Testing fresh frozen plasma for traumatic brain injury
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Injuries & trauma clinical trials.
This trial tests whether giving fresh frozen plasma (a blood product) soon after a traumatic brain injury can help people recover better. It is for adults aged 18 to 65 with moderate to severe TBI confirmed by CT scan.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 65 years old
- You have a moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (GCS score between 3 and 12)
- A CT scan shows specific brain injury patterns (BIG 3)
- You can receive the treatment within 1 hour of arriving at the hospital
- You have no history of serious heart, kidney, liver, or lung problems
- You have never had a bad reaction to plasma or blood products

This study looks at patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) who already need brain pressure or oxygen monitoring. Doctors want to see if certain tests can help predict how well someone might recover.
This study tests new ways to improve care for people with a penetrating brain injury, which happens when an object goes through the skull and into the brain. It aims to find better treatments that could help recovery.
This trial tests whether taking an anti–blood clot medicine (dalteparin) and using leg compression can reduce dangerous blood clots after a severe traumatic brain injury. It may help lower the chance of clots forming when people are immobile and at higher risk.
This trial tests whether giving a platelet transfusion to patients with severe traumatic brain injury who are on antiplatelet medication can improve how well their blood clots. You may qualify if you have a serious brain bleed and are taking a medication like aspirin or clopidogrel.
This study is looking at people with traumatic brain injuries to improve how they are treated. If you join, you will get an MRI and other tests within the first two days after your injury, and the researchers will track your recovery over time.
This study tests an investigational treatment called INTERCEPT Fibrinogen Complex (IFC) for people with severe bleeding after a traumatic injury. The treatment helps restore a key blood-clotting protein to try to stop the bleeding and improve survival.
