About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Traumatic Brain Injury focused on measuring Traumatic brain injury
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: Written informed consent from patient, patient's legal guardian or legal representative, or deferred consent procedure, according to local requirements 18 - 50 years of age, inclusive Expected to survive more than 24 hours after admission Clearly defined time of injury no more than 12 hours before administration of study drug/placebo o Subjects stratified 1:1 (in each arm) by treatment administered 0-12 hrs TBI with Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) 4-12 requiring intracranial pressure (ICP) monitoring according to the assessment of the treating physician o Subjects stratified 1:1 (in each arm) by GCS 4-8 and GCS 9-12 Catheter placement (intraventricular or intraparenchymal, only) for monitoring and management of increased ICP [Brain computed tomography (CT) showing intracranial parenchymal abnormality and hemodynamically stable] Exclusion Criteria: Penetrating head injury (e.g. missile, stab wound) Concurrent, but not pre-existing, spinal cord injury Not expected to survive more than 24 hours after admission Pregnant, or a positive pregnancy test Coma due to an exclusive epidural hematoma (lucid interval and absence of structural brain damage on CT scan) Patient pupils are unresponsive (dilation) in both eyes The subject has a neurodegenerative disease or other neurological disorder including dementia, Parkinson's disease, multiple sclerosis, seizure disorder, or brain tumors. Coma suspected to be primarily due to other causes than head injury (e.g. drug overdose intoxication, drowning/near drowning Known or CT scan evidence of pre-existing major cerebral damage Any severe concomitant condition (cancer; hematologic, renal, hepatic, coronary disease; major psychiatric disorder; alcohol or drug abuse), that can be ascertained at admission Known to have received an experimental drug within 4 weeks prior to current injury Patients who cannot be monitored with regard to their recovery (GOS-E and QOLIBRI)

Participants will be screened, enrolled and receive the assigned treatment within 12 hours of the primary TBI insult (or estimated less than 12 hours if the exact time is unknown). Enrolled participants will be stratified 1:1 (in each arm) by GCS score (GCS 4-8 in one group and GCS 9 - 12 in the other). The treatment period, which involves 6 hourly, i.e., quarter in die (QID), ABX 101 (1 mg OR 2 mg) intramuscular injections, is seven days.
