Information source: 3M
ClinicalTrials.gov processed this data on August 23, 2015 Link to the current ClinicalTrials.gov record.
Condition(s) targeted: Surgical Site Infection
Intervention: mupirocin calcium ointment, 2% (Drug); Povidone-iodine solution 5% w/w (0.5% available iodine) Patient Preoperative Skin Preparation (Drug)
Phase: Phase 4
Status: Completed
Sponsored by: 3M Official(s) and/or principal investigator(s): Michael Phillips, MD, Principal Investigator, Affiliation: NYU Langone Center
Summary
We hypothesize the application of mupirocin or povidone-iodine to the nares is equally
effective in short term Staphylococcus aureus(SA)suppression. Our overall study objective
is to measure the rate of deep and superficial Surgical Site Infections (SSIs) after primary
hip, knee, shoulder and elbow arthroplasty surgery and primary spinal fusion surgery
requiring implantation of prosthetic material, when the patient receives either nasal
mupirocin or nasal povidone-iodine prior to surgery.
Secondary study objectives include:
1. Measure hospital length of stay and re-admission rates in the mupirocin and
povidone-iodine groups.
2. Measure adverse events related to mupirocin and povidone-iodine.
3. Measure rate of SA resistance to mupirocin.
Clinical Details
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Single Blind (Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Prevention

Secondary outcome: Measure Hospital Length of Stay and Re-admission Rates in the Mupirocin and Povidone-iodine Groups.Measure Adverse Events Related to Mupirocin and Povidone-iodine. Measure Rate of Staphylococcus Aureus Resistance to Mupirocin.
