Trial summary

The brain is encased in three membranes: the pia mater, arachnoid, and dura mater. A subdural hematoma is often a post-traumatic accumulation of blood between the dura mater and the brain, occurring when a trauma tears a small vein on the brain. Read more about this study

About this study

The brain is encased in three membranes: the pia mater, arachnoid, and dura mater. A subdural hematoma is often a post-traumatic accumulation of blood between the dura mater and the brain, occurring when a trauma tears a small vein on the brain. As the hematoma expands, it compresses the brain, potentially leading to severe neurological symptoms that may require urgent surgical removal. Patients on antiplatelet therapy are at increased risk of larger subdural hematomas and higher morbidity.

The reversibility of antiplatelet effects and the potential benefits of platelet transfusions to halt hematoma expansion or prevent significant re-bleeding during surgical management are still debated. The French Society of Anesthesia and Intensive Care (SFAR) recommends delaying neurosurgical interventions by 5 days if clinically tolerable, with platelet transfusions provided for urgent surgeries within this period. However, prolonged cessation of antithrombotic treatments increases the risk of perioperative thrombotic events.

Literature also notes individual variability in the effectiveness of antiplatelet treatments. European guidelines suggest using platelet function analysis devices alongside standard laboratory coagulation monitoring in trauma patients suspected of platelet dysfunction (Level 2C). The 2019 SFAR guidelines for the emergency management of patients on antiplatelets do not recommend these devices outside of cardiovascular surgery due to a lack of studies.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Biological samplesBiological

    Biological samples are taken from the patient's catheter inserted upon admission (the usual access route for patients): A daily sample is collected into a dry tube for off-site analysis by VeriFyNow until platelet function normalizes (for example, if platelet function normalizes on Day 2, no further VeriFyNow analysis will be conducted on subsequent days).

Study groups in NCT06415422
Study groupRoleWhat they receive
Daily Sampling in Platelet FunctionOtherThe management of patients included in this study is not altered from the standard recommended care. The only exception is the daily blood draw into a dry tube for decentralized analysis using VeriFyNow until the normalization of platelet function, which is not part of routine care.

What is being measured

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

  1. Evaluation of Platelet Function Progression

    Evaluation of the difference between the time to achieve functional platelets, measured by the analysis of platelet function and the recommended management delay by SFAR of 5 days after the cessation of the antiplatelet drug

    Measured: Day 0

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 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 8 Jun 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 Anaïs CAILLARD (+33, anais.caillard@chu-brest.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluation of Platelet Function Progression (time frame: Day 0). The study lists 6 primary outcomes in all. 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 8 Jun 2026.
