Could a cystic fibrosis drug help brain bleed survivors walk again?

NCT ID NCT06723717

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study tests whether giving dornase alfa (a drug already used for cystic fibrosis) daily for up to 14 days after a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm can help people recover better. The goal is to see if more patients can live independently at 6 months. The trial will enroll 304 adults and compares the drug to standard care.

What this could mean

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

Active substance

dornase alfa (Pulmozyme®)

What this could lead to

If it works, this could offer a new treatment to prevent delayed brain damage after a ruptured aneurysm, helping more survivors regain independence.

What could go wrong

This is a Phase 2 trial with 304 participants, so results are still early. The drug has not been proven for this condition, and there is no guarantee it will improve outcomes.
