Bacteriophage Therapy for Staphylococcus Lugdunensis Prosthetic Joint Infection

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 Staphylococcus lugdunensis 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.

Bacteriophage for Chronic Multidrug-Resistant Mycobacterium Abscessus Subsp. Abscessus Pulmonary Infection

The objective of this study is to evaluate mycobacteriophage therapy using in-vitro validated mycobacteriophage DP-QB-MYA-002 in combination with conventional antimycobacterial agents for the treatment of multidrug-resistant Mycobacterium abscessus pulmonary disease, with the goal of reducing mycobacterial burden and improving pulmonary outcomes.

Mayo Clinic Phage Program Biobank

The purpose of this study is to help scientists and clinicians discover answers to research questions related to antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections, and the role that phage therapy plays as a possible treatment.
