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 tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove blood clots deep in the brain caused by spontaneous bleeding. It aims to improve recovery for patients who meet specific criteria, such as clot size and time since symptoms started.
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 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.
