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

BIOLOGICALPhage Therapy

Phage will be administered based on patient's matching results.

Performed per the study center's standard of care. No investigational products are used.
