About this study

Official title: Sterotactic Operation Integrating With Thrombolysis in Basal Ganglion Hemorrhage Evacuation: a Randomized Controlled Trial.

Spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage is one of the main causes of death and disability all over the world, accounting for 20%-30% of all cerebrovascular diseases. Minimally invasive surgery of cerebral hemorrhage, especially puncture aspiration, can improve early and long-term neurological recovery in patients with cerebral hemorrhage. Until now, no standardized practice for minimally invasive surgery of spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage has been established. Hematoma puncture and drainage based on CT scans without precise localization and personalized approach design, which may lead to poor efficacy and high risk of complications. Our hospital has much experience in treating cerebral hemorrhage with stereotactic puncture and aspiration. So we conduct a prospective multicenter randomized controlled clinical trial to determine the therapeutic effects of puncture aspiration plus thrombolysis treatment for the perioperative and long-term recovery of patients with small to moderate hematoma in deep basal ganglia via computerized precision coordinates and personalized approach design.

What is being measured

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

  1. Favorable Functional Outcome as Defined by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score

    Functional independence is defined as achieving a score of 0, 1, or 2 on the mRS. The mRS is a 7-point scale that measures the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of patients who have had a stroke. The scale ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (dead).

    Measured: 180 days

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. All-Cause Mortality

    Time from randomization to death from any cause up to 180 days.

    Measured: 180 days

  2. Barthel Index (BI)

    Functional status in activities of daily living (ADL) will be assessed using the Barthel Index (BI). The BI score ranges from 0 (completely dependent) to 100 (fully independent).

    Measured: 180 days

  3. Glasgow Outcome Scale-Extended (GOS-E) score

    The GOS-E is an 8-point scale that categorizes global outcomes from Dead (1) to Upper Good Recovery (8).

    Measured: 180 days

  4. Residual Hematoma Volume

    Absolute volume (in mL) of the hematoma remaining at 24 hours (± 6 hours) and at 1 month (± 7 days) post-intervention

    Measured: 24 hours and one month

  5. Length of Initial Hospital Stay

    Total duration (in days) of the index hospitalization from admission to discharge (excluding transfers to other acute care facilities)

    Measured: one month

  6. Total direct medical costs during the index hospitalization

    Total direct healthcare costs related to the index ICH event incurred during the index hospitalization, assessed from a healthcare system perspective

    Measured: one month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing stereotactic surgery plus thrombolysis and Guideline-based standard medical management in people with Basal Ganglia Haematoma, run by Second Affiliated Hospital, Zhejiang University, School of Medicine at 1 site in China.

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 10 inclusion and 20 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 23 Sep 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 China. 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.

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?

Favorable Functional Outcome as Defined by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score (time frame: 180 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 23 Sep 2026.
