Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

The overall objective of this Phase III clinical trial is to obtain information from a population of 500 ICH subjects with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), representative of current clinical practice and national demographics of ICH regarding the benefit (or lack thereof) of IVH clot removal on subject function as measured by modified Rankin Scale (mRS). This application requests funding for five years to initiate a Phase III randomized clinical trial (RCT) testing the benefit of clot removal for intraventricular hemorrhage. The investigators propose to compare extraventricular drainage (EVD) use plus recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA; Alteplase; Genentech, Inc., San Francisco, CA) with EVD+ placebo in the management and treatment of subjects with small intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) and large intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH defined as ICH < 30 cc and obstruction of the 3rd or 4th ventricles by intraventricular blood clot).

    Outcome Measures

    1. Primary Outcome
    Title Participants With Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) <=3 - Dichotomized Analysis
    Description Analysis modified on September 29, 2015 to account for adaptive randomization. The modified Rankin Scale (mRS) is a commonly used scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes of neurological disability. It is scored from 0 (perfect health without symptoms) to 6 (death).
    Time Frame 180 days

    Outcome Measure Data

    Analysis Population Description
    All the non-missing mRS scores at 180 days were analyzed.
