EVALUATION OF BIOMARKERS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY EXTENSION STUDY (ALERT-TBIx)

August 7, 2017 updated by: Banyan Biomarkers, Inc

A PROSPECTIVE CLINICAL EVALUATION OF BIOMARKERS OF TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY EXTENSION STUDY

The primary objective of this study is to evaluate Ubiquitin C-terminal Hydrolase-L1 (UCH-L1) and Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein (GFAP) biomarker levels in a population of CT-positive subjects (as determined by an independent Neuroimaging Review Committee) presenting acutely with traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score 9-15).

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Subjects eligible for study participation will be over the age of 18 with a standard of care head CT that has been confirmed to be CT-positive for acute intracranial lesions based on the local neuroradiologist's review and can undergo blood draw within 12 hours of head injury. Subjects who will be permitted into the study include those who will meet all the inclusion criteria and will have none of the exclusion criteria.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • The Subject is at least 18 years of age at screening.
  • The Subject has presented to a Health Care Facility (HCF) or Emergency Department (ED) with a suspected traumatically induced head injury, as a result of insult to the head from an external force.
  • A Glasgow Coma Scale score of 9-15 at the time of Informed Consent.
  • The subject is CT-positive for acute intracranial lesion(s) based on the local neuroradiologist's review of the subject's head CT scan.
  • The CT scan and CT report used to determine eligibility must be available.
  • The blood sample is collected as close to the time of head injury as possible, but no later than 12 hours.
  • The Subject or their legal representative is willing to undergo the Informed Consent process prior to enrollment into this study

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Participating in an interventional, therapeutic clinical study that may affect the results of this study (an observational study would be acceptable).
  • Time of injury cannot be determined.
  • Primary diagnosis of ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke.
  • Venipuncture not feasible (i.e., skin integrity compromised at the venipuncture sites, blood vessel calcification (i.e., IV drug users, advanced atherosclerosis) both upper limbs missing (congenital or amputee)).
  • The subject has a neurodegenerative disease or other neurological disorder including dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, seizure disorder, or brain tumors.
  • The subject has a history of neurosurgery within the last 30 days.
  • Administration of blood transfusion after head injury and prior to the study blood draw.
  • The subject is a female who is pregnant or lactating.
  • The Subject is otherwise determined by the Investigator to be an unsuitable candidate for participation. If this criterion applies, a reason must be provided

Study record dates

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
June 1, 2015

Primary Completion (Actual)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.

Study Completion (Actual)

Study Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention/treatment to collect final data for the primary outcome measures, secondary outcome measures, and adverse events (that is, the last participant's last visit). The "anticipated" study completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the study completion date.
