Early minimally invasive clot removal for brain hemorrhage
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests if removing a large brain clot early using a small tube and clot-dissolving medicine can improve recovery after a hemorrhagic stroke. It is for people with a moderate to large bleed who can start treatment within 12 hours of symptoms.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had a brain hemorrhage confirmed by a CT scan, with a clot size of at least 20 mL
- Treatment can start within 8 hours of your stroke symptoms (or when you were last known to be well) and the procedure done within 4 hours after starting the study
- Before this stroke, you were able to carry on all usual activities without help (modified Rankin Score 0 or 1)
- You or your legal representative agrees to join the study

This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery (soft channel drainage) to remove a large blood clot deep in the brain after a stroke. It is for people who can have the procedure within 48 hours of bleeding and whose consciousness is reduced but not completely gone.
This trial tests a less invasive surgery to remove small blood clots (20–30 ml) in the basal ganglia, a deep part of the brain. It may help people who are awake but have a reduced level of consciousness after a recent brain bleed.
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 a new disposable tube with a camera (endoscope) that doctors use to remove a blood clot from the brain after a bleeding stroke. It is designed for people who are stable enough for surgery and whose bleed is in a part of the brain that is reachable with this tool.
This study tests whether a minimally invasive surgery can safely remove a deep brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) to improve recovery. It aims to see if this gentler approach helps people with moderate-sized bleeds do better than standard care.
This trial tests a rapid procedure to remove a blood clot in the brain after a specific type of stroke. It might help people with a moderate-sized bleed in the front part of the brain if treatment can start within 24 hours.
