NCT ID NCT05970549
First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 22, 2026 · Updated 18 times
Summary
This study is testing a special catheter called IRRAflow that both drains fluid and actively irrigates the brain to remove blood after a hemorrhage. The trial will compare this device to standard catheters in 17 adults with intraventricular hemorrhage. Researchers want to see if it reduces leftover blood and improves hospital outcomes.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
IRRAflow® Active Fluid Exchange System (a special catheter that irrigates and drains fluid from the brain)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a safer and more effective way to remove blood from the brain after a hemorrhage, potentially leading to better recovery and shorter hospital stays.
What could go wrong
This is a very small early-stage study with only 17 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The device is already FDA-approved, but its advantage over standard catheters is unproven, and there are always risks with brain procedures like infection or bleeding.
As listed by the trial registrant
