Prosthetic joint infections: Understanding

Prosthetic joint infections: Overview

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI), also referred to as periprosthetic infection, is defined as an infection involving the joint prosthesis and adjacent tissue. The clinical manifestations of PJI vary depending upon the virulence of the organism, the mode of initiation of infection, the host immune response, the soft tissue structure surrounding the joint, and the joint involved.

Underlying the pathogenesis of prosthetic joint infection is the simple fact that prostheses are foreign bodies, and they can promote the formation of biofilm by several notable organisms. These organisms form communities in a hydrated polymeric matrix on implant surfaces and necrotic tissues. These bacterial aggregates, with their inherent resistance to antimicrobial agents, are the main culprits for prosthetic joint infection. Biofilm is a thin film of microorganism-embedded glycocalyx (exopolysaccharides), which often coats the surface of the prosthesis and creates a barrier against antimicrobial agents. Also, certain forms of Staphylococcus aureus, a notable player in prosthetic joint infections, may form small colony variants that often grow slowly and are associated with recurrent and difficult-to-treat infections. It takes four weeks for the maturation of biofilms. Sources of infection are: Haematogenous spread with the most commonly encountered foci (e.g., Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella, Escherichia coli, Streptococcus pneumonia, etc.) for infection along with the most commonly involved organisms, Direct spread through a route communicating the prosthesis and the outer environment e.g., Sinus tract or open periprosthetic fracture or Local spread from a nearby septic focus e.g., osteomyelitis or soft tissue infection.

The diagnosis of PJI is based upon a combination of clinical findings, laboratory results from peripheral blood and synovial fluid, microbiological data, histological evaluation of periprosthetic tissue, intraoperative inspection, and/or radiographic results. A missed prosthetic joint infection or one that is not treated appropriately can result in persistence of infection with deletarious consequences including disability and impaired quality of life. Treatment for PJI involves surgical intervention and medical therapy with an aim to eradicate the infection, restore pain-free function of the infected joint, and minimize PJI-related morbidity and mortality for the patient.

Prosthetic joint infections Emerging Drugs

• TNP 2092: TenNor Therapeutics

TNP-2092 is a triple-targeting drug candidate specifically engineered to address the critical unmet need in implant-associated biofilm infections. Its distinct mechanism of action synergistically inhibits bacterial RNA polymerase, DNA gyrase, and topoisomerase IV-a triple-targeting approach that not only confers potent activity against resistant pathogens, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) and Quinolone-resistant S. aureus (QRSA), but also drives an exceptionally low resistance frequency of <10. The US Food and Drug Administration has granted TNP-2092 Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP), Fast Track, and Orphan Drug designations for the treatment of PJI. Additionally, TNP-2092 received the Excellence Award at China's National Disruptive Technology Innovation Competition. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II stage of its development for the treatment of PJI.

• PLG0206: Peptilogics

PLG0206 acts against a broad range of bacteria including multi-drug-resistant pathogens, fits into existing surgical workflows, and offers low resistance potential. PLG0206 has received Qualified Infectious Disease Product (QIDP) designation, which provides five additional years of market exclusivity upon approval, as well as Orphan Drug and Fast Track designations from the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of Prosthetic Joint Infections (PJIs), reflecting the severity of the unmet need and the potential for an expedited path to market. Currently, the drug is in the Phase II/III stage of its development for the treatment of PJI.
