Multicenter Trial of Antibiotic Eluting Graft for Promoting New Bone Growth In/near Infected Bone Cavities
Elute, Inc.
Summary
This is a pivotal, prospective, multi-center, randomized, concurrent control, patient and assessor-blinded study with two arms: a treatment arm (where subjects will be treated with the EP Granules with Tobramycin investigational device in the 1st stage of a staged revision for periprosthetic joint infection (PJIs), and a control arm (where subjects are treated with the standard-of-care revision for infected PJIs).
Description
This is a pivotal, prospective, multi-center, randomized, concurrent control, patient and assessor-blinded study to demonstrate superiority of new bone growth and a reduction in recurring infections, and thereby improve outcomes for patients undergoing a staged revision for periprosthetic joint infections (PJIs). The standard of care for treatment of PJIs typically involves either a 2-stage revision or 1.5 stage revision which entails loss of bone stock resulting from debridement of infected bone in Stage 1. In the Stage 2 procedure, surgeons use metal cones to make up for this bone loss and…

Interventions
- DeviceEP Granules with Tobramycin
EP Granules with Tobramycin is a Ca-salt resorbable intended for orthopedic applications as a bone void filler for bone gaps or voids and in cases where risk of post-operative infection is high, such as the first stage of a 2-stage or 1.5 stage revision of an infected total joint.
