Biomarkers of Mild and Moderate Traumatic Brain Injury

August 7, 2017 updated by: Banyan Biomarkers, Inc
The purpose of this study is to assess if putative brain injury biomarkers have utility as blood-based traumatic brain injury (TBI) diagnostic and monitoring tools. This will be accomplished by examining the relationships between potential serum-based TBI biomarkers and clinical measures of injury severity, occurrence of complications, and outcome, in subjects with mild or moderate TBI. The assay will be evaluated in a sample population of subjects over the age of 18 who have been referred to the health care provider for closed head injury evaluation.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. At least 18 years of age and no more than 80 years of age.
  2. Closed injury to the head within 4 hours from symptom onset.
