Intensive care protocol aims to tame brain hemorrhage in first critical hours

NCT ID NCT06648369

First seen Jul 02, 2026 ยท Last updated Jul 02, 2026

Summary

This trial investigates a 'maximal medical treatment' bundle for people with intracerebral hemorrhage (bleeding in the brain). The bundle includes rapid blood pressure control, reversal of blood thinners, and a drug to reduce bleeding, all delivered within the first 72 hours in a high-dependency unit. The study enrolls adults with non-traumatic brain bleeding within 6 hours of symptom onset and aims to see if this intensive approach is feasible and safe. If it works, it could lead to better outcomes for a condition that currently has limited treatment options.

What this could mean

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

Active substance
MAX-ICH care bundle (intensive blood pressure control, anticoagulation reversal, tranexamic acid)
What this could lead to
If successful, this approach could become a standard treatment to reduce disability and death from intracerebral hemorrhage.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study focused on feasibility, not yet on proving effectiveness. The intensive protocol may be difficult to implement in all hospitals.
