NCT ID NCT07458815
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This pilot study tests whether high-dose vitamin D can help the body clear blood clots in the brain after a hemorrhagic stroke. Forty adults with a recent brain bleed will receive either vitamin D or standard care. Researchers will measure how fast the blood clot shrinks and check for side effects like high calcium levels.
