项目摘要

PROJECT SUMMARY Total joint arthroplasty (TJA) procedures are estimated to rise by over 300% by the year 2030. Periprosthetic joint infection (PJI) is the most significant complication following TJA with healthcare costs exceeding $1.6 billion annually. Treatment of PJI generally requires surgical intervention combined with a prolonged course of antibiotics costing $50,000 per patient. Despite this aggressive treatment, treatment is only successful in half of patients. The leading cause of treatment failure in PJI is the formation of protective bacterial biofilms or communities of bacteria encased within an extracellular matrix which are tolerant to commercially available antibiotics. We have discovered that platelet-rich plasma (PRP) displays both antibacterial and antibiofilm properties. Nevertheless, there is tremendous variability in the literature on the clinical efficacy of PRP. To overcome this variability, we have developed a PRP-derived biologic that is specifically formulated with high antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory activity with little to no lot-to-lot variability, termed BIO-PLY™. In an equine model of native joint infection, BIO-PLY™ not only decreased intraarticular bacterial load but also dampened inflammation and protected venerable cartilage from damage. In this proposal, we will capitalize on the equine model of native joint infection to manufacture a human equivalent and evaluate the safety and efficacy of human BIO-PLY™ using established in vitro and in vivo models of PJI. The goal of this proposal is to generate the key data necessary for a go/no-go decision to advance BIO-PLY™ toward a Phase II pre-clinical animal model and an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the Federal Drug Administration.

项目概要预计到 2030 年，全关节置换术 (TJA) 手术将增加 300% 以上。关节感染 (PJI) 是 TJA 后最严重的并发症，医疗费用超过 16 亿美元每年一次的 PJI 治疗通常需要手术干预和长期疗程。尽管采用了这种积极的治疗方法，但每位患者的抗生素治疗费用仅为 50,000 美元。 PJI 治疗失败的主要原因是保护性细菌生物膜或细菌的形成。包裹在细胞外基质内的细菌群落，能够耐受市售的细菌我们发现富含血小板的血浆（PRP）具有抗菌和抗生物膜作用。然而，关于 PRP 临床疗效的文献存在巨大差异。为了克服这种变异性，我们开发了一种 PRP 衍生的生物制剂，该生物制剂采用高浓度专门配制而成。抗菌和抗炎活性，批次间差异很小或没有，称为 BIO-PLY™。在天然关节感染模型中，BIO-PLY™ 不仅减少了关节内细菌负荷，而且还抑制了炎症并保护古老的软骨免受损伤在这项提案中，我们将利用马。天然关节感染模型，用于制造人类等效物并评估人类的安全性和有效性 BIO-PLY™ 使用已建立的 PJI 体外和体内模型该提案的目标是生成密钥。为将 BIO-PLY™ 推向 II 期临床前动物模型而做出进行/不进行决策所需的数据，以及向联邦药物管理局提交研究性新药 (IND) 申请。
