Brain bleed surgery within 8 hours
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This trial tests a minimally invasive surgery to remove blood from the brain in people who had a bleeding stroke. It aims to see if doing this quickly can help patients recover better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You had a bleeding stroke in the upper part of the brain, confirmed by a brain scan.
- You can start treatment within 6 hours of the stroke and have surgery within 8 hours.
- The amount of bleeding is between 20 and 80 milliliters.
- Your stroke symptoms are serious enough (score of 8 or higher on a standard stroke scale).
- You are not fully unconscious (score of 8 or higher on a coma scale).
- You do not have other causes for the bleeding like an aneurysm, tumor, or head injury.
- You do not have severe kidney or liver disease, or other serious health problems that could affect recovery.
- You are not taking blood thinners like warfarin or low-molecular-weight heparin.
- You are not allergic to tranexamic acid (a medication used to reduce bleeding).

This trial tests whether removing a certain type of brain bleed (intracerebral hemorrhage) very early, using a minimally invasive surgery approach, improves outcomes compared with standard treatment. It may help people whose bleed is large enough and who can have surgery within a strict time window.
This trial tests whether removing the brain bleed with a small camera-guided surgery and giving a steroid medicine early can help people recover better. It is for people who have had a bleed in the outer part of the brain within the last day.
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 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 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.
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.
