Glibenclamide Advantage in Treating Edema After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Other: Standard management for ICH
Registration Number
NCT03741530
Lead Sponsor
Xijing Hospital
Brief Summary

The purpose of the present study is to explore the efficacy of small doses of oral glibenclamide on brain edema after acute primary intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH), and improving the prognosis of patients.

Detailed Description

In order to explore the efficacy and safety of oral glibenclamide on brain edema after acute primary ICH, a web-based 1:1 randomization process will be employed to assign 220 subjects to Glibenclamide group (giving standard management for ICH plus glibenclamide) or Control group (giving standard management for ICH). The investigators will make a neurofunctional assessment at baseline, and 3 days, 7 days, 90 days after enrollment. The investigators also assess the midline shift, and the change in the volume of ICH and perihematomal edema (PHE) from the initial to follow-up (3 days and 7days after enrollment). The serious adverse events of all-cause mortality, cardiac-related and blood glucose-related adverse events will be collected to assess the safety of glibenclamide.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The proportion of death or major disability90 days after the onset

Unfavourable outcome including death and disability is defined as patients achieving modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≥3. The mRS is used for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of patients with stroke or other neurological diseases. The total score of the scale runs from 0 (perfect health without symptoms) to 6 (death).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
National Institute of Health stroke scale7 days after onset

The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) is used by healthcare providers to evaluate the impairment caused by stroke. The total score of the scale runs from 0 to 42. The higher score is an indicative of more severe impairment.

The change in the volume of ICH from the initial to follow-up CT scans7 days after onset
Barthel Index90 days after onset

The Barthel Index scale is used to measure performance in activities of daily living (ADL). The total score of the scale runs from 0 to 100. The high score of the scale represents favourable performance in activities of daily life.

The proportion of death or major disability7 days after onset

Unfavourable outcome including death and disability is defined as patients achieving modified Rankin Scale (mRS) ≥3. The mRS is used for measuring the degree of disability or dependence in the daily activities of patients with stroke or other neurological diseases. The total score of the scale runs from 0 (perfect health without symptoms) to 6 (death).

Glasgow Coma Scale7 days after onset

The Glasgow Coma Scale is a scale for measuring the conscious state of patients with neurological diseases. The total score of the scale runs from 3 (deep coma or death) to 15 (fully awake person).

The change in the volume of PHE from the initial to follow-up CT scans7 days after onset
