from coming back.
This trial tests whether adding a medicine called probenecid to your regular amoxicillin treatment keeps the antibiotic working longer in your body for bone or joint infections. If eligible, you'll stay in the hospital for a few days while the study team closely monitors your treatment.
This study tests whether adding rifampin to standard antibiotics works better for people with a staph infection in a joint replacement. It aims to find a more effective treatment for this type of infection.
