Bacteriophage Therapy for Morganella Morganii Prosthetic Joint Infection

Sponsor: University of Calgary

Summary

This is a single-patient, phase I/II clinical trial that aims to evaluate the potential of a bacteriophage drug product to treat and prevent the recurrence of a Morganella morganii prosthetic joint infection of the hip. The patient has exhausted all conventional therapies, both surgical and medical, at considerable detriment to their quality of life. The treatment involves 2 intra-articular injections of bacteriophages into the joint and surrounding area and 14 days of intravenous phage therapy. The goal is to eliminate the infection and prevent further complications, providing a potential new treatment avenue for patients with difficult-to-treat infections.
