About this trial

Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) accounts for 10-15% of all strokes without effective pharmacological treatment. Inflammation following ICH contributes to barrier disruption and peri-hematoma edema, leading to deterioration of neurological function. Preclinical evidence suggests that bone marrow hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells (HSPCs) are swiftly activated after ICH. Thereafter, these HSPCs produce an increased output of anti-inflammatory monocytes as an endogenous protective mechanism. Stimulation of β3 adrenergic receptor using selective agonists promotes the production of anti-inflammatory monocytes in bone marrow, and thereby reduces neuroinflammation, brain edema and neurological deficits. This study is to assess the safety and efficacy of a β3 adrenergic receptor agonist Mirabegron as a potential treatment option in ICH patients.

Eligibility criteria

This trial does not accept healthy volunteers

Qualifiers

Male or female patients aged above 18 years old.

The volume of the hematoma is 5-30 ml (including the cerebral cortex; Putamen, thalamus, caudate nucleus and related deep tracts; Cerebellar hemorrhage), which determined by CT scan.

The onset of cerebral hemorrhage symptoms or the time from last normal to detection is not more than 72 hours.

Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score ≥6 and < 12.

Disqualifiers

Multifocal cerebral hemorrhage, brain stem hemorrhage, or ventricular hemorrhage.

Secondary cerebral hemorrhage caused by aneurysm, brain tumor, arteriovenous malformation, thrombocytopenia, coagulation disorder, traumatic brain injury, etc.

Patients who require hematoma removal surgery or other emergency surgical interventions (such as decompressive craniectomy), or who are critically ill and close to death.

Patients who interfere with drug use due to nausea or vomiting.

Trial outcomes

Primary outcomes

1

Changes in absolute perihematomal edema volume measured by computed tomography (CT)

Repeated CT images will be obtained at 24-48 hours after diagnosis and on days 7 and 14 with CT at 24-48 hours after diagnosis as the baseline for analysis.

Time frame
7 and 14 days

Secondary outcomes

1

Changes in absolute hematoma volume measured by CT after ICH

Repeated CT images will be obtained at 24-48 hours after diagnosis and on days 7 and 14 with CT at 24-48 hours after diagnosis as the baseline for analysis.

Time frame
7 and 14 days
2

Changes in NIHSS scores

The assessment will be based on the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) with a score range of 0 (asymptomatic) to 42 (death).

Time frame
7 and 14 days
3

The rate of functional independence at 90 days

Number of participants with functional independence. Modified Rankin scale (mRS) is a scale for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of people who have suffered a stroke or other causes neurological disability. Functional Independence: 0 - no symptoms at all 1 - no significant disability despite symptoms; able to carry out all usual duties and activities 2- slight disability; unable to carry out all previous activities, but able to look after own affairs without assistance

Time frame
90 days
4

Proportion of adverse drug reactions

Adverse events related to mirabegron will be recorded.

Time frame
14 days
