Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Adults (18+) with CT-confirmed intracranial hemorrhage managed conservatively, able to provide consent or have a representative consent on their behalf.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients needing surgical hematoma evacuation or with major organ dysfunction may not benefit and are excluded.

What this trial studies
This Phase 2 interventional trial evaluates the effect of febuxostat 40 mg alongside standard medical care in adults with conservatively managed intracranial hemorrhage. Participants will be assessed for clinical outcomes and biomarkers of oxidative stress and inflammation to see if febuxostat can help reduce secondary brain injury. The study targets patients identified by CT imaging and managed according to clinical guidelines, with informed consent obtained from the patient or a legal representative. Primary safety and exploratory efficacy signals will guide future research on uric acid modulation in this condition.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, febuxostat could reduce secondary brain injury and improve recovery after intracranial hemorrhage.
How similar studies have gone: Prior studies in related cerebrovascular conditions suggest uric acid pathway modulation may influence oxidative stress, but data in conservatively managed ICH are limited.
