Validation of Brain Function Assessment Algorithm for mTBI/Concussion in College Athletes

Completed

• Conditions: Concussion, Mild; Concussion, Severe; Brain Injuries, Traumatic; Concussion, Brain; Concussion, Intermediate
• Interventions: Device: BrainScope Ahead 200iD

• Registration Number: NCT02957461
• Lead Sponsor: BrainScope Company, Inc.

Brief Summary

This study is Part 1 of data collection from 18-25 years old subject population for validation of previously derived algorithms. This data will be combined with that collected under NCT03671083 (Part 2 with subject age range 13-25 years) for the final analyses of validation of the algorithms.

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 NCT03671083 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.

Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Injured and Matched Control Subject Pool	BrainScope Ahead 200iD	Injured subjects consist of athletes 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.
Healthy Volunteer Subject Pool	BrainScope Ahead 200iD	This subject pool will consist of uninjured (not head injured) contact and non-contact athletes and will be tested at a single time point. These subjects will perform the same BrainScope Battery as the injured and matched control subjects.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Likelihood of being concussed	6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP	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)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Significance of change over time	6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP	Significant difference in concussion index between time of injury and return to play (RTP)
Prediction of prolonged recovery	6 months for data acquisition, with each patient studied from time of injury to 45 days after RTP	Accuracy of prediction of prolonged recovery from injury assessment using a multi-modal EEG-based concussion index
