A Randomized Controlled Trial of Alternating Irrigation of Vancomycin Hydrochloride and Tobramycin Sulfate in Patients Undergoing Two-Stage Exchange Arthroplasty for Periprosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) of the Hip or Knee
Study Type: A multi-site, parallel group, randomized trial. Study Objectives: The objective is to evaluate safety and determine preliminary efficacy of VT-X7 (Vancomycin and Tobramycin Exchanged over 7 Days). Efficacy is evaluated as superiority of the Experimental Arm in a composite endpoint of Overall Success at 90 days, consisting of a revision prosthesis implanted at Stage 2, patient survival, absence of reoperation and absence of periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). Secondary objectives are to evaluate superiority at 365 days in a composite endpoint of Overall Success, and in separate secondary endpoints for quality of life and patient survival. The exploratory objective is to compare Experimental and Control Arms in exploratory endpoints. Follow-up: Patients will be evaluated at 90-, 180-, and 365-day follow-up visits.
