About this trial
In 2020, IntraCerebral Haemorraghe (ICH) remains the most devastating type of stroke. Besides stroke unit care, no specific treatment has been proven effective yet. Perihaematomal oedema (PHO) could be a promising therapeutic target. However, the mechanisms, the natural history as well as the clinical impact of this PHO remain unclear. The COPITCH study has been designed to answer these questions
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
With a spontaneous ICH, i.e. non traumatic
Admitted within 12 hours of stroke onset. For wake-up strokes, time of last seen well will be considered as stroke onset
Patient insured under the French social security
Consent form signed
Disqualifiers
Pure intraventricular haemorrhages
"secondary" ICH: ICH resulting from intracranial vascular malformation, intracranial venous thrombosis, head trauma or tumour; haemorrhagic transformation within an infarct
Pre-admission modified Rankin score of 4 or 5
Life expectancy of less than 1 year related to comorbidities (end stage cancer, end stage organ failure)

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Poor functional outcome defined as a modified Rankin Scale of 4 or more
Secondary outcomes
overall distribution of the modified Rankin scale at 3- and 12 months
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. The scale runs from 0-6, running from perfect health without symptoms to death.
Early neurological deterioration defined as more than 4 points on the NIHSS score
The NIHSS score (NIH Stroke Scale) is used to monitor the progression of an ischemic or hemorrhagic stroke. It is rated from 0 to 42 points. Depending on the result, a distinction is made from Minor stroke to Severe stroke
all-cause mortality at 3 and 12 months
Cognitive decline
Cognitive decline defined as a score on MOCA test below 27
