View clinical trials related to Intracerebral Hemorrhage.
Filter by:Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 16-19% of all strokes in Western Europe and contributes profoundly to mortality and disability. Thirty-day case fatality is 40% and of those surviving, only few gain independence. Except for stroke unit care and possibly early blood pressure lowering, there is currently no treatment of proven benefit. Surgical treatment has so far not been proven effective. In the largest trials STICH I and II, and MISTIE III, the median time to treatment was more than 24 hours, which may be an important explanation for the lack of a treatment effect. A recent meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials showed that surgical treatment may be beneficial, in particular with minimally invasive procedures and when performed early. In the Dutch ICH Surgery pilot study, we showed that early minimally invasive endoscopy-guided surgical treatment performed within 8 hours of symptom onset in patients with supratentorial ICH is safe and technically effective. We hypothesize that early minimally invasive endoscopy-guided surgery improves the outcome in patients with supratentorial spontaneous ICH. Objectives: 1. To study whether minimally invasive endoscopy-guided surgery, in addition to standard medical management, for the treatment of spontaneous supratentorial ICH performed within 8 hours of symptom onset, improves functional outcome in comparison with standard medical management alone; 2. Determine whether patients treated with minimally invasive surgery develop less perihematomal edema on non-contrast CT at day 6 (±1 day) than controls, and whether the CT perfusion permeability surface-area product around the ICH at baseline modifies this effect (DIST-INFLAME); 3. Compare immune profiles over time in peripheral venous blood between surgically treated patients and controls (DIST-INFLAME); 4. To assess the cost-effectiveness and budget-impact of minimally invasive endoscopy-guided surgery for the treatment of spontaneous supratentorial ICH performed within 8 hours of symptom onset. Study design: A multicenter, prospective, randomized, open, blinded endpoint clinical trial. Study population: We aim to include 600 patients of ≥ 18 years with a spontaneous supratentorial ICH with a hematoma volume of ≥ 10 mL and a NIHSS of ≥ 2. Patients with an aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) as cause of their ICH will be excluded based on the admission CT-angiography. Patients with a known tumor or cavernoma will also be excluded. For DIST-INFLAME (the second and third objective), we will include 200 patients; 100 randomized to intervention and 100 randomized to standard medical management. Intervention: Patients will be randomized (1:1) to minimally invasive endoscopy-guided surgery performed within 8 hours of symptom onset in addition to standard medical management or to standard medical management alone. Primary study outcome: the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score at 180 days. The treatment effect will be estimated with ordinal logistic regression analysis as common odds ratio, adjusted for prespecified prognostic factors. Secondary outcomes: mRS score at 90 and 365 days; favorable outcome (defined as a mRS 0-2 and 0-3) and all other possible dichotomizations of the mRS at 90, 180 and 365 days; NIHSS at day 6 (±1 day); death, Barthel Index, EuroQol-5D-5L, SS-QOL, iMCQ, iPCQ and iVICQ at 90, 180 and 365 days. Safety outcomes will be death within 24 hours, at 7 and at 30 days and procedure-related complications within 7 days. Technical effectiveness outcomes will be percentage volume reduction based on the baseline CT and CT at 24 hours (± 6 hours), percentage of participants with clot volume reduction ≥70%, and ≥80%, and with remaining clot volume ≤10mL, and ≤15mL, and conversion to craniotomy. In DIST-INFLAME, outcomes will include perihematomal edema at 6 days (±1 day), functional outcome at 180 days and immune and metabolomic profiles at 3 (± 12 hours) and 6 days (±1 day).
This trial is a phase IIa human clinical study, in which 60 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) at basal ganglion or thalamus within 6 h after onset will be enrolled. Patients will be randomly assigned as treatment group or control group as 1:1 distribution. Early initiation of celecoxib within 6 h after ICH and treatment for 21 days will be performed. The safety will be evaluated by drug adverse effects. The efficacy will be assessed by hematoma expansion, brain edema, and 3-month modified Rankin scale.
Stroke-associated pneumonia (SAP) is a grave complication of stroke and one of the most important predictors for patients' poor outcomes. Stroke associated pneumoniaSAP and other infections limited the overall efficacy of stroke management. Increasing evidence suggests that sympathetic nervous system activity contributes to post post-stroke immunosuppression and emergence of infections. This study is designed to test the safety and efficacy of an adrenergic β receptor blocker propranolol in reducing SAP in hemorrhagic stroke patients, in a multi-center, randomized, open-labeled, end point-blinded, trial.
