Washing out severe brain bleeds in newborns
Part of Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This trial tests a treatment called neuroendoscopic lavage—a way to wash out a severe brain bleed in newborns using a tiny camera. It may help prevent fluid buildup and brain damage. Doctors want to see if it works better than regular care for babies under one month old with this condition.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your baby must be 28 days old or younger.
- Your baby must have a severe brain bleed (Grade III or IV on a standard classification).
- Your baby must not have a major brain malformation like Dandy-Walker or holoprosencephaly.
- Your baby must not have an active brain infection (like meningitis).
- Your baby must not have a bleeding problem that cannot be fixed before surgery.
- A parent or guardian must sign a consent form.

This study uses advanced MRI scans to look at the brains of newborns who have had bleeding in the brain (IVH) and developed a condition called PHVD (fluid buildup after bleeding). The goal is to learn more about the brain and how it is affected, which could help improve care for these babies.
This trial studies better ways to prevent, catch early, and treat brain bleeds in premature babies. It focuses on babies who already have a brain bleed that causes fluid buildup (hydrocephalus) but haven't received any drainage treatment yet.
This study looks at the outcomes of brain bleeding (intraventricular hemorrhage) in very premature babies. It aims to understand how these babies do and what helps them, which may lead to better care.
This study looks at using two noninvasive tools on very preterm newborns to better predict whether an intraventricular hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain’s fluid spaces) may happen. If successful, it could help doctors spot risk earlier and monitor or treat babies sooner.
This trial studies whether a minimally invasive, image-guided endoscopic procedure can remove blood after a specific type of brain bleed. It may help reduce symptoms and improve outcomes compared with standard care, but you must meet timing and medical criteria.
This trial tests a type of keyhole surgery called neuroendoscopic surgery to remove large blood clots in the brain. It may help people who have had a serious brain bleed and need urgent surgery.
