About this study

Official title: Effect of Molar Sodium Lactate Filling on Cerebral Hemodynamics in Patients With Severe Meningeal Hemorrhage Multicenter Randomized Study

Subarachnoid hemorrhage by aneurysmal rupture is a serious condition associated with a high mortality rate. Among the complications presented by these patients, vasospasm is one of the main causes of secondary aggravation, in particular the appearance of delayed neurological deficits following the induced cerebral ischemia. Classically occurring between the 4th and 12th day, with a peak on D7, its prevention is currently often ineffective.

In recent years, many studies have shown that sodium lactate could be an interesting product for neuroprotection. In addition to an anti-osmotic effect that has been demonstrated by our team in the context of post-traumatic intracranial hypertension, a metabolic action has also been observed in periods of metabolic attacks induced by brain attacks. Recently, a vasodilatory action of sodium lactate has been observed from an experimental and clinical point of view.

The purpose of this work is to observe the effect of sodium lactate, compared to placebo, on cerebral hemodynamics measured by perfusion CT (Mean Transit Time MTT) in a population of patients with hemorrhage under the arachnoid.

This work is the preliminary work of a study that will investigate the potential preventive protective effect of sodium lactate on the incidence of vasospasm.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Molar Sodium Lactate and physiological serum in people with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, Aneurysmal, run by Centre Hospitalier Universitaire de Nice at 3 sites in France.

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 5 inclusion and 8 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 26 May 2026. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in France. 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. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: The treatments are no longer available.). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

median transit time (MTT) (time frame: 7 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 26 May 2026.