This observational study comprises consecutively patients with cerebrovascular diseases admitted to the Stroke Unit at Akershus University Hospital in Norway. Akershus University Hospital is the largest emergency care hospital in Norway and has a catchment area covering a population of 550.000, which is approximately 10 % of the Norwegian population and reasonably representative according to data from Statistics Norway. The hospital is public and serving both as a primary hospital and a university hospital. Due to the Norwegian, national, all-covering health-insurance, all patients enter the hospital and are considered for further in-patient care on the same conditions. The hospital has a stroke unit classified as a comprehensive stroke center according to European Stroke Organisation standards. Acute stroke management follows national and international guidelines. Overall, the ASIST-1 study will investigate management, outcome and prognosis of stroke and stroke care pathways and later follow up in primary care using several approaches combining existing clinical data from a representative population with different Norwegian health registries. Parts of the study are retrospective with prospective follow-up by health registries and parts of the study are prospective.
Cortical spreading depolarisations are pathological depolarisation waves that occur frequently after severe acute brain injury and has been associated with poor outcome. S-ketamine has been shown to inhibit cortical spreading depolarisations. The aim of the present study is to examine the efficacy and safety of using S-ketamine for treatment of patients with severe acute brain injury, as well as the feasibility of the trial design.
The investigators will perform follow-up on 250 of 500 cases recruited into the ROSE study of cases with deep and lobar intracerebral hemorrhage to perform advanced neuroimaging at 12-24 months post stroke, and evaluations of motor and cognitive function at baseline, 6 months after baseline, and 12 months after baseline to determine predictors of recovery, progressive cognitive or functional impairment. The investigators propose to leverage the recruitment, DNA, RNA-seq and baseline advanced neuroimaging cohort of ROSE to obtain long-term neuroimaging and identical assessments longitudinally to address critical questions regarding the progressive decline of patients 12 to 24 months post intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) with long term cognitive follow-up to 36 months on average. This proposal would represent the largest, and longest advanced neuroimaging and RNA-sequencing evaluation after ICH to date.
This first-in-patient phase 2a pilot study will assess the safety and tolerability of MW01-6-189WH (hereafter called MW189) in patients with Intracerebral Hemorrhage (ICH).
The length of prophylactic antibiotic use with antibiotic impregnated External Ventricular Drains (EVD)s is unknown. This study is a randomized clinical trial with two arms: 1. twenty four hours of prophylactic antibiotic use or 2. prophylactic antibiotic use for entire duration of EVD
This is a pragmatic, multi-center, prospective, observational, non-interventional study and standing database of patients hospitalized for transient ischemic attack (TIA) or stroke in the 11 accredited adult neurology training institutions in the Philippines. Data will be collected from each patient while admitted in the hospital and until hospital discharge. Data collection for this study will span 3 years from study initiation, after which the utility of an extension or a re-implementation of the study will be assessed.
The overall goal of the DISCOVERY study is to better understand what factors contribute to changes in cognitive (i.e., thinking and memory) abilities in patients who experienced a stroke. The purpose of the study is to help doctors identify patients at risk for dementia (decline in memory, thinking and other mental abilities that significantly affects daily functioning) after their stroke so that future treatments may be developed to improve outcomes in stroke patients. For this study, a "stroke" is defined as either (1) an acute ischemic stroke (AIS, or blood clot in the brain), (2) an intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH, or bleeding in the brain), (3) or an aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH, or bleeding around the brain caused by an abnormal bulge in a blood vessel that bursts). The investigators hypothesize that: 1. The size, type and location of the stroke play an important role in recovery of thinking and memory abilities after stroke, and pre-existing indicators of brain health further determine the extent of this recovery. 2. Specific stroke events occurring in individuals with underlying genetic or biological risk factors can cause further declines in brain heath, leading to changes in thinking and memory abilities after stroke. 3. Studying thinking and memory alongside brain imaging and blood samples in patients who have had a stroke allows for earlier identification of declining brain health and development of individualized treatment plans to improve patient outcomes in the future.
