About this study

Official title: Efficacy and Safety of NeuroEndoscopic Surgery for IntraCerebral Hemorrhage: a Randomised, Controlled, Open-label, Blinded Endpoint Trial

To compare the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic hematoma removal and standard conservative treatment for patients with spontaneous supratentorial deep intracerebral hemorrhage.

Read the detailed description

Neuroendoscopic treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is more and more widely used, but multi-center clinical study on the efficacy and safety of neuroendoscopic treatment of ICH is relatively small. Based on the lack of sufficient clinical evidence, the investigators plan to conduct a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trial to investigate the safety and efficacy of neuroendoscopy in the treatment of spontaneous cerebral parenchymal hemorrhage, so as to provide evidence-based medical evidence for endoscopic minimally invasive treatment of cerebral hemorrhage and its application.The aim of trial was to determine whether the endoscopic surgery could achieve the benefits of clot evacuation and improve functional outcome at 180 days after ICH without procedure-related safety events or additional brain injury beyond the risks associated with standard care

What is being measured

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

  1. The proportion of patients with Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-3

    Functional outcome (comparing the intervention group to the control), assessed with the modified Rankin Scale (mRS) at 6 months.The mRS is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is scored from: 0=No symptoms at all, 1=No significant disability, 2=Slight disability, 3=Moderate disability, 4=Moderately severe disability, 5=Severe disability and 6=death.

    Measured: 180 days

  2. Safety outcome

    All cause mortality from onset to 180 days

    Measured: 180 days

Secondary outcomes (16)
  1. Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)

    GOS-E subdivides the categories of severe and moderate disability and good recovery using a scale of 1 to 8 where 1 = death, 2 = vegetative state, 3 = lower severe disability, 4 = upper severe disability, 5 = lower moderate disability, 6 = upper moderate disability, 7 = lower good recovery, and 8 = upper good recovery. Structured telephone interviews have been developed and validated for the GOS-E and these questions were incorporated into the follow-up survey. GOS-E was dichotomized into unfavorable (1 to 4) and favorable (5 to 8) outcomes.

    Measured: 30 days.

  2. Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)

    GOS-E subdivides the categories of severe and moderate disability and good recovery using a scale of 1 to 8 where 1 = death, 2 = vegetative state, 3 = lower severe disability, 4 = upper severe disability, 5 = lower moderate disability, 6 = upper moderate disability, 7 = lower good recovery, and 8 = upper good recovery. Structured telephone interviews have been developed and validated for the GOS-E and these questions were incorporated into the follow-up survey. GOS-E was dichotomized into unfavorable (1 to 4) and favorable (5 to 8) outcomes.

    Measured: 90 days.

  3. Glasgow Outcome Scale Extended (GOS-E)

    GOS-E subdivides the categories of severe and moderate disability and good recovery using a scale of 1 to 8 where 1 = death, 2 = vegetative state, 3 = lower severe disability, 4 = upper severe disability, 5 = lower moderate disability, 6 = upper moderate disability, 7 = lower good recovery, and 8 = upper good recovery. Structured telephone interviews have been developed and validated for the GOS-E and these questions were incorporated into the follow-up survey. GOS-E was dichotomized into unfavorable (1 to 4) and favorable (5 to 8) outcomes.

    Measured: 180 days.

  4. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score

    The mRS is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is scored from: 0=No symptoms at all, 1=No significant disability, 2=Slight disability, 3=Moderate disability, 4=Moderately severe disability, 5=Severe disability and 6=death.

    Measured: 30 days.

  5. Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) Score

    The mRS is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is scored from: 0=No symptoms at all, 1=No significant disability, 2=Slight disability, 3=Moderate disability, 4=Moderately severe disability, 5=Severe disability and 6=death.

    Measured: 90 days .

  6. Survival rate

    comparing the intervention group to the control

    Measured: 30 days.

  7. Survival rate

    comparing the intervention group to the control

    Measured: 90 days.

  8. Assessment of cognitive function with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    The MMSE is a screening test for cognitive dysfunction. The test consists of five sections (orientation, registration, attention-calculation, recall, and language); the total score can range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better function.

    Measured: 30 days.

  9. Assessment of cognitive function with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    The MMSE is a screening test for cognitive dysfunction. The test consists of five sections (orientation, registration, attention-calculation, recall, and language); the total score can range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better function.

    Measured: 90 days.

  10. Assessment of cognitive function with Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE)

    The MMSE is a screening test for cognitive dysfunction. The test consists of five sections (orientation, registration, attention-calculation, recall, and language); the total score can range from 0 to 30, with a higher score indicating better function.

    Measured: 180 days.

  11. Quality of life measured with the 5-level EQ-5D (EQ-5D-5L)

    The EQ-5D-5L is a standard measure of health-related quality of life.EQ-5D-5L consists of two components: a health state profile and a visual analog scale (VAS). EQ-5D health state profile comprises 5 dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: 1=no problems, 2=slight problems, 3=moderate problems, 4=severe problems, and 5=extreme problems. The 5D-5L systems are converted into a single index utility score between 0 to 1, where a higher score indicates a better health state. The VAS records the participant's health on a 0-100 mm VAS scale, with 0 indicating "the worst health you can imagine" and 100 indicating "the best health you can imagine". Higher scores of EQ VAS indicate better health.

    Measured: 30 days.
