Objective Brain Function Assessment of mTBI/Concussion (CAS13-25)

May 22, 2019 updated by: BrainScope Company, Inc.

Objective Brain Function Assessment of mTBI From Initial Injury to Rehabilitation in Concussion

This study (Part 3) is designed to build a database including EEG, neurocognitive performance, clinical symptoms, history and other relevant data, which will be used to derive a multimodal EEG based algorithm for the identification of concussion and tracking of recovery.

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.

Detailed Description

Injured/concussed subjects will be studied at time of injury, and at 3 follow-up time points following injury. Subjects will come from the sports and other populations of concussed individuals. They will be matched with controls i.e. not head injured subjects who will also undergo the same set of tests and the same time intervals as the injured subjects. An additional pool of uninjured (not head injured) subjects will be collected who will be assessed at a single time point. This data will be used to populate a database for the purpose of deriving a multimodal concussion index.

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

13 years to 25 years (Child, Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Approximately 490 Injured, Matched Control and Healthy Volunteer subjects will be recruited from high schools, college universities, concussion clinics and emergency rooms.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

For Injured subjects:

  1. Having sustained a traumatic closed head injury within 72 hours (3 days) from time of injury at time of BrainScope assessment;
  2. GCS 13-15 at time of BrainScope assessment;
  3. No hospital admission due to either head injury or collateral injuries for >24 hours.

For Matched Controls:

  1. GCS 15 at time of BrainScope assessment;
  2. No prior history of concussion or TBI in the last year.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Previously enrolled in the BrainScope CAS Studies;
  2. Current CNS active prescription medications taken daily, with the exception of medications being taken for the treatment of Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD);
  3. Forehead, scalp or skull abnormalities that prevents headset application or EEG data collection;
  4. History of brain surgery or neurological disease;
  5. Pregnant women;
  6. Subjects who do not speak English (non-English speaking parents are allowed to consent so long as translation of the consent form in their native language is available);
  7. Acute intoxication;
  8. Evidence of illicit drug usage;

For Injured subjects:

  1. Loss of consciousness ≥ 20 minutes related to the concussion injury;
  2. Active fever defined as greater than 100ºF or 37.78ºC at time of BrainScope assessment;
  3. Evidence of abnormality visible on Computerized Tomography (CT) of the head related to the traumatic event (Note: neuroimaging is not required for enrollment).

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
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.
Injured and Matched Control Subject Pool
Injured subjects consist of subjects who are head injured and meet the inclusion/exclusion criteria. Injured subjects will be tested within 72 hours (3 days) of injury and at specified time points post injury. Matched control subjects will be tested at the same time intervals as the injured subject. BrainScope Battery will be performed at each time point and consists of the following components: brain electrical activity (EEG), neurocognitive performance assessment, ocular motor assessment, and clinical symptoms/assessments.
Device: BrainScope Ahead 300iP
The BrainScope Battery evaluation will consist of 4 tests to aid in the assessment of concussion: History, Physical, signs and symptoms (SAC, SCAT5), Electrophysiological Function; Neurocognitive Performance Assessment and Ocular Motor Assessment. BrainScope Ahead 300iP will be used to perform EEG and Cognitive assessments.
Healthy Volunteer Subject Pool
This subject pool will consist of uninjured (not head injured) subjects and will be tested at a single time point. These subjects will perform the same BrainScope Battery as the injured and matched control subjects.
Device: BrainScope Ahead 300iP
The BrainScope Battery evaluation will consist of 4 tests to aid in the assessment of concussion: History, Physical, signs and symptoms (SAC, SCAT5), Electrophysiological Function; Neurocognitive Performance Assessment and Ocular Motor Assessment. BrainScope Ahead 300iP will be used to perform EEG and Cognitive assessments.

What is the study measuring?

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
Derivation of algorithm for Likelihood of being concussed using multimodal inputs
Time Frame: 6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP
Create a database of all assessments including brain electrical activity (EEG features including all frequency bands and measures (power, connectivity,complexity), neurocognitive performance tests scores (throughput measures), balance, and clinical/symptom assessments (SCAT5), to support derivation of a multimodal brain function/concussion index. (NOTE: All EEG and Neurocognitive features are expressed as z-scores relative to age expected normal values to enable combination)
