About this trial
This is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, controlled, non-inferiority clinical trial to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Huayu Jiedu Formula (FTFY-919) Chinese medicine formula granules compared with traditional decoction in patients with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). A total of 300 eligible patients will be randomized in a 1:1:1 ratio to receive FTFY-919 formula granules, FTFY-919 traditional decoction, or placebo granules for 28 days, in addition to standard western medicine treatment. The primary outcome is the utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score at Day 90. Secondary outcomes include NIHSS score, hematoma volume and perihematomal edema volume, death or severe disability, EQ-5D-5L, Barthel Index and TCM syndrome scores. The trial will be conducted at 5 centers in China.
Eligibility criteria
This trial does not accept healthy volunteersQualifiers
Age ≥ 40 years;
Spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) confirmed by neuroimaging;
Hematoma volume 15-60 mL;
Within 48 hours of symptom onset (if onset time is unknown, the time last seen normal is used);
Disqualifiers
ICH secondary to structural brain abnormalities (including but not limited to cerebral vascular malformation, intracranial aneurysm, malignant tumor, moyamoya disease, trauma and prior ischemic stroke), cerebral amyloid angiopathy, thrombolysis or thrombectomy, anticoagulant therapy, antiplatelet therapy, or other secondary causes;
Patients judged by the responsible physician unlikely to benefit from the trial (e.g., advanced dementia) or at very high risk of early death, or other conditions considered unsuitable by the investigator;
Conditions that may interfere with follow-up or outcome assessment (e.g., significant pre-stroke disability with modified Rankin Scale score 3-5, end-stage malignant tumor, renal failure);
Known contraindications to Chinese medicine;

Treatment groups
Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
Utility-weighted modified Rankin Scale (uw-mRS) score at Day 90
Modified Rankin Scale assessed at Day 90, converted to utility-weighted scores (weights: mRS 0 = 1.0, 1 = 0.91, 2 = 0.76, 3 = 0.65, 4 = 0.33, 5 = 0, 6 = 0). Primary comparison: FTFY-919 formula granules versus traditional decoction (non-inferiority, margin 0.2); placebo arm serves as an additional reference.
Secondary outcomes
National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score
Neurological deficit assessed by the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale at Day 7 and Day 14; higher scores indicate more severe neurological impairment.
Hematoma volume on head CT
Intracerebral hematoma volume measured by head CT using the multi-slice (Tada) formula at Day 7 and Day 14.
Perihematomal edema volume on head CT
Perihematomal edema volume assessed by head CT at Day 7 and Day 14 after randomization.
Death or severe disability (modified Rankin Scale 3-6) at Day 90
Proportion of participants with death or severe disability, defined as modified Rankin Scale score of 3 to 6, at Day 90.
