Study of ulinastatin to prevent stroke after brain tumor surgery
Treatments studied
Part of Brain & nervous system, Cancer, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study tests whether a medication called ulinastatin, given during and after brain tumor surgery, can help prevent stroke. Stroke is a known risk after this type of surgery, and the medication may protect the brain during the operation.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have a brain tumor in the upper part of your brain that needs surgery
- You are in generally good health (American Society of Anesthesiologists class I, II, or III)
- You do not have a severe allergy to ulinastatin
- Your liver and kidneys work well enough (not in Child-Pugh class C or with very low kidney function)
- You do not have a severe bleeding disorder
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding

This trial compares different blood pressure management strategies during abdominal tumor surgery to see which one better protects cognitive function (thinking, memory, and clarity). It is for patients who have multiple stroke risk factors and are undergoing a lengthy surgery.
This study looks at whether giving preventive “stress ulcer” stomach medicines to people having a clot-removal procedure for an acute stroke affects outcomes. It may help determine if this common prevention step improves recovery or reduces complications after treatment.
This study tests if a medicine called tirofiban (which helps prevent blood clots) can improve recovery after a brain aneurysm rupture. It is for people who have had their aneurysm treated with a coil and are at risk of a delayed stroke.
This trial studies whether a special form of ultrasound through the skull can improve recovery after a spontaneous brain bleed that requires minimally invasive surgery. It may help by targeting the damaged brain tissue after evacuation, and the study will follow participants for up to a year.
This trial tests whether two anti-inflammatory drugs, ulinastatin and thymosin α1, can help protect your immune system and organs after emergency surgery for a torn aorta (aortic dissection). If you qualify and take part, you may receive these medications in addition to standard care.
This study tests if giving a simple saline (salt water) drip after the standard clot-busting medicine helps improve recovery in people who had a stroke from a clot. It may be a safe, low-cost way to support brain healing.
