When to thin blood after brain bleed? new trial seeks answer
NCT ID NCT06753786
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks at 200 people who had a bleeding stroke caused by high blood pressure. Doctors want to know if starting blood thinners (heparin) early—within 2 days—or waiting until day 3 is safer and better at preventing blood clots in the legs or lungs. Participants get brain scans and leg ultrasounds to check for clot formation or bleeding expansion.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- heparin (unfractionated or low molecular weight)
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could establish the safest time to start blood thinners in bleeding stroke patients to prevent dangerous clots without worsening brain bleeding.
- What could go wrong
- This is a single-center trial with 200 participants, so results may not apply broadly. Both timing strategies carry bleeding risks, and the study may not find a clear winner.
