12,000-Person study aims to map recovery after brain bleeds
NCT ID NCT07833410
First seen Sep 22, 2026 · Last updated Sep 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
Researchers in China are running a large observational study to understand what happens to people after an intracerebral hemorrhage, a type of bleeding stroke. The study plans to enroll about 10,000 adults with imaging-confirmed bleeding in the brain and 2,000 healthy adults at more than 30 hospitals. Participants with hemorrhage will be followed for up to 10 years, with check-ins at 3 months, 6 months, and yearly. The study collects clinical, imaging, lifestyle, and treatment data plus blood and urine samples. It does not assign any treatment; doctors continue to decide all care. The main goal is to describe the full range of functional outcomes at 90 days and find factors that predict recovery, recurrence, and death.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If the study identifies reliable markers and prognostic models, doctors could better predict recovery and tailor care for people with intracerebral hemorrhage.
- What could go wrong
- This is an observational study, so it cannot prove cause and effect. Findings may not apply outside China, and long-term follow-up can be incomplete.

Who can take part
This study's own entry requirements. Only the study team can say for certain whether you qualify.
Who is studied
Adults with imaging-confirmed spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage presenting within 30 days after symptom onset to more than 30 participating hospitals in China are recruited consecutively. Adult healthy controls without neurologic disease are recruited from participating health examination programs and communities. The coordinating center is Xiangya Hospital, Central South University, Changsha, China.

Inclusion Criteria - Intracerebral Hemorrhage Cohort: * Age 18 years or older. * Intracerebral hemorrhage confirmed by head computed tomography and/or magnetic resonance imaging. * Hemorrhage located in a deep cerebral region, cerebral lobe, cerebellum, or brainstem. * Presentation to a participating hospital within 30 days after symptom onset. * Written informed consent and broad consent provided in accordance with the ethics-approved process. Exclusion Criteria - Intracerebral Hemorrhage Cohort: * Traumatic intracerebral hemorrhage. * Secondary intracerebral hemorrhage attributed to an arteriovenous malformation, ruptured aneurysm, moyamoya disease, cavernous malformation, hematologic disorder, hemorrhagic tumor, vasculitis, cerebral venous thrombosis, hemorrhagic transformation of cerebral infarction, or other prespecified secondary cause. * Mixed intracerebral hemorrhage involving multiple deep and lobar locations at onset. * Severe psychiatric disease that precludes study procedures or follow-up. * End-stage hepatic or renal failure. * Autoimmune disease judged by the investigator to materially affect study objectives. * Active malignant tumor. * Pregnancy. * Any other condition that the investigator judges makes participation inappropriate. Inclusion Criteria - Healthy Control Cohort: * Age 18 years or older. * Able to provide written informed consent. * No known history of intracerebral hemorrhage. Exclusion Criteria - Healthy Control Cohort: * Malignant tumor. * Neurologic disease, particularly any prior intracerebral hemorrhage. * Any other condition that the investigator judges makes participation inappropriate.
