What the study statuses mean

This study's is highlighted.

Recruitment status, easiest to join first

Recruiting now This study
This trial is taking on new participants right now.
Not yet recruiting
Registered, but not yet taking participants.
By invitation only
Not open to general applications. Only people the study team invites can take part.
Paused
Paused for now. It may or may not start again.
Ongoing
Running, but no longer taking on new participants.
Completed
The trial has finished. Results may not be published yet.
Stopped early
Stopped early, before it reached the end. That can be for many reasons, including safety.
Cancelled
Cancelled before anyone took part.

Expanded access (not trials)

Expanded access
Not a trial. This treatment can be requested outside a study, case by case, for people who qualify.
Expanded access (paused)
Not a trial. The treatment can normally be requested outside a study, but is unavailable right now.
Expanded access (ended)
Not a trial. The treatment could once be requested outside a study, but no longer can.
Approved
The treatment has been approved, so it is available normally rather than through this programme.

When the status isn't known

Summary

This study tests whether using a special bladder catheter that continuously measures body temperature can help guide treatment and improve recovery in people with severe brain bleeding. About 318 participants will be randomly assigned to either continuous bladder temperature monitoring or standard armpit temperature checks. The main goal is to see if more people achieve a good functional outcome (able to live independently) 180 days later.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Bladder temperature monitoring device
What this could lead to
If successful, this could show that continuous bladder temperature monitoring helps guide treatment and improves functional recovery after severe brain bleeding.
What could go wrong
This is a relatively early-stage trial (Phase NA) with 318 participants. The intervention is a monitoring device, not a drug, so the potential impact is limited to better temperature management, not a cure. Risks include infections or complications from the catheter.

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Neurocritical care patients: Study subjects are patients with first-time spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. 2. Age ≥ 18 years and ≤ 85 years. 3. Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score ≤ 8 at ICU admission. 4. For supratentorial ICH: Hematoma volume \< 60 mL. For subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH): Modified Fisher grade ≥ 2, and the aneurysm has been treated with endovascular intervention. 5. Pre-morbid modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score of 0 or 1. 6. Signed informed consent provided by a legally authorized representative. Exclusion Criteria: 1. Fever (≥38.0°C) that lasted over 1 hour or occurred more than once prior to enrollment. 2. Pre-existing neurological, psychiatric, or other comorbidities that may compromise the assessment of neurological or functional outcomes. 3. Underlying conditions with a life expectancy of less than 6 months, estimated prior to onset. 4. Severe injury indicative of poor prognosis: brain death, receiving palliative care only, or irreversible brain injury. 5. Pregnancy. 6. Unilateral or bilateral pupillary dilation. 7. Currently participating in other investigational/interventional clinical trials (involving medical devices or drugs). 8. Subjects deemed ineligible for enrollment by the investigator.
