Study summary

The study is an observational prospective evaluation of an approved and unchanged clinical management, evaluating different diagnosis methods to assess brain perfusion in patients with an aneurysmal or AVM-related intracranial hemorrhage

Study population

Patients who fit the inclusion criteria (suffered a non-traumatic (aneurysmal, AVM-related, unknown cause) intracranial hemorrhage) will be included prospectively.

The deadline for data collection November, 2031 Data analysis will be performed when judged necessary by the investigators.

Eligibility criteria

i. Inclusion Criteria

  1. Age ≥ 18 years
  2. Non-traumatic intracranial hemorrhage (subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to a ruptured aneurysm or AVM, unknown cause, per procedural bleed)
  3. In case of ruptured aneurysm, AVM or other etiology : need to be secured with surgical clipping or endovascular intervention if judged possible
  4. No to perfusion imaging
  5. Subject or legal representative is able and willing to give .

ii. Exclusion Criteria

  1. Traumatic intracranial hemorrhage
  2. Contra-indication to imaging or patient's refusal.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Groups and cohorts

  • Evolution of brain imaging in Non-traumatic Intracranial Hemorrhage

    This study will use an established local protocol for DCI and intracranial arterial vasospastic stenosis screening, and follow-up to make sure that all patients have the same protocol and don't lose any chance of improvement and good outcome

    Diagnostic Test: Brain computed tomography

Interventions

  • Diagnostic testBrain computed tomography

    This study will use an established local protocol for DCI and intracranial arterial vasospastic stenosis screening, and follow-up to make sure that all patients have the same protocol and don't lose any chance of improvement and good outcome : CT perfusion at different time intervals

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Change in brain hypoperfusion

    Brain hypoperfusion in arterial territories assessed by the delays on perfusion Time to drain (seconds) on CT and/or MR perfusion

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

Secondary outcomes

  1. Change in vessel size

    Change in the vessel size measured on digital subtraction angiography (DSA) and computed tomography angiogram (CTA) in millimeters

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  2. Time to next endovascular intervention for vasospastic stenosis

    Delay between two procedures for the same indication

    Time frame: Number of days after the endovascular procedure until the next procedure in days, up to 4 weeks

  3. Transcranial Doppler

    Reduction in intracranial vasospasm assessed by the targeted vessel velocity in meters per second

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  4. Brain Hypoperfusion 2

    Reduction in brain hypoperfusion assessed by the volumes on different perfusion parameters time to peak (in seconds) on CT and/or MR perfusion

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  5. Change in Glasgow coma scale

    Glasgow coma scale (GCS between 3 and 15, a higher score means a better outcome)

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  6. Change in National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score

    National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS between 0 and 42, a higher score means a worse outcome)

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  7. Change in the monitoring of tissue oxygen pressure (PtiO2)

    Monitoring of tissue oxygen pressure (PtiO2)

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  8. Change in the number of new ischemic lesions

    Number of new ischemic lesions on non-contrast CT scan

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9, 21 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  9. modified Rankin Scale at 3 months

    clinical evolution (mRS between 0 and 6, a higher score means a worse outcome)

    Time frame: 3 months after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  10. Change in brain hypoperfusion 3

    Brain hypoperfusion in arterial territories assessed by the delays on perfusion parameters TMax maps in seconds on CT and/or MR perfusion

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

  11. Change in brain hypoperfusion 4

    Brain hypoperfusion in arterial territories assessed by the delays on perfusion parameters Mean transit time on CT and/or MR perfusion in seconds

    Time frame: Change between day 0, 5, 9 after Intracranial Hemorrhage

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Feb 21, 2024, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
