Ketamine, SGB and Combination Treatment for TBI-associated Headache or PTSD
Multi-Center, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Trial Comparing Ketamine, Stellate Ganglion Blocks and Combination Treatment to Sham Therapies for Traumatic Brain Injury-Associated Headaches and Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury (TBI) with associated headache are amongst the most common injuries sustained by our deployed forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as in more recent conflicts in Eastern Europe and the Middle East. This study aims to determine whether a procedural intervention (stellate ganglion block (SGB)) or medication (ketamine), alone or in combination, can alleviate PTSD and TBI-associated headache. Determining efficacious treatments in a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter study trial may improve quality of life in those with TBI and PTSD, and identifying factors associated with treatment outcome (personalized medicine) may enhance selection, thereby improving the risk: benefit and cost-effectiveness ratios.
Primary Objectives:
- To determine the efficacy of SGB and ketamine infusion as stand-alone treatments for TBI-related headache;
- To determine the efficacy of SGB and ketamine infusion as stand-alone treatments for PTSD;
- To determine the comparative effectiveness of SGB and ketamine infusion, and the effect of combination treatment on TBI-related headache and PTSD;
- Exploratory Aim 1: To determine the effects of SGB, ketamine infusion, and the combination on structural and functional MRI, biomarker levels and pain thresholds and tolerance;
- Exploratory Aim 2: To identify factors associated with treatment responders overall and for individual treatment groups.
Secondary Objectives:
- Exploratory Aim 1: To determine the effects of SGB, ketamine infusion, and the combination on structural and functional MRI, biomarker levels and pain thresholds and tolerance (Biomedical levels and MRI not included at Northwestern University Site).
- Exploratory Aim 2: To identify factors associated with treatment responders overall and for individual treatment groups.
Study Overview
Status
Detailed Description
This is a multicenter randomized, double-blind (subject, evaluator) placebo-controlled parallel-group clinical trial where 175 eligible subjects will be randomized into 1 of 4 groups (described below) using a 2:2:2:1 ratio. The purpose of the trial is to test the efficacy and comparative effectiveness of SGB and ketamine infusion on PTSD and post-traumatic headache. There are no reliably effective treatments for either PTSD or TBI-associated headaches, with preliminary and/or conflicting results suggesting efficacy for both SGB and ketamine for both conditions.
The first three groups will receive at least one intervention, with a smaller number receiving sham SGB/ placebo ketamine, which is necessary to determine efficacy and serve as a comparator. Several patient-reported outcomes, including quality of life measures, will be collected at baseline and the primary endpoint at 4 weeks. There will also be patient-reported outcome measures recorded at 1 and 2 weeks. Those with a positive categorical response (described under data collection) at 4 weeks will be followed further at 8 and 12 weeks. Those with negative outcomes will exit the study and be followed as an observational cohort where they will be eligible for non-study measures as determined by the treating providers. This may include other novel treatments such as using higher doses of ketamine, left-sided sympathetic blocks, sympathetic blocks with botulinum toxin and liposomal bupivacaine, and the use of neuromodulation.
For all patients who continue to experience a positive categorical outcome, unblinding will occur at 12 weeks, and they will be followed at 6 months as part of an observational cohort whereby the same outcome measures will be recorded. Those who exit the study and are unblinded at early time points (i.e., 4, 8 or 12 weeks in those with a 12-week negative outcome) will be followed as an observational cohort if they received one of the study treatments, including a variation (e.g., a higher dose of ketamine, a left-sided cervical sympathetic blocks). These time points will be the same as in the clinical trial portion of the study (1,2,4,8 and 12 weeks), and 6 months. For those in either the clinical trial extension or observational cohort who continue to experience a positive outcome at 6 months, we will again follow them at 12 months.
