  • Calculate the hematoma volume based on the cranial CT scan. The volume should range from 30 to 80 ml, and the shift of the mid - line structure at the pineal gland level should be less than 3 mm. The formula for calculating the hematoma volume is V (cm³)=A * B * C * 1/2, where A represents the longest diameter (cm) of the largest hematoma layer in the horizontal position of the plain CT scan, B is the widest diameter (cm) of the hematoma perpendicular to A on this plane, and C is the thickness (cm) of the hematoma shown in the CT images.

About this study

Official title: A Multicenter, Randomized Controlled Clinical Trial on the Efficacy and Safety of Neuroendoscopic Hematoma Evacuation Combined With Methylprednisolone Sodium Succinate in the Treatment of Basal Ganglia Intracerebral Hemorrhage at the Early Stage.

The aim of this trial is to investigate whether neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined with early use of methylprednisolone sodium succinate can improve the efficacy and safety in the treatment with that of simple neuroendoscopic surgery alone for patients with spontaneous basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage within 24 hours after the onset.

Read the detailed description

There is still a lack of the best evidence-based reference for the treatment of basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage. The ENRICH trial published in 2024 demonstrated that minimally invasive hematoma evacuation might have a better clinical prognosis than standard medical treatment in patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. However, the significant effect of the surgery might be mainly attributed to the intervention in patients with basal ganglia hemorrhage. Besides, simply relying on surgical removal of hematoma may not be sufficient to significantly improve the long-term prognosis of patients. How to effectively control secondary brain injury, reduce cerebral edema and inflammatory response is the key to improving the prognosis of patients with basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage. Methylprednisolone sodium succinate can reduce the disruption of the blood-brain barrier and inflammatory response in animal models of intracerebral hemorrhage, and alleviate brain injury. The results of the MARVEL trial released in 2024 showed that methylprednisolone sodium succinate has demonstrated the potential to reduce the incidence of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and mortality in patients with acute ischemic stroke.

This study aims to systematically evaluate the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined with the early use of methylprednisolone sodium succinate in patients with basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage through a multicenter, prospective, randomized controlled clinical trial. The study will compare the differences in main endpoint indicators such as functional independence, quality of life and survival rate at 3 months and 6 months after surgery between the group receiving surgical treatment combined with methylprednisolone sodium succinate and the group receiving surgical treatment alone, so as to explore the impact of different treatment strategies on the prognosis of patients with basal ganglia intracerebral hemorrhage.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Simple neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuationProcedure or surgery

    For patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage within 24 hours after the onset of the disease, only simple neuroendoscopic evacuation of hematoma will be performed

  • Neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation combined with sodium methylprednisolone succinateCombination product

    For patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage within 24 hours after the onset of the disease, they will be treated with the combination of neuroendoscopic hematoma evacuation and sodium methylprednisolone succinate. Administer sodium methylprednisolone succinate for injection by intravenous injection 6 hours after the onset of the disease. Specific administration: Intravenous injection at a dosage of 2 mg/kg, once daily, for three consecutive days.

What is being measured

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

  1. Modified Rankin scale score (mRS)

    disability level. The presence of impairments determines the transitions from mRS score 0 to mRS score 1 (symptoms) and mRS score 5 to mRS score 6 (death).

    Measured: 180 days

  2. The mortality rate

    evaluate death rate of the two treatment groups

    Measured: 30 days

Secondary outcomes (12)
  1. Proportion of patients non-disabled (Modified Rankin scale score (mRS) 0 to 1)

    excellent outcome

    Measured: 180 days

  2. Proportion of patients functionally independent (Modified Rankin scale score (mRS) 0 to 2)

    functional independence

    Measured: 180 days

  3. Proportion of patients ambulatory or bodily needs-capable or better (Modified Rankin scale score (mRS) 0 to 3)

    ambulatory or bodily needs-capable or better

    Measured: 180 days

  4. Change in National Institute of Health stroke scale (NIHSS) score between baseline and 7~10d or at discharge

    neurological changes. The scoring range is from 0 to 42 points. The higher the score is, the more severe the degree of neurological impairment in patients will be.

    Measured: 7~10 days or at discharge

  5. Change in Glasgow Coma Scale(GCS) between baseline and 7~10d or at discharge

    evaluate the state of consciousness. The scoring range is from 3 to 15 points. The lower the score is, the worse the patient's conscious state will be.

    Measured: 7~10 days or at discharge

  6. Improvement in residual hematoma volume between baseline and 7d or at discharge

    Measured: 7~10 days or at discharge

  7. Barthel Index Score(BI)

    evaluate the Activities of Daily Living.The scoring range is from 0 to 100 points. The lower the score is, the poorer the patient's activities of daily living ability will be.

    Measured: 180 days

  8. European Quality Five Dimensions Five Level scale (EQ-5D-5L)

    Health-related quality of life. The scoring range is from 5 to 25 points. The higher the score is, the poorer the patient's health-related quality of life will be.

    Measured: 180 days

  9. Mortality within 7 days randomly or at discharge

    evaluate death rate of the two treatment groups

    Measured: 7days or at discharge

  10. symptomatic intracranial rebleeding, asymptomatic intracranial rebleeding and intracranial infection

    Measured: within 30 days after randomized

  11. symptomatic intracranial rebleeding, asymptomatic intracranial rebleeding and intracranial infection

    Measured: within 180 days after randomized

  12. severe adverse events

    evaluate complications and any adverse events

    Measured: within 180 days after randomization
