Brain-Wash breakthrough? new trial takes on deadly ventriculitis
NCT ID NCT06358209
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tests whether washing out infected fluid from the brain's cavities (ventricular irrigation) can improve survival and recovery in people with severe ventriculitis, a life-threatening brain infection. About 310 adults aged 18-65 with confirmed ventriculitis will be randomly assigned to receive either standard antibiotic treatment or standard treatment plus ventricular irrigation. The goal is to see if the irrigation procedure leads to higher cure rates and fewer long-term problems like brain damage or epilepsy.
