Common use of Study Purpose Clause in Contracts

Study Purpose.  The purpose of TRACK-TBI plasma and serum samples is to serve as a validation cohort. Requests for samples to be used in a discovery cohort or for an exploratory study will not be entertained.  Requests for samples must be accompanied with preliminary data from humans with TBI, showing in small- to moderate-sized cohorts that the biomarker(s) being proposed show promise as a diagnostic or prognostic biomarker for TBI. Preliminary results from animal models or humans with other disorders (i.e., stroke, epilepsy) are not sufficient.  Due to the complex nature of the clinical data collected and its relationship with the biofluid biomarkers, analysis should be carried out in collaboration with a TRACK-TBI Investigator. This Investigator must be identified on the Research Collaboration Request Form.
