About this study

Official title: Validation of Brain Function Assessment Algorthm for mTBI From Initial Injury to Rehabilitation and Treatment Optimization in Concussion Clinics

This study is Part 2 of data collection from 13-25 years old subject population for validation of previously derived algorithms. This data will be combined with that collected under NCT02957461 (Part 1 with subject age range 18-25 years) for the final analyses of validation of the algorithms.

Read the detailed description

EEG, neurocognitive performance and clinical data will be collected at time of injury (within 3 days) at clinically determined Return to Play (RTP) and 45 days after RTP, for the purpose of independently validating the performance of the algorithms developed in prior studies (NCT02477943, NCT02661633 and NCTXXXXXX). Data collected under this study will be combined with that collected under NCT02957461 for the final analyses of prospective algorithm performance in an independent population ages 13-25 years. 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.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • BrainScope Ahead 300iPDevice

    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, Ocular Motor Assessment. BrainScope Ahead 300iP will be used to perform EEG and Cognitive assessments.

Study groups in NCT03671083
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Injured and Matched Control Subject PoolInjured 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.
Receives: Device: BrainScope Ahead 300iP
Healthy Volunteer Subject PoolThis 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.
Receives: Device: BrainScope Ahead 300iP

What is being measured

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

  1. Likelihood of being concussed

    Sensitivity and specificity forthe identification of the likelihood of concussion/mTBI at the time of injury using a multi-modal EEG-based Concussion Index (CI)

    Measured: 6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Significance of change over time

    Significant difference in concussion index between time of injury and return to play (RTP)

    Measured: 6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP

  2. Prediction of prolonged recovery

    Accuracy of prediction of prolonged recovery from injury assessment using a multi-modal EEG-based concussion index

    Measured: 6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Brain Injuries, Traumatic and Concussion, Mild, run by BrainScope Company, Inc. at 5 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 7 inclusion and 15 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 23 May 2019. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 5 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?

Likelihood of being concussed (time frame: 6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
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 23 May 2019.
