Brief Summary:
- To evaluate the efficacy of using IPC during the acute phase of ICH in the prevention of VTE.
- To assess the safety and efficacy of additional therapy with enoxaparin.
- To compare the efficacy and safety of the European and American guideline recommendations.
- To provide an efficient and safe thromboprophylaxis for several weeks until the patient is able to walk.
| Condition or disease | Intervention/treatment | Phase |
|---|---|---|
| Intracerebral Hemorrhage | Drug: enoxaparin Drug: enoxaparin placebo | Phase 4 |
- Although it has been poorly investigated, the risk of VTE among patients with acute primary intracerebral hemorrhage is generally believed to be at least as high as among patients with ischemic stroke.
- The currently available guidelines state that while low doses of subcutaneous heparin or low-molecular-weight heparin may reduce VTE, it is possible that their effect is counterbalanced by an increase in hemorrhagic complications.
- It is still unclear when (if ever) low-molecular-weight-heparin should be safely initiated in ICH patients.

Active Comparator: 1
Early enoxaparin
|
Drug: enoxaparin
20 mg enoxaparin (2 000 IU) s.c. will be given twice daily starting 24-48 h after onset of the stroke. Intermittent pneumatic compression will be started immediately after admission.

Placebo Comparator: 2
Late enoxaparin
|
Drug: enoxaparin placebo
Placebo will be given s.c. twice daily starting 24-48 h after onset of the stroke for 2 days. Thereafter, 20 mg enoxaparin (2 000 IU) s.c. will be given twice daily. Intermittent pneumatic compression will be started immediately after admission.

Primary Outcome Measures :
- The cumulative occurrence of confirmed VTE, defined as the composite of symptomatic or asymptomatic DVT, or symptomatic or fatal PE occurring during the treatment period. [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
Secondary Outcome Measures :
- Bleeding complications including rebleedings occurring within the treatment period [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- Increase in ICH volume observed by head CT or at autopsy during the treatment period [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- Cardiovascular death occurring within the treatment period [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
- Death due to any cause occurring within the treatment period [ Time Frame: 90 days ]
