Antibiotic injection for knee or joint replacement infections
Treatments studied
This study tests a new antibiotic called TNP-2092 that is injected directly into the joint to treat infections that can happen after joint replacement surgery. It may help people who have had a joint replacement and are dealing with an infection that is hard to treat.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have an infection in a joint replacement that started within 3 months after surgery, or within 4 weeks of symptoms, or you have a long-term infection that needs ongoing antibiotics.
- The infection is suspected or confirmed to be caused by a type of bacteria called Gram-positive (like staph).
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- Your joint replacement is stable (not loose) and does not have a sinus tract (an opening from the joint to the skin).
- Your body mass index (BMI) is between 18 and 40.

This trial tests a new antibiotic, TNP-2092, given as a shot directly into the knee joint for people with a persistent infection after knee replacement. It is for those whose infection is caused by certain bacteria and who are willing to stay in the hospital for 2 weeks.
This trial tests a way to prevent infections for people getting a hip or knee replacement. It compares different methods to see which works best and may help lower your risk of infection after surgery.
This trial tests whether putting antibiotics directly inside the bone during surgery can improve outcomes for an infected knee prosthesis when the implant is being kept. It may help more people avoid needing full implant removal and replacement.
This trial tests whether giving antibiotics directly into the knee through a small tube can help clear an infection that develops after a knee replacement surgery. It aims to improve the success of a procedure called DAIR, which is used to treat early knee joint infections.
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 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.
