Robot-Guided surgery plus Clot-Busting drug aims to improve brain bleed recovery

NCT ID NCT03957707

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

Summary

This study tests whether a combination of stereotactic (computer-guided) surgery and a clot-dissolving drug can help people recover from a deep brain hemorrhage. The trial enrolls 380 adults with small-to-moderate bleeds in the basal ganglia who have significant disability. The goal is to see if this precise, personalized approach leads to better functional independence compared 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

stereotactic surgery plus thrombolytic agent

What this could lead to

If successful, this could establish a standard minimally invasive procedure to improve functional independence after a deep brain hemorrhage.

What could go wrong

This is a mid-stage trial without a placebo control, and results may not apply to larger bleeds or all patients. Surgery carries risks of infection, rebleeding, or incomplete clot removal.
