Trial summary

Head trauma is a common injury in emergency department. Investigation to search for complication is guided by the clinical examination and the case history, such as taking anti-thrombotics. Cranial computed tomography (CCT) is the gold standard to investigate, and is mandatory in case of antithrombotic drugs. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Intérêt de la protéine S100β Dans Les Traumatismes Crâniens légers Sous Anti-Thrombotiques

Head trauma is a common injury in emergency department. Investigation to search for complication is guided by the clinical examination and the case history, such as taking anti-thrombotics. Cranial computed tomography (CCT) is the gold standard to investigate, and is mandatory in case of antithrombotic drugs.

Recently, some biomarkers have proven their utility to rule-out mild head trauma without CCT in the general population. Among these biomarkers, S100β protein has been added in guidelines for mild head trauma. Some studies have found similar data in population taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet drugs.

The investigators aim to prove medical utility of S100β protein in population under antithrombotics, by the reduction of CCT use. Then, The investigators hypothesize that the add of S100β protein reduces cost of health care in the management of head injury in that population.

What is being measured

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

  1. Diagnostic performances are evaluated by AUC

    Diagnostic performances of S100β protein in case of mild head trauma for detection of traumatic intracranial lesion in patients under antithrombotic medication compare to cranial computed tomography.

    Measured: 1 day

  2. Diagnostic performances are evaluated by sensibility, specificity

    Diagnostic performances of S100β protein in case of mild head trauma for detection of traumatic intracranial lesion in patients under antithrombotic medication compare to cranial computed tomography.

    Measured: 1 day

  3. Diagnostic performances of S100β protein in case of mild head trauma for detection of traumatic intracranial lesion in patients under antithrombotic medication compare to cranial computed tomography.

    Diagnostic performances are evaluated by positive and negative predictive values between the strategy with S100β protein compared to the strategy with systematic cranial computed tomography.

    Measured: 1 day

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Mild Head Injury and Anticoagulant, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site in France.

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 5 inclusion and 6 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 12 Apr 2023. 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 France. 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?

Diagnostic performances are evaluated by AUC (time frame: 1 day). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 NCT04305821, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 12 Apr 2023; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
