Neuroendoscopic Hematoma Evacuation Combined With Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate in the Treatment of Lobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage at the Early Stage.

A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial on the Efficacy and Safety of Neuroendoscopic Hematoma Evacuation Combined With Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate in the Treatment of Lobar Intracerebral Hemorrhage at the Early Stage.

NCT06921616•Yong Jiang

Summary

The aim of this trial is to investigate whether neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined with early use of methylprednisolone sodium succinate can improve the efficacy and safety in the treatment with that of simple neuroendoscopic surgery alone for patients with spontaneous lobar intracerebral hemorrhage within 24 hours after the onset.

Detailed Description

There is still a lack of the best evidence-based reference for the treatment of lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. The ENRICH trial published in 2024 demonstrated that minimally invasive hematoma evacuation might have a better clinical prognosis than standard medical treatment in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the significant effect of the surgery might be mainly attributed to the intervention in patients with lobar hemorrhage. Besides, simply relying on surgical removal of hematoma may not be sufficient to significantly improve the long-term prognosis of patients. How to effectively control secondary brain injury, reduce cerebral edema and inflammatory response is the key to improving the prognosis of patients with lobar intracerebral hemorrhage. Methylprednisolone sodium succinate can reduce the disruption of the blood-brain barrier and inflammatory response in animal models of intracerebral hemorrhage, and alleviate brain injury. The results of the MARVEL trial released in 2024 showed that methylprednisolone sodium succinate has demonstrated the potential to reduce the incidence of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke. This study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined with the early use of methylprednisolone sodium succinate in patients with lobar intracerebral hemorrhage through a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. The study will compare the differences in main endpoint indicators such as functional independence, quality of life and survival rate at 3 months and 6 months after surgery between the group receiving surgical treatment combined with methylprednisolone sodium succinate and the group receiving surgical treatment alone, so as to explore the impact of different treatment strategies on the prognosis of patients with lobar intracerebral hemorrhage.

Healthy Volunteers

Inclusion Criteria

•1. The age ranges from 18 to 80 years old.
•2. Diagnosed as spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) by cranial computed tomography (CT) examination, with the bleeding site located in the lobar region of the brain.
•3. Calculate the hematoma volume according to the cranial CT examination, which should be within the range of 30 to 80 ml, and the shift of the midline structure at the level of the pineal gland is less than 3 mm. The formula for calculating the hematoma volume V (cubic centimeters) is V = A × B × C × 1/2. Here, A represents the longest diameter (in centimeters) of the largest hematoma layer on the horizontal position of the plain CT scan, B refers to the widest diameter (in centimeters) of the hematoma perpendicular to A on this plane, and C stands for the thickness (in centimeters) of the hematoma shown on the CT film.
•4. The time interval from the onset of the disease to randomization is within 24 hours. In case the actual onset time is not clear, the onset time will be regarded as the time when the subject was last confirmed to be in good health.
•5. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 6 points at the time of randomization.
•6. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score is between 5 and 14 points at the time of randomization.
•7. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score is 0-1 points prior to the onset of the disease.
•8. The patient and his or her legal representative sign the written informed consent form.

Exclusion Criteria

•1. Hemorrhage in other locations (e.g., hemorrhage in infratentorial sites such as the basal ganglia, thalamus, brainstem, or cerebellum).
•2. Hemorrhage due to other causes (e.g., hemorrhage resulting from aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, brain trauma, brain tumor, hemorrhagic transformation of large-area cerebral infarction, hemorrhage caused by amyloid angiopathy, hemorrhage due to coagulation disorders) or complicated by aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation, brain trauma, brain tumor, large-area cerebral infarction, amyloid angiopathy, severe coagulation disorders.
•3. Patients with intraventricular hemorrhage or those in whom intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) has ruptured into the ventricles and who are considered to require external ventricular drainage.
•4. A history of any parenchymal brain hemorrhage or other intracranial subarachnoid, subdural, or epidural hemorrhage and a history of relevant surgeries within the past 30 days.
•5. Patients with genetic or acquired bleeding tendencies, coagulation disorders such as deficiency of coagulation factors.
•6. Platelet count \< 75 × 10⁹/L.
•7. Undergoing anticoagulant drug treatment with warfarin, dabigatran, or rivaroxaban, etc. within one week before enrollment, and having an international normalized ratio (INR) \> 1.4.
•8. Expected to require long-term anticoagulation and antiplatelet therapy.
•9. A history of previous internal hemorrhage, with risks of gastrointestinal bleeding (such as gastrointestinal ulcers), genitourinary bleeding, or respiratory tract bleeding that has not been fully controlled.
•10. Myocardial infarction occurring within the past 30 days.
