Single-stage Surgery With Antibiotic-loaded Hydrogel Coated Implants Versus Two Stage Surgery for Secondary Prevention of Complex Chronic Periprosthetic Hip Joint Infection (SINBIOSE-H)

Recruiting
Clinical Trial NCT04251377 (SINBIOSE-H) is an interventional study for Hip Prosthesis Infection that is recruiting. It started on 30 September 2021 with plans to enroll 440 participants. Led by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Saint Etienne, it is expected to complete by 1 December 2026. The latest data from ClinicalTrials.gov was last updated on 8 April 2025.
Brief Summary
Each year, around 1500 infected Total Hip Arthroplasties (THA) need non-conservative surgery, remaining an issue for patients and healthcare units. The recommended treatment, relying on cohort reviews and international consensus follows a two-stage protocol. This protocol implies a first surgery to remove all infected implants and at least 6 weeks of antibiotic treatment without implant, then usually an antibiotic-free period and only then a second surgery to put back new implants and start the rehabilitation protocol, with usually more than a week of a second hospital stay. Between both surgeries, full-weight bearing is prohibited and joint stiffness and/or pain are rather usual complications. Failure rate is estimated at 10% in this two-stage strategy. The single-stage procedure (i.e. implanting back a new prosthesis during the same surgery after implant removal, synovectomy and lavage) is thought to be less susceptible to late functional complications (i.e. pain, stiffness and muscle deficiency) with a shorter, single hospital stay.

Although, with single-stage surgery, infection control could be less efficient because most pathogens produce during the first hours of infection an antibiotic-resistant layer called biofilm, allowing them to colonize and adhere to foreign objects like implants. This single-surgery protocol thus highly relies on antibiotics and has a list of contra-indications (based on experts' consensus): the presence of damaged soft tissues or a sinus tract, unknown pathogens, difficult to treat micro-organisms, severe immunosuppression and for many surgeons, each time a bone graft is necessary. Most of these contra-indications are directly related to the biofilm.

As no randomized control trial has ever compared single-stage versus two-stage surgery, the level of evidence for recommending one procedure over the other is low.

We conducted a survey that showed that most of the French reference centers have already switched to single stage surgery for single-stage non contra-indicated cases.

An antibiotic-loaded hydrogel coating (Defensive Antiadhesive Coating®, Novagenit SRL), has been proven to mechanically prevent the biofilm formation, while allowing a prolonged intraarticular antibiotic release, in a randomized controlled trial in primary prevention of infection in THA.

The addition of this biofilm inhibitor to a single-stage surgery might stand as a promising strategy for secondary prevention of peri-prosthetic hip joint infection. Moreover, using this device to prevent biofilm formation could expand one stage surgery to patients that are "normally" contra-indicated to one stage surgery.

Arms / Interventions
Participant Group/ArmIntervention/Treatment
ExperimentalSingle-stage surgery + DAC® + topical antibiotics
Experimental group is composed of single-stage procedure associated to the use of biofilm inhibitor (Defensive Antibacterial Coating® DAC®) and topical antibiotics=new strategy
Defensive Antiadhesive Coating DAC®, Novagenit SRL
DAC gel, mixed with topical antibiotics is applied on the surface of the implants before implantation, in a sterile environment in the operating room. The topical antibiotics will be added to the reconstituted DAC® gel preparation, at the discretion of the physician, on the basis of pre-operative culture.
No Interventioncontrol group : two-stage surgery
Control group is composed of two-stage procedure without biofilm inhibitor (standard protocol)
