About this study

Official title: Bare Platinum Coils Versus Second-generation Hydrocoils for the Endovascular Treatment of Ruptured Intracranial Aneurysms: a Randomized Controlled Study

Comparison of clinical and radiological outcomes between bare platinum coil group and second-generation hydrogel coils for treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms.

Read the detailed description

The investigators aimed to analyze whether the use of second-generation hydrogel coils for the treatment of ruptured intracranial aneurysms improves clinical and angiographic outcomes compared with the use of bare platinum coils.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Coil embolization in people with Aneurysm, Ruptured and Intracranial Aneurysm, run by Seoul National University Hospital at 3 sites in South Korea.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 25 Jul 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 3 sites in South Korea. 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 was stopped early (reason given: Due to HEC supply issues at participating centers and low enrollment rate among eligible patients). Results are not available in the source record.

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?

any recurrence rate after treatment (time frame: during 12 months after coil embolization). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT04988503, which also lists 1 linked publication.

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 25 Jul 2025.
