A Randomized Clinical Trial of Glyburide (RP-1127) for TBI

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-institutional study of IV
RP-1127 (Glyburide for Injection) begun within 10 hours of complicated mild, moderate or
severe traumatic brain injury (TBI).

The primary efficacy objective of this study is to assess whether patients with severe,
moderate, or complicated mild TBI administered RP-1127 will show a decrease in MRI-defined
edema and/or hemorrhage, compared to patients administered placebo.

The primary safety objective is to assess the safety and tolerability of RP-1127 compared to
placebo in patients with severe, moderate, or complicated mild TBI.

Inclusion Criteria:

1. Documented closed head TBI

2. Clearly defined time of injury no more than 10 hours before administration of study
drug/placebo

3. GCS 4-14. The GCS will be obtained free of the effects of sedating and/or paralytic
drug. Complicated mild must have GCS 13-14 and one or more of the following:
Intraparenchymal clots or contusions in aggregate > 10cc; Midline shift > 5mm; IVH,
SDH, EDH seen on more than one CT scan slice.

4. Age 18-75 years

5. Patients in whom a dedicated peripheral IV line can be placed for study drug
administration

6. Written consent obtained from legally authorized representative (LAR)

Exclusion Criteria:

1. No documented TBI or time of impact not certain

2. Penetrating brain injury

3. Spinal column instability and/or spinal cord injury with neurodeficit

4. Concomitant severe non survivable injury

5. Pregnant, or a positive pregnancy test

6. Women who intend to breastfeed during Study Days 1-4.

7. Blood glucose <50mg/dL

8. Severe renal disorder from the patient's history (e.g. dialysis) or serum creatinine
of > 2.5 mg/dL

9. Severe liver disease or total bilirubin >1.5 times upper limit of normal

10. INR>1.4

11. Systolic BP<90 mm Hg not responsive to fluid resuscitation

12. Blood alcohol > 250mg/dL

13. Inability to have MRI (pacemaker, non-MR compatible pressure monitor, etc.)

14. Hospitalization for brain injury, psychiatric or neurological disease within previous
3 years

15. Emergent or urgent surgical operation anticipated (in OR, bedside procedures
excluded) that would prevent dosing with study drug within 8 hours of injury.

16. Known use of Coumadin (warfarin), Plavix (clopidogrel), Effient (prasugrel) or Pletal
(cilostazol), heparin, low molecular weight heparin, heparinoids, or abciximab or
similar antiplatelet agents in the previous 72 hours (Note that patients later found
to have taken these medications will not be automatically excluded from the study.)

17. Use of sulfonylurea drugs within the prior 30 days

18. Treatment with another investigational drug within the prior 30 days

19. Allergy to sulfonylurea drugs

20. Known diagnosis of G6PD enzyme deficiency

21. PaO2 < 60 mm Hg on admission (for patients in whom blood gases are drawn per standard
of care)

22. Non-English speaking legally authorized representative and subjects (University of
Maryland only)

23. Prisoners or others who may be unable to make a truly voluntary and uncoerced
decision whether or not to participate in the study

24. Any other clinical condition which in the opinion of the investigator makes the
patient unsuitable for inclusion into the study
