Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 5 to 67 years
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Child, Adult, Older adult

Study population: Participants will include all patients evaluated for potential traumatic brain injury presenting to the Emergency Department or concussion clinic.

Who may be able to join

  • Provide written informed consent.
  • Be between the ages of 4 and 67 years old.
  • Have a diagnosis of traumatic brain injury with a potential for concussion.
  • Subjects must have baseline vision correctable to within 20/500 bilaterally.
  • Subjects must have intact ocular motility.
  • Subjects must have ability to provide a complete ophthalmologic, medical and neurologic history as well as medications/drugs/alcohol consumed within the 24 hours prior.

Who cannot join

  • ER visit has been more than 2 weeks since the injury which may have caused the concussion.
  • Have received penetrating trauma or have a head CT demonstrating evidence of acute brain injury (subdural, epidural or intraparenchymal hemorrhage, edema/mass effect per attending radiologist read).
  • Suffering burns, anoxic injury or multiple/extensive injuries resulting in any medical, surgical or hemodynamic instability.
  • Blind (no light perception), are missing eyes, do not open eyes.
  • It is pertinent that subjects be able to detect light and have both eyes in order for the eye tracking data to be effective and significant.
  • Previous history of: ocular motility dysfunction or extensive prior eye surgery.
  • Any physical or mental injury or baseline disability rendering task completion difficult.
  • Obvious intoxication or blood alcohol level greater than 0.2.

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Potential Traumatic Brain InjuryThis group will consist of people admitted to the ER, Trauma Bay, or Neurosurgery for potential traumatic brain injury.
Receives: Device: EyeBox CNS

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. A change in metrics of eye movement that enable positive concussion detection using BOX Score.

    A True Positive rate for identifying Concussion as compared to a Clinical Reference standard.

    Measured: Immediately after eye tracking, within 2 weeks of injury

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Change in Cognitive Function and Symptom Severity during Recovery as Measured with a Clinical Reference Standard for Concussion.

    Measured: Immediately before eye tracking, between 1 week and 109 weeks post injury

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Concussion and Cerebral Concussion, run by Oculogica, Inc. at 2 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 6 inclusion and 8 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 7 Sep 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

A change in metrics of eye movement that enable positive concussion detection using BOX Score. (time frame: Immediately after eye tracking, within 2 weeks of injury). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02776462, which also lists 3 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 7 Sep 2018.
