Musculoskeletal Infection clinical trials

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.

Bacteriophage Therapy for Difficult-to-treat Infections: the Implementation of a Multidisciplinary Phage Task Force

PHAGEFORCE

Start date: June 1, 2021
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

PHAGEFORCE is a prospective, observational registry study. The University Hospitals Leuven has approved the application of phage therapy as standard-of-care only in patients for whom no curative treatment alternatives (antibiotic and/or surgical) are available ('last-resort cases'). A multidisciplinary phage task force, referred to as the Coordination group for Bacteriophage therapy Leuven (CBL) was set up. The CBL screens patients with difficult-to-treat infections, evaluates who could benefit from phage therapy and sets up the treatment protocol. With this study, the CBL aims to gain insight in the safety and efficacy of phage therapy by integrating and optimizing phage therapy in five distinct medical disciplines (with distinct routes of administration), facilitating long-term follow-up of patients. Furthermore, this study will gain insight in the biodistribution and exact mechanisms of action of phage therapy and thus be able to provide standardized guidelines for each patient population and route of administration.
