First seen Jan 09, 2026 · Last updated May 09, 2026 · Updated 17 times

Summary

This study tests whether Diroximel Fumarate, a drug already used for multiple sclerosis, can reduce harmful brain swelling that often occurs after a hemorrhagic stroke (a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain). The swelling can worsen recovery, and there is currently no specific treatment for it. The trial will involve 192 adults who have had this type of stroke, giving them the drug or a placebo within 48 hours of symptoms starting, and then monitoring their brain swelling and recovery over six months.
