NCT05138341

Brief Summary

This is a feasibility study trial to determine whether hyperacute (≤8 hour) mechanical Minimal Invasive Surgical (MIS) management is feasible and secondarily improves outcome in patients with spontaneous supratentorial intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). Patients meeting the inclusion and exclusion criteria, will be enrolled and randomized to either minimally invasive hematoma evacuation (MIS) or best medical management alone (MM). Subjects will be randomly assigned by a central web-based system in a 3:1 manner to treatment with MIS or MM. Data for each subject will be collected at the time of enrollment and treatment, and at subsequent follow-up visits.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (6)

  • Feasibility of enrolment <=8 hours

    Number of patients eligible for treatment recruited

    Baseline

  • Number of patients with good functional outcome

    Functional outcome assessed via modified Rankin score (mRS). Change from Day 1 to Day 90 will be assessed (0 no symptoms - 5 severe disability)

    Day 1 (baseline), Day 30 and Day 90

  • Quality of life assessment

    Quality of life assessed via NIH Stroke Scale 0: No stroke symptoms 1-4: Minor stroke 5-15: Moderate stroke 16-20: Moderate to severe stroke 21-42: Severe stroke Change from Day 1 to Day 90 will be assessed as well

    Day 1, Day 5 and Day 90

  • Rate of mortality

    Number of deaths

    Day 7

  • Rate of mortality

    Number of deaths

    Day 30

  • Quality of life EQ-5D-5L

    EQ-5D-5L stands for European Quality of Life Five Dimension, the 5-level EQ-5D version (EQ-5D-5L), which was introduced by European Quality of Life Scale group in 2009. EQ-5D-5L is used for self-assessment on activities of daily living. The EQ-5D-5L comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: LEVEL 1: indicating no problem LEVEL 2: indicating slight problems LEVEL 3: indicating moderate problems LEVEL 4: indicating severe problems LEVEL 5: indicating unable to/extreme problems

    Day 90

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Cost-effectiveness analysis

    Day 90

  • Number of patients identifying deferred consent in ICH as acceptable

    1-2 years

Study Arms (2)

Mechanical Minimal Invasive Surgical (MIS) management

EXPERIMENTAL

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

Device: Minimally invasive surgical (MIS) intracranial hemorrhage Evacuation

Best Medical Management (MM)

NO INTERVENTION

Best medical management per standard of care

Interventions

Patients randomized to MIS group will be undergoing an intervention will get Minimal Invasive Surgical treatment. The market approved Artemis Device (MIS group) will be used. The Artemis Device, Aspiration Pump, and endoscope are used to rinse (irrigate) this area and to gently suction out the rinsing fluid and any blood or clot in brain. The Device is also designed to prevent clogging during the suction of fluid and blood.

Eligibility Criteria

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

You may qualify if:

  • CT diagnosed acute spontaneous primary supratentorial ICH.
  • Age \>18 years
  • Baseline ICH volume 20-80 ml, estimated using the standard "A\*B\*C/2"calculation on the baseline CT.
  • NIHSS≥6 and Glasgow Coma Scale score 8-12, on initial screening.
  • Premorbid Modified Rankin score (MRS) ≤1
  • Systolic blood pressure140-180 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) with 160mmHg target according to practice guidelines
  • Randomize and first evacuation attempt ≤8 hours onset using the "last seen normal" principle.
  • Consent obtained from patient or their Substitute Decision Maker prior to enrolment.

You may not qualify if:

  • Infratentorial ICH (Brainstem or cerebellum).
  • ICH secondary to known or suspected trauma, aneurysm, vascular malformation, hemorrhagic conversion of ischemic stroke, venous sinus thrombosis, thrombolytic treatment, tumour, or infection; or an in-hospital ICH or ICH because of any in-hospital procedure or illness.
  • Platelets \<100000, International Normalized ratio (INR)\>1.3 or clotting disorder. Coumadin reversal permitted if not required during hospitalization
  • Serious comorbidities including hepatic, renal, gastroenterologic, respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrinologic, immunologic, and hematologic disease or mechanical valve
  • Impaired brainstem function (bilateral fixed dilated pupils, extensor posturing).
  • Patient considered unstable in opinion of investigator.
  • Positive pregnancy test
