Trial summary

This study is determining the clinical outcomes, based on neurological testing, for the parafascicular minimally invasive clot evacuation technique. We will collect data from the time of surgery up until 90 days post procedure. We will also be looking at financial data as well. Read more about this study

About this study

This study is determining the clinical outcomes, based on neurological testing, for the parafascicular minimally invasive clot evacuation technique. We will collect data from the time of surgery up until 90 days post procedure. We will also be looking at financial data as well.

  • H(0): there is no economic benefit to the system with early surgical intervention for ICH
  • Alternative Hypothesis:H(1) Assuming clinical equipoise, i.e., no benefit in clinical outcome with early surgical intervention (null hypotheses) H(0) is correct), the ability to accelerate the patients care from the entry point to the exit point will result in a significant economic advantage to the system through cost reduction.
Read the detailed description

Patients will be recruited form the neurology and neurosurgery services at OSF Saint Francis Medical Center. Potential subjects will be identified by the study team which will include all investigators and study coordinators. For those patients who have had the Mi Space procedure, the study team will obtain the patients or patient's surrogate consent for clinical data of hospitalization and follow ups. A secured, de-identified log will be kept of all patients screened, and reasons for exclusion will be documented. Around 65% of unselected patients with ICH (not stratified by baseline predicted risk) have a documented 30 day composite outcome of death or dependency under medical management. Reviews of other types of minimally-invasive ICH surgeries provides data that significantly improved outcomes (meta-analysis odds ratio 0.54(0.39, 0.76)). An odds ratio of 0.54 shows a reduction in risk from 65% to about 50% (15% absolute reduction). Assuming the new procedure is at least as effective than current conventional management, 50 patients provides 66% surety that a 95% 1-sided confidence interval will exclude the chance that the new procedure is worse than medical management. Alternatively, a method of framing this, based on an exact one-sided binomial test of a one-sample proportion and an alpha level of 5%, is that a sample size of 50 patients provides approximately 66% surety/power that the new procedure is superior to medical management (i.e., lower than 65% suffering from death or poor functional outcomes). The critical computed value for this particular test, to provide some initial evidence of superiority, are observing no more than 26 patients (out of 50) suffering from death or dependency under the surgical procedure.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. 30-90 day outcomes

    The primary objective is to compare the 30 day and 90 day clinical outcomes of patients who will undergo parafascicular ICH-evacuation procedure compared to historical outcomes (surgical and non-surgical).

    Measured: 30-90 days

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Surgery success rates

    Another objective will be to describe and quantify peri-operative complications following the parafascicular ICH evacuation. We will assess the success rates of; atraumatic access to the hematoma, effective removal of fibrotic clot by measuring residual hematoma, the ability to achieve hemostasis intra-operatively, and to compare postoperative re-bleeding rates against residual clot volume.

    Measured: 30-90 days

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Intracerebral Hemorrhage, run by OSF Healthcare System at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 7 inclusion and 7 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 19 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

30-90 day outcomes (time frame: 30-90 days). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 19 May 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 8 Nov 2026.
