First seen Nov 06, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 38 times
Summary
This study tests an oral drug called deferiprone in people who have had a brain bleed from a ruptured aneurysm. The drug aims to safely remove excess iron that builds up after the bleed and may cause memory loss and brain damage. About 66 adults will receive either the drug plus standard care or standard care alone, and researchers will measure iron levels in spinal fluid, brain scans, and thinking skills over time.
