Summary

This is a multicenter, randomized, open-label trial designed to evaluate the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of combining minimally invasive surgery (MIS) with intravenous deferoxamine (DFX) for the treatment of spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), compared to standard medical care.

This trial represents the first investigation of a dual-modality approach in ICH, integrating mechanical clot evacuation with biochemical neuroprotection, with the goal of improving neurological outcomes.

Conditions

  • Intracerebral Hemorrhage
  • ICH - Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Minimally Invasive surgery (MIS)

Lobar (superficial) hematomas will be evacuated via a minimally invasive trans-sulcal parafascicular approach, whereas deep hematomas will be removed through a minimally invasive burr-hole approach with catheter placement to allow controlled clot dissolution using alteplase.

DRUG

Deferoxamine

Deferoxamine will be administered as a continuous intravenous infusion at a dose of 32 mg/kg/day over 24 hours for a total of 3 consecutive days.

OTHER

Standard Medical Care (SMD)

We will follow the American Heart Association and European Stroke Organization guidelines for the management of non-traumatic spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage, ensuring a standardized approach to monitoring patients' airways, ventilation, intracranial pressure, sedation, and pharmacologic management of intracranial mass effect.
