- Abstract
BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a global epidemic. Overall outcome is poor, with mortality ranging from 10 to 70% and significant long-term morbidity. Several experimental reports have claimed effect on traumatic edema, but no clinical trials have shown effect on edema or outcome. Antisecretory factor, an endogenous protein, is commercially available as Salovum®, which is classified as a medical food by the European Union and has shown effect in experimental trauma models and feasibility with signs of effect in 2 pilot case series. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of antisecretory factor in adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury as measured by 30-day mortality, treatment intensity level... (More)
BACKGROUND: Traumatic brain injury (TBI) constitutes a global epidemic. Overall outcome is poor, with mortality ranging from 10 to 70% and significant long-term morbidity. Several experimental reports have claimed effect on traumatic edema, but no clinical trials have shown effect on edema or outcome. Antisecretory factor, an endogenous protein, is commercially available as Salovum®, which is classified as a medical food by the European Union and has shown effect in experimental trauma models and feasibility with signs of effect in 2 pilot case series. The aim of this study is to assess the effect of antisecretory factor in adult patients with severe traumatic brain injury as measured by 30-day mortality, treatment intensity level (TIL), and intracranial pressure (ICP).
METHODS/DESIGN: This is a single-center, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled clinical phase 2 trial, investigating the clinical superiority of Salovum® given as a food supplement to adults with severe TBI (GCS < 9), presenting to the trauma unit at Tygerberg University Hospital, Cape Town, South Africa, that are planned for invasive ICP monitoring and neurointensive care, will be screened for eligibility, and assigned to either treatment group (n = 50) or placebo group (n = 50). In both groups, the primary outcome will be 30-day mortality, recorded via hospital charts, follow-up phone calls, and the population registry. Secondary outcomes will be treatment intensity level (TIL), scored from hospital charts, and ICP registered from hospital data monitoring.
