Traumatic Brain Injury
Conditions
Brief summary
Patients with a diagnosis of moderate to severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) will be enrolled. Subjects will be randomly assigned to receive either MLC901 (Specified Drug Code) or placebo capsules three times per day over 6 months. Evaluation of patients will be carried out at baseline as well as at 3-month and 6-month follow-up visits. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) and Glasgow outcome scale (GOS) will be used to examine patients. Efficacy will be evaluated by comparing these two scores between the 2 groups at follow-up visits.
