Antibiotic showdown: which strategy best protects gut health during implant infections?

NCT ID NCT07058415

What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting This study
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Details not published
The full record has not been published yet, so there is little to show here.
Status unknown
This status has not been confirmed recently, so it may be out of date.

Summary

This study compares three antibiotic combinations given to adults with suspected infections of joint or bone implants (like hip or knee replacements). The goal is to see how each antibiotic strategy changes the diversity of bacteria in the gut and whether it leads to more antibiotic-resistant germs. Researchers will collect stool samples before, during, and after treatment to track these changes.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
antibiotics (cefepime+daptomycin, piperacillin-tazobactam+daptomycin, or ceftobiprole)
What this could lead to
If one antibiotic strategy is found to better preserve gut bacteria and limit resistant germs, it could guide treatment choices for implant infections.
What could go wrong
This is a small, observational study that only looks at short-term changes in gut bacteria, not whether one antibiotic works better for curing the infection itself.

Study facts

What this study's own registry entry says, in plain language.

Phase

Not a phased trial

Phase numbers describe drug development. The registry uses this when they do not apply, as it does for trials of devices, procedures or behaviour changes, and for observational studies.

Participants

About 75 people

The number the study aims to enrol. It can still change while the study runs.

Expected to start

Jul 2026

An estimate. Start dates often move.

Expected to finish

May 2027

An estimate. End dates often move.

Lead sponsor

Other sponsor

The registry's catch-all category, for sponsors it does not file as a company, a government agency, or a research network.

Who can take part

This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.

Ages

18 years and older

Sex

Anyone

Healthy volunteers

Not accepted

This study is not open to healthy volunteers. The entry requirements below say who it is open to.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
