History of Changes
  Purpose
  • To prove whether use of antiplatelet agents results into a rapid enlargement of hematoma after onset of acute intracerebral hemorrhage.
  • To prove the efficacy and safety of platelet transfusion for prevention of hematoma growth in patients who were stricken by acute intracerebral hemorrhage while being on antiplatelet medication.

Study Design: Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label

Primary Outcome Measures:
  • Hematoma growth within 24 h measured as increase in hematoma volume observed by head CT [ Time Frame: 24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]

Secondary Outcome Measures:
  • Glasgow Outcome Score [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Cardiovascular death occurring within the treatment period [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Death due to any cause occurring within the treatment period [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Acute myocardial infarction [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
  • Venous thromboembolism [ Time Frame: 90 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]

Estimated Enrollment: 100
Study Start Date: January 2009
Estimated Study Completion Date: December 2014
Estimated Primary Completion Date: July 2014 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
Arms Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: 1
Platelet transfusion
 Biological: platelets
Four units of fresh platelets will be infused immediately
No Intervention: 2
No platelet transfusion

Detailed Description:
  • Hematoma growth is a well-known powerful determinant of mortality and poor outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage.
  • Some observations suggest that previous use of antiplatelet agents associates with rapid hematoma enlargement and poor outcome after cerebral hemorrhage.
  • Immediate platelet transfusion for such patients may prevent hematoma growth but also cause thromboembolic complications.
