DELP for Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke
Cerebral HemorrhageDelipid Extracorporeal Lipoprotein filter from Plasma (DELP) has been found to improve neurological function and life ability of AIS patients and approved for the treatment of AIS by China Food and Drug Administration (CFDA). Our recent study imply that the neuroprotective effect of DELP involved multiple neuroprotective mechanism such as anti-inflammation, free radical scavenging, and decreasing MMP-9. Based on the multiple mechanisms, we argue that DELP may exert neuroprotective effect on acute cerebral hemorrhage.
Impact of Fever Prevention in Brain Injured Patients
FeverIschemic Stroke2 moreThis study will assess the impact of fever prevention on fever burden and short- and long-term neurologic outcomes in brain injured patients. Half of the subjects will undergo fever prevention using a targeted temperature management system and half of the subjects will be treated for fever should it develop.
REpeated ASSEssment of SurvivorS in Intracerebral Hemorrhage Study
Intra Cerebral HemorrhageICH - Intracerebral Hemorrhage10 moreThe investigators propose to perform serial detailed cognitive, motor, behavioral, and blood collection follow-up using longitudinal structured telephone interviews of an anticipated 350 ICH survivors enrolled in Minimally Invasive Surgery Plus Alteplase for Intracerebral Hemorrhage Evacuation (MISTIE) III and ENRICH trials to identify specific cognitive and motor impairment and to perform RNA sequencing to evaluate for evidence of chronic inflammation. The investigators' expected sample size in 2022 accounts for mortality attrition of 10%/year.
ADVANCE- Automated Detection and Volumetric Assessment of ICH
Intracerebral HemorrhageTo evaluate the performance of the Viz ICH VOLUME algorithm.
Assessment of Intracerebral Hematoma
Intracerebral HematomaThe study will assess acute intracerebral hematoma expansion within the first 48 hours from the onset using transcranial duplex sonography in patients who have acute intracerebral hematoma , and will also assess the correlation between the transcranial duplex sonography measurements and the clinical outcome of these patients .
A Proof of Concept Study to Evaluate CN-105 in ICH Patients
Intracerebral HemorrhageA multicenter, open-label phase 2a trial of CN-105 in patients with supratentorial intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Patients will be evaluated for eligibility within 12 hours of symptom onset. Eligible participants (approximately 60) will receive CN-105 administered intravenously (IV) for a 30-minute infusion every 6 hours for up to a maximum of 3 days (13 doses) or until discharge (if earlier than 3 days). Participants will be monitored daily throughout the Treatment phase of the study (up to a maximum of 5 days) and will receive standard-of-care treatment for the duration of the study. Additional protocol assessments will be required during the Treatment phase. After discharge from the hospital, participants will enter a 3-month Follow-up phase, with a clinic visit at 30 days and a follow-up telephone interview with telephone-validated Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 90 days after first dose of study agent.

Glibenclamide Advantage in Treating Edema After Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral HemorrhageThe purpose of the present study is to explore the efficacy of small doses of oral glibenclamide on brain edema after acute primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and improving the prognosis of patients.
Triple Therapy Prevention of Recurrent Intracerebral Disease EveNts Trial (TRIDENT) Cognitive Sub-Study...
Cognitive DeclineIntracerebral Hemorrhage5 moreA Sub-Study of an investigator initiated and conducted, multicentre, international, double-blinded, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, randomised controlled trial (TRIDENT) to determine the effect of more intensive long-term blood pressure control, provided by a fixed low-dose combination blood pressure lowering pill ("Triple Pill") strategy on top of standard of care, for slowing memory decline as measured by Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB), in patients with a history of acute stroke due to intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH).
China Stroke Registry for Patients With Traditional Chinese Medicine
Ischemic StrokeIntracerebral HemorrhageThe CASES-TCM study is a prospective, multicenter, observational study, which will enroll 20,000 patients with acute stroke (ischemic stroke or intracerebral hemorrhage) within 7 days of symptom onset. This study attempts to depict major clinical characteristics of acute stroke in patients with Chinese medicine treatment and to explore any difference compared with other non-Chinese medicine use cohorts and the effectiveness and safety of Chinese medicine.
Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) as Transfusion Indicator in Neurocritical Patients
Traumatic Brain InjurySubarachnoid Hemorrhage1 moreNeurocritical ill patients are frequently transfused. Red blood cell transfusion (RBCT) in these patients has been associated with deleterious effects, including higher rates of nosocomial infections, multi-organ failure, and mortality. Therefore, it seems crucial to avoid any unnecessary RBCT. Most critically ill patients tolerate hemoglobin levels near 7 g/dL without an increase in morbidity or mortality rates. In this regard, a recent sub-analysis of TRICC trial has showed that TBI patients may tolerate hemoglobin levels as low as 7 g/dL, but other studies including neurocritical patients suggested that severe anemia may worsen clinical outcome. Therefore, optimal hemoglobin levels in neurocritical care patients remain largely unknown. Some textbooks and guidelines recommend to transfuse these patients to reach hemoglobin levels near to 10 g/dL, despite the lack of a solid scientific background supporting this target. Even though it has not been demonstrated, hemoglobin-based RBCT prescription could result in over- or under-transfusion in neurocritical patients. Alternatively, it has been suggested that more physiological transfusion triggers, using direct signals coming from the brain, will progressively replace arbitrary hemoglobin-based transfusion triggers in the neurocritical patients [65]. At the neurocritical units, patients are often monitored by using non-invasive methods, such as near infrared spectroscopy which indirectly measures regional cerebral oxygen saturation (rSO2). Changes in rSO2 values have been shown to directly correlate with changes in erythrocyte mass, thus increasing with RBCT and decreasing with blood losses. Moreover, rSO2 values also show a good correlation with clinical outcome and other variables which are often monitored in TBI patients. The purpose of this study is to ascertain as to whether rSO2 levels are more efficacious than conventional hemoglobin levels in guiding RBCT in patients admitted to a neurocritical care unit.
