Compares treatment options for Intra Cerebral Hemorrhage
Official title Ultra-Early, Minimally inVAsive intraCerebral Haemorrhage evacUATion Versus Standard trEatment
ClinicalTrials.gov ID: NCT04434807
What this study is testing
- What it's testing
- A randomized controlled trial of ultra-early, minimally invasive, hematoma evacuation versus standard care within 8 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage. Patients presenting to the emergency department with stroke due to supratentorial, spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage \>20mL volume will be assessed to determine their eligibility for randomization into the trial.

Who can take part
Ages 18 and older
You may be able to join if
- Patients with an acute supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) ≥20mL in volume
- Age ≥18 years
- Surgery can commence within 8 hours of symptom onset (the time the patient was last known to be well) or, in patients with wake-up onset, within 8...
- Moderate neurological deficit (NIHSS≥6)
- Pre-stroke mRS ≤3 (independent function or requiring only minor domestic assistance and able to manage alone for at least 1 week).
You likely can't join if
- Brainstem ICH
- ICH secondary to trauma, where brain injury is judged more likely to be due to the broad effects of trauma rather than the focal ICH.
- Hereditary or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis or coagulation factor deficiency (in liver disease, INR\>1.4).
- Platelet count \<75,000
- Unreversible heparinization or anticoagulation. If reversing warfarin, INR should be ≤1.4 before procedure commences. Reversal of heparin by...
- Recent (\<12 hours) parenteral GPIIb/IIIa antagonist.

- Recent (\<12 hours) parenteral GPIIb/IIIa antagonist.
- Recent (\<1 hour) thrombolysis. If the ICH has occurred between 1 and 12 hours following thrombolysis, cryoprecipitate (1U per 10kg) and tranexamic acid must be administered prior to treatment.
- Participation in any investigational study in the last 30 days
- Pregnant women (clinically evident)
- Co-morbidities or advance care directive preventing general anaesthesia for the procedure.
- Known terminal illness such that the patients would not be expected to survive a year.
- Planned withdrawal of care or comfort care measures.
- Any condition that, in the judgment of the investigator could impose hazards to the patient if study therapy is initiated or affect the participation of the patient in the study.
