Brain bleed breakthrough? continuous drug infusion may speed recovery
NCT ID NCT07643493
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Aug 07, 2026 · Updated 6 times
Summary
This study tests if giving a clot-busting drug continuously into the brain's fluid spaces can clear blood faster after a brain bleed. About 80 adults with a bleed inside the brain's chambers will receive either the continuous infusion or standard care. The goal is to see if this approach speeds up blood clearance and improves daily function.
