Brief summary
This is a study designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with chronic prosthetic joint infections.
Detailed description
This is a study designed to evaluate bacteriophage therapy in patients with chronic prosthetic joint infections of the hip or knee caused by 1 or 2 of the following organisms: Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus epidermidis, Staphylococcus lugdunensis, Streptococcus sp., Enterococcus faecium, Enterococcus faecalis, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and/or Klebsiella pneumoniae. This study will also compare the safety and efficacy of phage therapy in conjunction with antibiotics versus standard of care (SOC) two-stage exchange arthroplasty plus antibiotics.
Interventions
Phage will be administered based on patient's matching results.
Performed per the study center's standard of care. No investigational products are used.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Safety and tolerability of phage therapy | Day 1 through Week 26 | Incidence and type of adverse events and infusion reactions |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Efficacy of phage therapy to prevent need for surgery in patients with hip/knee prosthetic joint infections. | 6 weeks after completion of phage therapy | Proportion of phage-treated patients with no need for surgery by no evidence of a prosthetic joint infection. |
| Efficacy of phage therapy in hip joint functionality as assessed by hip disability and osteoarthritis outcome questionnaire score (HOOS). | Week 26 | Time to reach minimum clinically important difference in hip dysfunction and osteoarthritis outcome score. |
| Efficacy of phage therapy in knee joint functionality as assessed by knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome questionnaire score (KOOS). | Week 26 | Time to reach minimum clinically important difference in knee injury and osteoarthritis outcome score. |
