2,000 brain bleed patients join hunt for recovery clues
NCT ID NCT07270419
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study enrolls 2,000 adults who had a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. Researchers will collect blood, spinal fluid, urine, and stool samples to analyze genes, proteins, and other molecules. The goal is to understand why some patients develop serious complications like delayed brain injury or pneumonia, and why recovery varies so widely. No new treatment is being tested—this is a fact-finding mission to guide future care.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could reveal new biomarkers to predict complications like delayed brain injury after a brain bleed, pointing toward better monitoring or treatments.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, not a treatment trial. It will not directly improve outcomes, and the findings may not lead to immediate clinical changes.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adult patients (≥18 years) with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) confirmed by CTA, or DSA, whose aneurysms are treated by microsurgical clipping or endovascular coiling within 72 hours after onset. Participants will be consecutively recruited from multiple tertiary neurosurgical centers.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.
Inclusion Criteria: 1. Adult patients aged ≥18 years; 2. Confirmed diagnosis of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) by CTA, or DSA; 3. Aneurysm secured by either microsurgical clipping or endovascular coiling during hospitalization; 4. Time from onset to aneurysm treatment ≤ 72 hours; 5. Availability of biospecimens, including blood, cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), urine, or fecal samples collected during hospitalization; 6. Signed informed consent obtained from the patient or legal representative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. History of previous intracranial aneurysm surgery or embolization; 2. Non-aneurysmal SAH, traumatic SAH, or perimesencephalic non-aneurysmal hemorrhage; 3. Presence of malignancy, severe hepatic or renal dysfunction, or other systemic diseases that may affect survival or biomarker expression; 4. Severe cardiorespiratory insufficiency or unstable medical condition precluding study participation; 5. Pregnancy or lactation; 6. Refusal to participate or withdrawal of consent.
