About this trial

To compare the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic hematoma removal and standard conservative treatment for patients with spontaneous supratentorial deep intracerebral hemorrhage.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Age 18-80 years, either sex.

Time from onset to the first diagnostic CT within 24 hours (for those without bystanders and with unknown onset time, use the last known time the patient was in good condition)

Deep (external capsule, putamen, internal capsule, caudate nucleus) supratentorial cerebral hemorrhage with a hematoma volume ≥ 25 ml.

Stability of the hematoma determined by two CT scans at different times after onset. If the hematoma enlarges 5ml then the stability of the hematoma can be detected by CT again after 6 hours until the randomization time window is closed.

Disqualifiers

Hemorrhage clinically diagnosed as a result of cerebral aneurysm, cerebrovascular malformation, moyamoya disease, traumatic brain injury, brain tumor, hemorrhagic transformation of a large cerebral infarct, coagulation dysfunction.

Lobar hemorrhages, thalamic hemorrhages, primary ventricular hemorrhages, cerebellum hemorrhages and brain stem hemorrhages.

Hematoma involving the midbrain, with dilated or unresponsive pupils.

Hematoma producing life-threatening occupying effects (e.g., CT showing midline deviation of more than 1 cm, loss of cisterna ambiens) or patients who are extremely unstable and unfit for enrollment.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

The proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-3

Functional outcome (comparing the intervention group to the control), assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months.The mRS is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is scored from: 0=No symptoms at all, 1=No significant disability, 2=Slight disability, 3=Moderate disability, 4=Moderately severe disability, 5=Severe disability and 6=death.

Time frame
180 days
2

Safety outcome

All cause mortality from onset to 180 days

Time frame
180 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)

GOS-E subdivides the categories of severe and moderate disability and good recovery using a scale of 1 to 8 where 1 = death, 2 = vegetative state, 3 = lower severe disability, 4 = upper severe disability, 5 = lower moderate disability, 6 = upper moderate disability, 7 = lower good recovery, and 8 = upper good recovery. Structured telephone interviews have been developed and validated for the GOS-E and these questions were incorporated into the follow-up survey. GOS-E was dichotomized into unfavorable (1 to 4) and favorable (5 to 8) outcomes.

Time frame
30 days.

Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)

GOS-E subdivides the categories of severe and moderate disability and good recovery using a scale of 1 to 8 where 1 = death, 2 = vegetative state, 3 = lower severe disability, 4 = upper severe disability, 5 = lower moderate disability, 6 = upper moderate disability, 7 = lower good recovery, and 8 = upper good recovery. Structured telephone interviews have been developed and validated for the GOS-E and these questions were incorporated into the follow-up survey. GOS-E was dichotomized into unfavorable (1 to 4) and favorable (5 to 8) outcomes.

Time frame
90 days.

Structured telephone interviews have been developed and validated for the GOS-E and these questions were incorporated into the follow-up survey.
