May 8, 2024 updated by: Rong Hu, MD, Southwest Hospital, China

Efficacy and Safety of NeuroEndoscopic Surgery for IntraCerebral Hemorrhage: a Randomised, Controlled, Open-label, Blinded Endpoint Trial

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

Study Overview

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

Neuroendoscopic treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is more and more widely used, but multi-center clinical study on the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic treatment of ICH is relatively small. Based on the lack of sufficient clinical evidence, the investigators plan to conduct a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of neuroendoscopy in the treatment of spontaneous cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, so as to provide evidence-based medical evidence for endoscopic minimally invasive treatment of cerebral hemorrhage and its application.The aim of trial was to determine whether the endoscopic surgery could achieve the benefits of clot evacuation and improve functional outcome at 180 days after ICH without procedure-related safety events or additional brain injury beyond the risks associated with standard care

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
The proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-3
Time Frame: 180 days
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.
180 days
Safety outcome

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)
Time Frame: 30 days.
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.

Quality of life measured with the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L)
Time Frame: 30 days.
The EQ-5D-5L is a standard measure of health-related quality of life.EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and a visual analog scale (VAS). EQ-5D health state profile comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. The 5D-5L systems are converted into a single index utility score between 0 to 1, where a higher score indicates a better health state. The VAS records the participant's health on a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with 0 indicating "the worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicating "the best health you can imagine". Higher scores of EQ VAS indicate better health.
