Biomarker Levels as A Predictor of Concussion Severity OUTcomes (BlacOut)

NCT02992327 · View on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗

Study Summary

The overall research aim of this pilot study is to determine if the structural brain protein calpain-cleaved αII-spectrin N-terminal fragment (SNTF) can be used as a blood biomarker to accurately identify patients who will have more severe symptoms and reduced neurocognitive functioning after sustaining a concussion. Concussion is also referred to as mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) in the literature. Both terms will be used interchangeably throughout this application.

What the Registry Record Tells You About NCT02992327

The ClinicalTrials.gov registry entry for NCT02992327 describes a study currently listed as completed. It is categorized as an unspecified phase, which is the standard way researchers label where a study sits along the investigational pathway from early safety work through later efficacy and post-marketing evaluation. The registered enrollment target is 100 participants, a figure that helps gauge the scale of data the investigators plan to collect. The listed sponsor is HealthPartners Institute, which has 77 total studies on file at ClinicalTrials.gov, and sponsors are the parties responsible for study design, oversight, and regulatory filings.

The record links to 2 conditions, with Concussion, Mild appearing as the primary indexed condition, and to 0 interventions. Interventions can include drugs, devices, procedures, behavioral programs, or observational arms, and each is tracked as a separate registry field so that downstream queries can filter accurately. When a trial lists multiple interventions, it usually reflects a multi-arm design or a comparison protocol rather than a single treatment being tested in isolation. The brief summary published in the registry is the clearest source of protocol intent and should be read before drawing conclusions from any sidebar tags.

Geographic footprint matters for practical reasons: NCT02992327 reports 1 study location spanning 1 distinct geographic area — top geographies include Minnesota. A larger site network tends to correlate with broader recruitment capacity, but it does not imply anything about study quality, and site-level enrollment status can diverge from the overall registry status shown above. Every data point on this page comes from the public ClinicalTrials.gov dataset and is reproduced here for reference only; it is not a medical recommendation, an endorsement of the sponsor, or an invitation to enroll.
