First seen Nov 05, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 30 times

Summary

This study tests a drug called deferoxamine in people who have had a severe type of stroke caused by a burst brain aneurysm. The drug works by removing extra iron that can damage the brain after the bleeding. Researchers want to see if it helps patients recover better over six months. About 120 adults will be randomly assigned to receive either the drug or a placebo.
