Blood thinner timing study for bleeding stroke patients
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation, Lungs & breathing clinical trials.
This study looks at when it is safest to start blood thinners to prevent blood clots (deep vein thrombosis) after a type of bleeding stroke called hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Researchers want to find the best time to start this prevention treatment.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have had a bleeding stroke caused by high blood pressure (hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage).
- Your bleeding did not get bigger in the first 12 to 24 hours after coming to the hospital.
- You have not been on a blood thinner (like warfarin, apixaban, or rivaroxaban) before or on the day you came to the hospital.
- You did not need surgery for your bleeding stroke before starting the prevention blood thinners.
- You do not have a known blood clot (like in your leg or lung) when you arrive at the hospital.
- You survive at least the first 2 days in the hospital, and you do not have active cancer.

This Phase 3 study tests whether a blood thinner (apixaban) can help prevent another stroke and support recovery after you’ve had a brain bleed. You would be assigned to a treatment group, and the study checks safety and whether strokes can be reduced without causing dangerous bleeding.
This study tests a decision aid to help patients who have had a first unprovoked or mildly provoked blood clot decide how long to continue taking blood thinners. It may help you feel more confident in your treatment choices.
This trial looks at whether starting brain surgery within 8 hours after a type of stroke called intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain) can improve outcomes. It’s for adults with a certain amount and location of bleeding and without common causes like an aneurysm or malformation.
This study tests whether taking a blood thinner after a stroke is safe and helpful for people who have atrial fibrillation (an irregular heartbeat) and have had a bleeding stroke in the past. It aims to prevent future strokes while managing the risk of another brain bleed.
This trial is testing the best time to start blood thinners (anticoagulation) after emergency stroke treatment in people who have atrial fibrillation. It is for patients who had a certain type of bleeding in the brain after the procedure.
This study looks at the safest time to restart a blood thinner after a traumatic brain bleed. You will be placed in one of two groups: one that restarts the medicine early (about 1 week after the injury) and another that restarts it later (about 4 weeks after).
