About this study

Official title: AWARE: Mild Traumatic Brain Injury in Collegiate Athletes - A Prospective Study With Blood-based Biomarkers, Advanced Neuroimaging and the Head Impact Telemetry System (HITS)

What participants receive

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

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Sports induced concussionExposure to sports induced concussion
Routine Athletic ExertionExposure to routine athletic exertion without sports-induced concussion (non-concussion control)

What is being measured

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

  1. Correlation of serum biomarker levels with neuroanatomic and neuropathologic changes from baseline using neuroimaging, following sports-related concussion

    Measured: Baseline and up to 48 months

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Correlation of serum biomarker levels with head acceleration data using head impact telemetry system following sports-related concussion

    Measured: Baseline and up to 48 months

  2. Correlation of serum biomarker levels and neuroimaging results to standard clinical measures of concussion in the acute phase of injury and at the completion of collegiate athletic participation

    Measured: Baseline and up to 48 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Traumatic Brain Injury, run by Banyan Biomarkers, Inc at 1 site 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 3 inclusion and 1 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 16 Dec 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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?

Correlation of serum biomarker levels with neuroanatomic and neuropathologic changes from baseline using neuroimaging, following sports-related concussion (time frame: Baseline and up to 48 months). 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 NCT02189525, 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 16 Dec 2020; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
