NCT03342664

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this multicenter randomized controlled study is to compare the safety and efficacy of minimally invasive hematoma evacuation with the Artemis Neuro Evacuation Device to best medical management for the treatment of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Global Disability (Functional Outcome) Assessed Via the Ordinal Modified Rankin Score (mRS)

    Modified Rankin scale measures degree of disability or functional impairment on a scale of 0 (no symptoms) to 5 (severe disability), 6 (expired), where higher scores mean a worse outcome

    180 days

  • Rate of Mortality

    30 days

Secondary Outcomes (9)

  • Functional Outcomes Measured Via Utility Weighted Modified Rankin Score (mRS)

    180 days

  • Functional Outcomes Measured Via Modified Ordinal Rankin Score (mRS)

    365 days

  • Quality of Life Assessed Via Stroke Impact Scale

    180 and 365 days

  • VAS Quality of Life Assessed Via EQ-5D-5L

    180 and 365 days

  • Length of Hospital Stay

    Admission to hospital discharge (up to one year)

  • +4 more secondary outcomes

Study Arms (2)

Artemis + Medical Management (MIS)

EXPERIMENTAL

Minimally invasive hematoma evacuation with the Artemis Neuro Evacuation Device with medical management

Device: Artemis + Medical Management

Best Medical Management Alone (MM)

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Best medical management alone per standard of care at treating institution

Other: Best Medical Management Alone (MM)

Interventions

Subject will receive best MM in addition to the MIS procedure with Artemis.

Also known as: MIS + MM
Artemis + Medical Management (MIS)

Subject will receive best MM for ICH as determined by stroke physician following AHA/ESO guidelines.

Also known as: MM, Control
Best Medical Management Alone (MM)

Eligibility Criteria

Age18 Years - 80 Years
Sexall
Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsAdult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Patient age ≥ 18 and ≤ 80
  • Supratentorial ICH of volume ≥ 20 and ≤ 80 cc (measured using A x B X C/2 method)
  • Hemostasis as confirmed by no arterial spot sign (may perform additional scan(s) every 6 hours to demonstrate hemostasis)
  • NIHSS ≥ 6
  • GCS ≥ 5 and ≤ 15
  • Historical mRS 0 or 1
  • Symptom onset \< 24 hours prior to initial CT/MR
  • MIS must be initiated within 72 hours of ictus/bleed
  • SBP must be \< 180 mmHg and controlled at this level for at least 6 hours

You may not qualify if:

  • Imaging
  • "Arterial Spot Sign" identified on final CTA indicating expanding hemorrhage
  • Hemorrhagic lesion such as a vascular malformation (cavernous malformation, AVM etc.), aneurysm, and/or neoplasm
  • Hemorrhagic conversion of an underlying ischemic stroke
  • Infratentorial hemorrhage
  • Primary thalamic ICH (where the center of the hemorrhage emulates from the thalamus)
  • Associated intra-ventricular hemorrhage requiring treatment for IVH-related mass effect or shift due to trapped ventricle (EVD for ICP management is allowed)
  • Midbrain extension/involvement
  • Absolute contraindication to CTA, conventional angiography and MRA
  • Coagulation Issues
  • Absolute requirement for long-term anti-coagulation (e.g., mechanical valve replacement (bio-prostatic valve is permitted), high risk atrial fibrillation)
  • Known hereditary or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulation factor deficiency
  • Platelet count \< 100 x 10\^3 cells/mm3 or known platelet dysfunction
  • INR \> 1.4, elevated prothrombin time or activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT), which cannot be corrected or otherwise accounted for (i.e., lupus anti-coagulant)
  • Use of direct factor Xa inhibitors (e.g. apixaban, rivaroxaban, fondaparinux) within last 48 hours
  • +12 more criteria
