About this study

The project aims at investigating if treatment with the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme inhibitor Coversyl (perindopril) for 3 months after surgery for chronic subdural hematoma will decrease the risc of recurrence.

Read the detailed description

Previous studies have indicated that treatment with ACE inhibitors can reduce the risk of recurrence of CSDH after surgical evacuation. This randomized clinical trial was designed to investigate this

What is being measured

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

    Volume of CSDH remnant three months after evacuation measure using xyz/2 on CT scans

    Measured: 3 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Composition of Chronic Subdural Hematoma Fluid

    Post-Hoc Outcome Measure

    Measured: years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Perindopril in people with Hematoma, Subdural, Chronic, run by Odense University Hospital.

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 2 inclusion and 11 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 19 Aug 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

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.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 19 Aug 2020). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Size of Chronic Subdural Hematoma (CSDH) (time frame: 3 months). 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 Aug 2020.
