Trial Outcomes & Findings for Ghrelin (OXE--103) for Acute Concussion Management (NCT NCT04558346)

NCT ID: NCT04558346

Last Updated: 2024-05-21

Results Overview

The primary goal is to describe the change in severity of symptoms in sub-acute concussion with treatment with OXE-103 using the Post Concussion Symptom Scale questionnaire during the intervention period at days 1 and 15 as well as during the post-treatment period at day 44. The Post Concussion Symptom Scale questionnaire consists of 23 common concussion symptoms which are assigned a ranking of severity on a scale from 0 (no symptom) to 6 (severe symptom). This tool is used to capture both severity of concussion symptoms as well as the number of symptoms. Data will be reported with the total values of all 23 subscale symptoms (total score = sum of all subscale symptom scores)--total can range from 0 to 138 with lower scores indicating lower symptom burden and higher scores a higher symptom burden (lower score = better outcome)

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Days 1, 15, and 44

A secondary goal is to examine change in quality of life with treatment of sub-acute concussion using the Quality of Life after Brain Injury The QOLIBRI scores are reported on a 0-100 scale , where 0=worst possible quality of life and 100=best possible quality of life. Responses to the 'satisfaction' items (i.e. items on the Cognition, Self, Daily Life \& Autonomy, and Social Relationships scales) are on a 1-5 scale, 1= "not at all satisfied" and 5="very satisfied". Responses to the 'bothered' items (i.e. items on the Emotions and Physical Problems scales) are reverse scored to correspond with the satisfaction items, where 1="very bothered" and 5="not at all bothered". The responses on each scale are summed to give a total, and then divided by the number of responses to give a scale mean. The scale means have a maximum possible range of 1 to 5. In a similar manner the QOLIBRI Total score is calculated by summing all the responses, and then dividing by the actual number of responses.
