Cutibacterium Dermal Colonization: Implications for Total Hip Arthroplasty

NCT03849885 | Unknown Phase 4 FDA Drug

• 1 other identifier: 1378012
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 496
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

This study is being done to investigate the colonization rate(growth rate) of a particular type of low-virulence (does not typically cause infection) bacterium called Propionibacterium, more specifically P acnes, the same bacterium that is responsible for the majority of acne. Information affecting hip surgery is currently unknown.

Conditions

Degenerative Osteoarthritis

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Propionibacterium colinization rate on hips of healthy subjects

  The rate at which Propionibacterium could be isolated from the skin of healthy subjects at locations corresponding to both the direct anterior and posterior surgical approaches with and without intervention.

  Tissues samples taken at the time of surgery will be held for 14 days

Study Arms (2)

Standard Skin Prep

NO INTERVENTION

Patients will undergo a skin cleansing protocols using 4% Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) cloths. After the skin prep, three 3-mm punch (Acu-Punch, Acuderm, Fort Lauderdale, FL) skin biopsies will performed for both an anterior-based hypothetical incision, and for a more lateral/posterior incision, for a total of 6 biopsies taken per subject.

Experimental Skin Prep with BPO

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients will undergo a skin cleansing protocols using 4% Chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) cloths. Following the CHG wipes, patients will be prepped with 5% BPO gel applied directly to the biopsy site. After the skin prep, three 3-mm punch (Acu-Punch, Acuderm, Fort Lauderdale, FL) skin biopsies will performed for both an anterior-based hypothetical incision, and for a more lateral/posterior incision, for a total of 6 biopsies taken per subject.

Drug: Benzoyl peroxide gel

Interventions

Benzoyl peroxide gel DRUG

Skin prep with Chlorohexidine wipes and BPO.

Also known as: Acne Medication

Experimental Skin Prep with BPO

Eligibility Criteria

You may qualify if:

• Patients who are 18 to 79 85 years of age
• CJR primary joint arthroplasty patients who are receiving care at Porter Adventist Hospital
• CJR established primary knee or hip arthroplasty patients with a native hip joint (no replacement on the biopsy side) who volunteers as a research participant.
• CJR patients without a previous arthroplasty procedure who have established care with our practice.

You may not qualify if:

• Previous history of hip infection
• Current antibiotic use or antibiotic use within the past week
• Previous history of Cutibacterium joint infection
• Current immunodeficiency disease or disorder
• Patients with active psoriatic disease or other focal inflammation over the hip
• Previous total hip arthroplasty (bilateral for the case of TKA patients and healthy volunteers, contralateral for THA patients)
