Active clinical trials for "Hemorrhage"

This trial is a phase III multicentre blinded randomised controlled clinical non-inferiority trial of cryopreserved platelets vs. conventional liquid-stored platelets for the management of surgical bleeding. The aim of the study is to assess the efficacy, safety and cost effectiveness of cryopreserved platelets, compared to conventional liquid-stored platelets, for the management of surgical bleeding. This trial will recruit cardiac surgical patients deemed to be at high risk of surgical bleeding and who may potentially require transfusion of platelets. It is estimated to require 808 high-risk cardiac surgical patients to be recruited, to obtain 202 patients who receive transfused study platelets for surgical bleeding.

This study aims to determine whether in-bed cycle ergometry, early in the hospital course after a brain hemorrhage could balance damaging and reparative inflammation in the brain. Inflammatory factors of two groups of patients with brain hemorrhage will be compared, one group will receive in-bed cycling beginning 3 days after hemorrhage plus usual care and the other group will receive usual care only.

The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a single dose of fingolimod in patients with primary spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating form of stroke, with delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) as a major complication. There are several evidences, both in preclinical and in clinical studies that intraventricular fibrinolysis (IVF) controls the phenomenon that are leading to DCI. Here, the investigators propose to conduct a phase III trial to provide a clear evaluation of the impact of IVF after aneurysmal SAH.

The purpose of this study is to deliver nimodipine via IV directly into the bloodstream and to determine if this is as safe and tolerable as oral nimodipine capsules.

In recent years, many developments have been made to the tools and techniques used to treat IAs via endovascular intervention. Specifically, to the detachable coils themselves. In March 2018, the US Food and Drug administration granted Balt USA 510(k) clearance for the Optima Coil System™. Earlier this year, the list of devices included within the system has expanded to include OptiMAX Complex Super Soft and Complex Soft coils. It consists of coils that come in Standard, Soft and Super Soft profiles and allows for instant detachment from the pusher. The APPLY study is a prospective, single-center investigator-initiated study meant to assess the use of the Balt Optima™ Coil System. The site is looking to enroll approximately 30 subjects over the course of two years. The Optima Coil System™ is commercially available in the United States as such this study is looking for real-world data.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) has a high incidence of mortality and significant morbidity, with mortality exceeding 30% in the first two days.The initial injury is related to increasing intracranial pressure, cerebral edema, and neuronal injuries associated with the release of iron. Iron has been shown to increase the incidence of cerebral edema, ischemia, and formation of hydrocephalus. Deferoxamine mesylate (DFO), a hydrophilic chelator, creates a stable complex with free iron thus preventing the formation of iron related free radicals. This trial will evaluate the safety and efficacy of clinical deferoxamine for the treatment of aSAH for patients that are admitted to the hospital at the University of Michigan or Peking University Health Science Center. Eligible participants will be enrolled and randomized to 1 of 2 doses of Deferoxamine or placebo (saline). Information regarding the patients will be collected and followed for up to 6 months post discharge.

A phase 3 randomized partial blind storage duration ranging study in patients undergoing complex cardiac surgery that will compare the transfusion of cold stored platelets to standard room temperature stored platelets. The primary objective is to establish that cold stored platelets have a non-inferiority (or superiority) to room temperature platelets.

The aim of this pilot study is to provide an assessment of safety and feasibility of early minimally invasive image guided endoscopic hematoma evacuation (within 24 hours of symptom onset) in patients suffering from intracerebral haemorrhage (ICH).

Brain injury after spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage results from pathophysiologic responses in the brain parenchyma due to hematoma formation, release of clot components, and surrounding edema. Inflammatory cascade activation in the perihematomal brain parenchyma has been implicated in the pathogenesis of secondary brain injury. Statins have been identified as a potential neuroprotective agent that targets the inflammatory response to intracerebral hemorrhage. In preclinical studies, statin treatment in animal intracerebral hemorrhage models has consistently demonstrated neuroprotective and recovery enhancement effects. Clinical investigations in humans reported better patient outcomes associated with statin use in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage, including reduced perihematomal edema, lower mortality rates, and improved functional outcomes.
