Trial design

CTIS Part I — objectives, methods, condition coding

Main objective

Scope: Prophylaxis

To investigate whether antibiotic impregnated bone graft (AIBG) decreases the risk of infection 2 years after hip arthroplasty, compared to controls treated with placebo impregnated bone graft.

Secondary objectives 4

  1. To investigate differences between the two experimental groups in time to and reason for reoperation for any reason within 2 and 5 years • time and reason for implant revision due to any reason within 2 and 5 years.
  2. To investigate differences between the two experimental groups in time to and reason for implant revision due to any reason within 2 and 5 years
  3. To investigate differences between the two experimental groups in the type of microorganism and antibiotic susceptability pattern in cases with postoperative infection.
  4. To evaluate the safety of using antibiotic impregnated bone graft (AIBG) as infection prophylaxis in hip arthroplasty.

1 Antibiotic Impregnated Bone Graft to reduce infection in hip replacement. The ABOGRAFT trial.
A pragmatic, phase II, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter drug trial.
Randomised Controlled Double [{"id":167919,"code":5,"name":"Carer"},{"id":167920,"code":1,"name":"Subject"},{"id":167918,"code":2,"name":"Investigator"},{"id":167921,"code":4,"name":"Analyst"}] Placebo impregnated bone graft: Morselized bone graft impregnated with 8ml NaCl.
Antibiotic impregnated bone graft: 8 ml of tobramycin (80mg/ml) are aspirated in a sterile syringe and used to dissolve 1g vancomycin powder from its ampule. The solution will be mixed with the morselized bone graft.

Endpoints

Primary and secondary outcome measures (English text)

Primary endpoints 1

Secondary endpoints 5

  1. Time and cause for reoperation for any reason within 2 and 5 years
  2. Time and cause for implant revision due to any reason within 2 and 5 years
  3. Type of microbe and antibiotic resistance pattern for cases complicated with postoperative infection
  4. Differences between the two experimental groups regarding the frequencies of adverse events
  5. Differences between the two experimental groups regarding the rates of revision due to aseptic loosening
