Predicting cerebral vasospasm after subarachnoid hemorrhage using blood biomarkers

Predictive Model for the Occurrence of Cerebral Vasospasm Complicating Subarachnoid Haemorrhage by Combined Analysis of the Kinetics of a Panel of Biomarkers.

Not applicable Interventional University Hospital, Bordeaux · NCT06303349

This study is testing if certain blood markers can help predict if patients who have had a brain bleed will develop vasospasm within two weeks.

What this trial studies

This study aims to develop a predictive model for cerebral vasospasm occurring within 14 days following subarachnoid hemorrhage. It will analyze a panel of blood biomarkers collected from patients in the neurosurgical intensive care unit over a period of 10 days. The study will follow patients until discharge or for a maximum of 14 days, with the goal of enabling earlier diagnosis and potential pre-emptive treatment of vasospasm. The relationship between biomarker levels and the occurrence of vasospasm will be assessed while keeping the measurements blinded to each other.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates are patients diagnosed with subarachnoid hemorrhage within four days prior to admission to neuro-resuscitation.

Not a fit: Patients with significant vasospasm upon admission or those whose short-term survival is compromised may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved early detection and treatment of cerebral vasospasm, potentially reducing morbidity and mortality in affected patients.

How similar studies have performed: Previous studies have shown promising associations between blood biomarkers and neurological outcomes, indicating potential success for this predictive approach.
