Test and Evaluation of Non-Invasive Neuro-Assessment Devices (NINAD): NeuroKinetics, Inc, iPAS (NINADiPAS)

May 7, 2021 updated by: Paul Rapp, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences

The long term goal for the Traumatic Injury Research Program (TIRP) is testing of novel devices for the identification and longitudinal assessment of traumatic brain injury (TBI). The Department of Defense (DoD) has now tasked TIRP with the test and evaluation of these devices to assess reliability and validity. The objective of this effort is to test the reliability of the NeuroKinetics Inc (NKI), i-PAS (portable assessment system) device using a test/re-test protocol with healthy controls.

The basic research design adopted here is the test/re-test paradigm with three assessments obtained on three separate visits. This will allow the assessment of reliability of both the device and the measure(s) that are computed from the input signals. Participants will be Healthy Controls (HC) as defined in the inclusion exclusion section.

In this initial study we will be administering standardized self-report instruments ( Short Form - 36 (SF-36) and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90r)), standard three-lead electrocardiogram. In addition we will administer the NKI i-PAS specific protocol as delineated by NKI.

Study Overview

Status

Status

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

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 to 55 years (ADULT)

Study Population

Healthy control population

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female participants between 18 and 55 years old in good general health. Good general health is operationalized for the purpose of this study by scores within one standard deviation of the mean in all eight sections of the Short Form 36 (SF-36).

A normalized Global Severity Scale of less than or equal to 65 on the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised and subscale scores less than the cut scores indicating significant pathology.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • A TBI positive event as determined by the DVBIC (Defense and Veterans Brain Injury Center) Three Question Screening Tool.

Any history of seizures or CNS tumors

A normalized Global Severity Scale of more than 65 on the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised. Any subscale score indicating significant pathology

Scores greater than one standard deviation from the mean on all eight sections of the Short Form 36 (SF-36)

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reliability of NKI i-PAS signals across three separate visits
Time Frame: Three measures over Four weeks (First visit; Second visit 2-6 days later; Third visit 4 weeks after first visit
The NKI i-PAS device should provide similar signals each time a healthy control participant is tested.
Three measures over Four weeks (First visit; Second visit 2-6 days later; Third visit 4 weeks after first visit

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 (ACTUAL)

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.
February 22, 2018

Primary Completion (ANTICIPATED)

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.
