About this study
Official title: Searching a Dysfunction of Corticotropic and Thyrotropin Axis During the Acute Phase ( ≤48h ) of a Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Secondary to Spontaneous Rupture of Cerebral Aneurysm: Impact on the Incidence of Complications and Recovery at 1 Month
Searching a dysfunction of corticotropic and thyrotropin axis during the acute phase ( ≤48h ) of a subarachnoid hemorrhage secondary to spontaneous rupture of cerebral aneurysm. Impact on the incidence of complications and recovery are evaluated at 1 month.
Blood sample are made within 48 hours of the onset of bleeding with assay of total plasma cortisol, plasma ACTH at 8 am and thyroid hormones (T3, free T4 , and TSH). Dynamic test ACTH stimulation (test Synacthene) with renewal of serum cortisol to H + 1 (60min). Evaluation in the first 30 days of the incidence of rebleeding, hydrocephalus, of vasospasm, infection and epilepsy. GOS to 1 month.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A study testing Dynamic test ACTH stimulation in people with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage, run by Rennes University Hospital at 1 site 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 1 inclusion and 2 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 11 Jun 2026. 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 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. 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?
ACTH stimulation test (time frame: 2 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 11 Jun 2026.
