E.2 Objective of the trial |
E.2.1 | Main objective of the trial |
The aim of the study is to determine the safety and tolerability of SLV334 after a single intravenous (i.v.) dose of 1000 mg SLV334 and after multiple i.v. doses of 1000 mg SLV334 and 2000 mg SLV334 (up to 3 days, b.i.d.) compared to placebo in patients with moderate and severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). |
|
E.2.2 | Secondary objectives of the trial |
-To determine the pharmacokinetics of SLV334 after a single dose of 1000 mg SLV334 and after multiple doses of 1000 mg SLV334 and 2000 mg SLV334 (up to 3 days, b.i.d.) in subjects with moderate and severe TBI. - To assess the effect of SLV334 on clinical assessments such as intracranial pressure (ICP), cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) and therapy intensity level (TIL). - To assess in a sub-sample of subjects (those with a ventricular catheter or microdialysis), SLV334 levels in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or microdialysis compared to systemic levels. - To assess in a sub-sample of subjects (as previously), the influence of single and multiple doses of i.v. SLV334 on neurohormone activities/conc.s related to the mode of action (neutral endopeptidase [NEP] and endothelin converting enzyme [ECE] and markers for apoptosis, necrosis and neural damage in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and/or microdialysis compared to placebo and compared to systemic (plasma) levels. |

E.2.3 | Trial contains a sub-study | No |
E.3 | Principal inclusion criteria |
1. Male or female subjects, age between 16 and 70 years, inclusive [the lower age limit will be 18 if required by local regulations]; 2. TBI diagnosed by history, clinical examination with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) of 12 or less; 3. Evidence of TBI confirmed by abnormalities on Computed Tomography (CT) scan; 4. Clinical indication to monitor ICP; 5. Randomization and drug treatment with study drug possible within 8 hours after closed [non-penetrating] head trauma; 6. Informed Consent is given. |
|
E.4 | Principal exclusion criteria |
1. Life expectancy of less than 24 hours; 2. Any spinal cord injury; 3. Suspected or confirmed pregnancy or lactating women; 4. Penetrating head injury (e.g. missile, gunshot or stab injuries); 5. Bilaterally fixed dilated pupils at the time of randomization; 6. Coma suspected to be primarily due to other causes than head injury (e.g. drug or alcohol overdose); 7. Pure epidural hematoma (lucid interval and absence of structural brain damage on CT scan); 8. Known or CT scan evidence of previous major cerebral damage or known clinical sequelae of prior spinal cord injury; 9. Any severe concomitant condition (e.g. cancer, renal, hepatic, coronary disease or major psychiatric disorder) that can be ascertained at admission and could affect functional outcome; 10. Severe multiple trauma or major organ failure (uncontrolled visceral bleeding, unstable cardio-respiratory or renal function); 11. Severe cardiac or hemodynamic instability after resuscitation (Systolic blood pressure ? 100 mmHg) consistent with point #1 above 12. Known treatment with another investigational drug therapy or intervention within 30 days of injury. |

E.5 End points |
E.5.1 | Primary end point(s) |
Safety: The primary outcome measure will be the safety of SLV334 including mortality, adverse events (AE), serious adverse events (SAE), vitals signs, laboratory variables and ECG
Pharmacokinetics: In cohorts 1-3, pharmacokinetics measurements of SLV334 plasma levels will be measured at 6 time-points up to 24 hours after start of the first infusion. In cohort 4, plasma levels of SLV334 will be measured at 12 time-points up to 24 hours after the first dose of Day 3.
Pharmacodynamics: - Biomarkers for Endothelin Converting Enzyme (ECE) and Neutral Endopeptidase (NEP): ET-1, Big-ET-1, BNP, ANP and cGMP. - Biomarkers for apoptosis and necrosis (alpha II-spectrin breakdown products, UCH-L1 and BA252). |
