Key requirements

Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.

  • Ages 18 years and older
  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Adult, Older adult

Study population: The target population concerns patients suffering from malignant sylvian ischaemic cerebral accident and treated with decompressive hemicraniectomy. Eligibility will be assessed as soon as the first results of the MRI or brain scan carried out as part of the thrombolysis alert by the interventional neurologist or neuroradiologist triggering the treatment, in front of a large ischaemic cerebral accident (>145 ml).

Who may be able to join

  • Collegial indication given by a neurologist, a neuroreanimator and a neurosurgeon for HD in the context of a malignant sylvian AIC.
  • For neurosurgical operations in which cranial, meningeal, vascular (branch of the middle meningeal artery) or cerebral bone tissue is not preserved during the surgical approach.
  • Non-inclusion Criteria Patients:
  • HD carried out in a context of acute cerebral haemorrhage
  • Pre-existing neurological disability: modified Rankin score > 2
  • Patient benefiting from a legal protection measure
Show all 11Show fewer
  • Non-inclusion Criteria Controls:
  • Patient to be operated on for an acute vascular condition: meningeal haemorrhage, subdural or extradural haemorrhage, intra parenchymal haemorrhage.
  • Patient operated on for an osteomeningeal pathology present at the approach site.
  • Patient operated on for an infectious cranial or neuro-meningeal pathology.
  • Patient to be operated on as a result of an intracranial traumatic condition

About this study

The objective of the NEUTROSURGERY study is to describe the local and locoregional immuno-inflammatory activity in patients suffering from malignant sylvian ischaemic cerebral accident and treated with decompressive hemicraniectomy compared to a control population of patients to be operated on in neurosurgery for another neurosurgical pathology.

Being tested
Decompressive hemicraniectomy, neurosurgical operation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Ischemic Cerebrovascular Accident, run by Fondation Ophtalmologique Adolphe de Rothschild.

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 11 inclusion and 0 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: opening soon, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Jan 2026. 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. 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?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Benjamin MAIER, Professor, MD, PhD (01 48 03 72 13 ext. + 33, bmaier@for.paris), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

neutrophil polynuclear cells levels (time frame: Day 0). 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 20 Jan 2026.
