Using Shuxuening Injection to Prevent Complications After Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Shuxuening Injection for the Prevention of Cerebral Vasospasm in Patients With Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage -- A Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-parallel Controlled Clinical Trial

Phase2; Phase3 Interventional Beijing Tiantan Hospital · NCT06138353

This study is testing if a new injection called Shuxuening can help prevent complications like brain swelling in patients who have just had surgery for a brain bleed.

What this trial studies

This clinical trial investigates the efficacy of Shuxuening injection in preventing cerebral vasospasm and delayed cerebral ischemia in patients who have undergone treatment for aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. It is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial where participants are divided into two groups: one receiving the Shuxuening injection and the other receiving a placebo. Both groups will also receive standard care as per the latest guidelines. The treatment will be administered intravenously for 10-14 days starting from the first day post-surgery.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults over 18 years old who have been diagnosed with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage and have undergone surgical treatment within 72 hours of onset.

Not a fit: Patients with pre-existing severe health conditions or those who have had prior surgeries for aneurysms may not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this treatment could significantly reduce the risk of complications and improve recovery outcomes for patients with aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on cerebral vasospasm treatments, the specific use of Shuxuening injection in this context is novel and has not been extensively tested.
