Timing of anticoagulation for preventing blood clots in patients with brain hemorrhage
Official title: Early or Delayed Initiation of Venous Thromboembolism Prophylaxis With Heparin in Patients With Hypertensive Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Run by Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University · NCT06753786 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study is testing whether starting blood-thinning treatment early or later can help prevent blood clots in patients with bleeding in the brain while keeping them safe from more bleeding.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Ideal candidates for this study are patients diagnosed with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage who meet the inclusion criteria.
✕Probably not a fit
Patients who have experienced intracerebral hemorrhage expansion, are on anticoagulants, or have other specified exclusion criteria may not benefit from this study.

What this trial studies
This clinical trial evaluates the safety and effectiveness of different timing for anticoagulation therapy using heparin to prevent venous thromboembolism in patients suffering from hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive anticoagulation either early, within the first two days after admission, or delayed, starting on the third day. The study aims to determine which timing minimizes the risk of bleeding complications while effectively preventing blood clots. The outcomes will help establish optimal guidelines for anticoagulation in this patient population.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, this study could lead to improved protocols for preventing blood clots in patients with brain hemorrhages, potentially reducing complications and improving patient outcomes.
How similar studies have gone: While there have been studies on anticoagulation timing, this specific approach focusing on hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage is novel and has not been extensively tested.
