Study Summary

This trial is testing a new drug to see if it can make it easier to treat infections in people with artificial joints. The goal is to show that the drug can help a lot of people with this infection.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for adults with knee or hip prosthetic joint infections who are scheduled for a two-stage exchange arthroplasty, have a BMI under 40, and can follow the study plan. They must not have other active infections, recent cancers, autoimmune diseases, uncontrolled diabetes, significant heart or liver issues, drug/alcohol abuse history or be immunocompromised.Check my eligibility
What is being tested?
TRL1068 is being tested to see if it can break down biofilms protecting pathogens in infected joints making them more vulnerable to antibiotics. This first study looks at its safety and how the body processes it. The aim is to help patients keep their original prosthetic joint or successfully replace it.See study design
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects of TRL1068 aren't listed here as this is an initial study assessing safety and PK; generally monoclonal antibodies may cause allergic reactions, infusion-related symptoms like fever or chills, possible organ inflammation and increased infection risk.
