The biomarker potential in TBI
Teena Shetty
Hospital for Special Surgery, USA
T
he presentation will address blood and imaging biomarkers in mild traumatic brain injury and studies led by Dr. Shetty at
the Hospital for Special Surgery. The GE-NFL Advanced MRI Applications/Abbot Biomarker Candidates for mTBI study is an
analysis of investigational MR imaging and blood biomarker identification in subjects who have recently sustained a concussion.
The specialized MRI software is correlated with detailed neurological assessments and 11 brain-tissue specific blood biomarkers
that are expected to peak and then normalize following a concussion. Presently, 44 subjects are enrolled in the imaging portion
with 42 subjects co-enrolled in the blood biomarker portion. 20 subjects have been enrolled in both imaging and blood biomarker
at encounter 1 (within 72 hours of injury). 86 subjects were enrolled between March 2014 and June 2015 with 26 healthy controls
matched for age, gender, handedness, level of education and socioeconomic status.
