TRL1068 is expected to eliminate the pathogen-protecting biofilm in the prosthetic joint and surrounding tissue, thus making pathogens substantially more susceptible to established antibiotic treatment regimens. This Phase 2 study is designed to assess efficacy and safety of TRL1068 in combination with a DAIR (debridement, antibiotics, and implant retention) procedure for chronic prosthetic joint infections of the knee and hip, specifically, eliminating the need for the standard of care 2-stage exchange surgery, so that the original prosthesis can be retained.
Approximately 75% of all clinically significant human infections are estimated to be biofilm-related. Prosthetic joint infections are a classical example of difficult to eradicate infections associated with biofilm. Most Prosthetic Joint Infection (PJI) cases are caused by staphylococcal species (\~70%) with an increasing number being antibiotic-resistant (MRSA). In the US, two-stage revision is the standard of care for replacement of an infected prosthetic joint, and is associated with substantial costs and prolonged immobility. TRL1068 is a fully human antibody that has been shown in pre-clinical studies and in the first-in-human Phase 1 study TRL1068-101 to disrupt biofilm. TRL1068 targets a highly conserved epitope on the DNABII family of bacterial DNA binding proteins that includes histone-like (HU) and integration host factor (IHF) proteins of clinically relevant Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. The DNABII epitope bound by TRL1068 has no homologs in the human proteome.

Efficacy of TRL1068 in eliminating the need for an SoC 2-stage exchange arthroplasty
Incidence of resolved PJI, i.e., completion of planned surgical interventions for PJI (DAIR or 2-stage exchange arthroplasty), and not receiving systemic antibiotics for PJI or antibiotic suppression therapy for PJI or any other planned interventions to treat PJI by end of study.
Time frame: Day 365
Duration (days) with resolved PJI
Days after completion of planned surgical interventions for PJI (DAIR or 2-stage exchange arthroplasty) without receiving systemic antibiotics for PJI or antibiotic suppression therapy of PJI or any other planned interventions to treat PJI by end of study.
Time frame: Day 365
Incidence of recurrent PJI across treatment groups
Recurrent PJI will include PJI in which the causative pathogen of the recurrent PJI was not identified at baseline.
Time frame: Day 365
Incidence of PJI reinfection across treatment groups
Time frame: Day 365
Incidence, duration and severity of AEs or SAEs of secondary infections
Time frame: Day 365
Musculoskeletal Infection Society (MSIS) Scores
MSIS scores on Day 1, day of DAIR (Day 15 + 7 days) versus Day 1, day of first stage of SoC and EOS (Day 365) that are indicative of the presence of PJI. MSIS Minor Criteria score range is 0-12, above or equal to 6 is infected, 2-5 is possibly infected, 0-1 is not infected.
Time frame: Day 365
Quality of life PROMIS-PF Short Form 6b
Quality of life as measured by the Quality of Life (QoL) Questionnaire (PROMIS-PF Short Form 6b). Score range is 6-30, with higher scores indicating higher functioning.
Time frame: Day 365
Resource utilization: duration of hospitalization as a result of PJI, SoC or surgical wound infection
Time frame: Day 365
Resource utilization: need to stay in a rehabilitation center or other institution, e.g., nursing home as a result of PJI, SoC or surgical wound infection
Time frame: Day 365
Incidence, duration and severity of AEs and SAEs across treatment groups
abnormal vital signs and safety labs will be documented as adverse events.
