About this study

Official title: Advanced MRI Applications for Mild Traumatic Brain Injury - Study 3

This hypothesis-generating feasibility study to determine potential associations between a broad range of clinical neurological symptoms and Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI), data, and clinical findings involved in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). These associations will be examined over the acute and sub-acute period (baseline to 3 months) following injury to provide information useful for optimization of MR pulse sequences for mTBI applications.

The intent of this study is to broadly generate a range of potential mTBI biomarkers detectable using investigational MR pulse sequence technologies. Feasibility data attained in this study may be used for engineering program decision-making and in support of future scientific assessment, engineering development, published research databases or registries mTBI data and images, and other purposes determined by the Sponsor. The results of this study are not intended for use in regulatory submissions.

Subjects will be examined on commercially available MR scanner using investigational or standard of care MR coils and a series of investigational Application Packs containing a predetermined set of MR pulse sequences optimized by Sponsor

This hypothesis-generating feasibility study is being conducted to determine potential associations between a broad range of clinical neurological symptoms and MR images, data, and clinical findings involved in mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI). These associations will be examined over the acute and sub-acute period (approximately 3 months) following injury to provide information useful for optimization of MR pulse sequences for mTBI applications.

The intent of this study is to broadly generate a range of potential mTBI biomarkers detectable using investigational MR pulse sequence technologies. Feasibility data attained in this study may be used for engineering program decision-making and in support of future scientific assessment, engineering development, published research databases or registries mTBI data and images, and other purposes determined by the Sponsor. The results of this study are not intended for use in regulatory submissions.

Subjects will be examined on commercially available MR scanners using investigational or standard of care MR coils and a series of investigational Application Packs containing a predetermined set of MR pulse sequences optimized by GEHC.

What is being measured

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

  1. mTBI Progression Indicated by Clinical Neurological Characteristics, MRI Images, and Quantitative MRI Data From Novel Software

    To determine associations between clinical neurological data, MR images, quantitative data from novel software post-processing (sponsor developed software including Volumetry, Kurtosis, Resting State [RS], functional magnetic resonance imaging [fMRI], and additional post-processing modules may be provided

    Measured: Baseline to 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing MRI Diagnostic in people with Traumatic Brain Injury, run by GE Healthcare 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 0 inclusion and 23 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 24 Jul 2017. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 24 Jul 2017). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

mTBI Progression Indicated by Clinical Neurological Characteristics, MRI Images, and Quantitative MRI Data From Novel Software (time frame: Baseline to 3 months). 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 24 Jul 2017.
