Clinical Trial Summary

This proposal aims to investigate a novel light-based treatment to reduce morbidity in shoulder surgical patients. This has potential to improve outcomes and reduce health care utilization associated with infectious complications of shoulder arthroplasty. Participants will be healthy male volunteers at least 18 years of age. They will be on study for approximately 2 days.


Clinical Trial Description

Participants will have two study visits (consent plus treatment and swabs for culture). These visits will be conducted at the main UW Hospital, UW Health at the American Center, or UW Health at 1 S. Park. All visits will be conducted in reserved conference rooms at each location. Once a subject is determined to be eligible and has consented to the study, they will be randomized into one of three treatment groups. Study team has blank envelopes that contain one of the three treatment groups enclosed. After a subject consents to the study, the study team will randomly draw an envelope to assign a treatment arm. Arm 1. One group will receive 5% topical benzoyl peroxide gel plus 2% chlorhexidine gluconate with 70% isopropyl alcohol Arm 2. One group will receive blue light therapy plus 2% chlorhexidine gluconate with 70% isopropyl alcohol Arm 3. One group will receive both of the above treatments All participants will have their contralateral shoulder serve as the control (2% chlorhexidine gluconate with 70% isopropyl alcohol only). All treatment will be provided by the study team. Participants will also be asked to complete a research intake form. If C. acnes does grow for a tissue culture, Investigators plan to bank a colony of the bacterium for potential use in a future study. There will be no added risk to research subjects as no additional cultures will be taken and samples will be completely anonymized. The banked samples will simply be a colony of growth from the culture media for storage for possible future use. Samples will be banked for 5 years from the date of study completion after which time the samples will be destroyed. ;
