- Abstract:
- Traumatic brain injury is a leading cause of death and disability worldwide. The nitric oxide synthase inhibitor Ronopterin was shown to improve clinical outcome by enhancing neuroprotection in a phase IIa trial. The NOSTRA phase III trial (Ronopterin in traumatic brain injury) is a multi-centre, prospective, randomised, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, phase III trial in Europe. It aims at determining whether the administration of Ronopterin compared to placebo improves neurological outcome in patients with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury at 6 months after injury. The trial is designed to recruit patients between 18 and 60 years of age with moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (Glasgow Coma Scale score ≥ 3) and requiring insertion of an intracranial pressure probe. Trial patients will receive a 48-h intravenous infusion of either Ronopterin or placebo starting at the earliest 6 h and at the latest 18 h after injury. The primary outcome will be the extended Glasgow Outcome Score (eGOS) at 6 months. Secondary outcomes will include the Quality of Life Index (QOLIBRI) at 6 months after the injury and the eGOS at 3 months after the injury. Additionally, effects on mortality, intracranial pressure and cerebral perfusion pressure are evaluated. The trial aims to provide evidence on the efficacy and safety of Ronopterin in patients with traumatic brain injury. EudraCT, 2013-003368-29. Registered on 9 March 2016.
