Un estudio de investigación durante la atención de emergencia sobre el sangrado en el cerebro

La Universidad de Miami/Jackson Health System está realizando un estudio de investigación sobre el sangrado en el cerebro, también llamado “hemorragia intracerebral” (HIC). La mayor parte de este sangrado ocurre en un plazo de pocas horas desde la aparición de los síntomas. La lesión cerebral producida por la HIC suele ser muy grave y, actualmente, no existe ningún tratamiento comprobado para la HIC que mejore el desenlace. El estudio FASTEST se lleva a cabo para determinar si una proteína (rFVIIa) que el cuerpo produce para detener el sangrado en el lugar de una lesión a un vaso sanguíneo puede frenar el sangrado en el cerebro y mejorar el desenlace. Los participantes en el estudio de investigación FASTEST se asignan de manera aleatoria (es decir, al azar) a uno de dos grupos. Tienen las mismas posibilidades de recibir el rFVIIa o un placebo (sin ingredientes activos). Algunos pacientes serán inscritos sin su consentimiento si no se puede localizar rápido a un familiar o un representante. Antes de que comience el estudio de investigación, consultaremos a la comunidad. Agradecemos sus comentarios y preguntas.

An emergency care research study of bleeding in the brain.

University of Miami/Jackson Memorial Hospital is conducting a research study to study bleeding in the brain, also called intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). Most of this bleeding occurs within a few hours of onset of symptoms. The brain injury from ICH is usually very severe, and there is currently no treatment for ICH that is proven to improve outcome. The FASTEST research study is being done to determine if a protein (rFVIIa) that our body makes to stop bleeding at the site of injury to a blood vessel, can slow bleeding in the brain and improve outcome. Participants in the FASTEST research study are placed at random, that is by chance, into one of 2 groups. They have an equal chance of getting rFVIIa or placebo (no active ingredient). Some patients will be enrolled without consent if a family member or representative is not rapidly available. Before the research study starts, we will consult with the community. We welcome your feedback and questions. For more information, or to decline participation in this research study, please visit https://nihstrokenet.org/fastest/home or contact our study staff below.
