Propranolol infusion for preventing pneumonia after bleeding stroke
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a drug called propranolol, usually used for blood pressure, to see if it can prevent a complication called SAP (stroke-associated pneumonia) in people who have had a bleeding stroke. The drug is given through an IV within 24 hours of stroke onset.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are between 18 and 80 years old.
- You can start the study drug within 24 hours of stroke symptoms.
- You have a bleeding stroke in the cerebrum (main part of the brain) with a clot size of at least 10 mL.

- You have not had an infection in the last 4 weeks and have not taken antibiotics in the last 2 weeks.

This study tests whether giving a combination of blood-pressure-lowering medicines early after a brain bleed can reduce swelling and improve recovery. It aims to start treatment within 3 days of the bleed to see if it helps limit brain damage.
This study tests a drug called Cerebrolysin, which may help protect the brain after a bleeding stroke. It is given within 6 hours of the stroke, and researchers will check if it is safe and helps improve recovery.
This study looks at how inflammation and the brain's protective barrier are affected after a hemorrhagic stroke. It uses special brain scans to see these changes, which might help guide future care.
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 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 trial tests whether an antibiotic called minocycline can help people who have had a bleeding stroke (intracerebral hemorrhage). The drug may reduce brain swelling and improve recovery. You must start treatment within 24 hours of the bleeding.
