Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to test the safety and effectiveness of a single dose of fingolimod in patients with primary spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).
Detailed Description
This is a double-blinded, placebo-controlled pilot trial of fingolimod in patients with primary spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage. Eligible participants will be allocated to study groups using fixe...
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion
- Has given written informed consent to participate in the study in accordance with required regulations; if a participant is not capable of providing informed consent, written consent must be obtained from the participant's legally authorized representative (LAR). When the LAR is not available for consent, Docusign for econsent may be obtained.
- Stated willingness to comply with all study procedures and availability for the duration of the study.
- Men and non-pregnant women ages 18-80 years old Has a confirmed diagnosis of spontaneous supratentorial ICH. The presence of cerebellar ICH is exclusionary. Presence of hydrocephalus due to mass effect and cerebral edema is not exclusionary. If the patient has hydrocephalus requiring CSF drainage, an external ventricular drain will be placed as standard of care and will not be exclusionary.
- Symptoms less than 24 hours prior to enrollment if all eligibility criteria are met. An unknown time of onset is exclusionary. Use the time the patient was last known to be well for patients that awaken from sleep with symptoms.
- Has a GCS score ≥ 5 on presentation. Has a National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score ≥ 4 on presentation.
- Maintenance of SBP \< 200 mmHg at the time of enrollment and randomization. Historical Modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2.
Exclusion
- Men or women \< 18 years old Incarcerated patients ICH known as a result of trauma. Primary intraventricular hemorrhage without significant intraparenchymal component.
- Ruptured aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), vascular anomaly, Moyamoya disease, hemorrhagic conversion of an ischemic infarct, recurrence of recent (\< 1 year) hemorrhage, neoplasms diagnosed with radiographic imaging.
- Patients with unstable mass or evolving intracranial compartment syndrome. Brainstem hemorrhage or irreversible impaired brain stem function (bilateral fixed, dilated pupils and extensor motor posturing), GCS ≤ 4.
- Platelet count \< 100,000; INR \> 1.4. Any irreversible coagulopathy or known clotting disorder. Known history of Mobitz Type II second-degree or third-degree atrioventricular (AV) block or sick sinus syndrome.
- Admission within the past 6 months for the following: myocardial infarction, unstable angina, stroke, decompensated heart failure requiring hospitalization, or Class III/IV heart failure.
- Baseline QTc interval ≥500 ms. Current treatment with Class Ia or Class III anti-arrhythmic drugs. Implanted cardiac devices that are not compatible with the desired MRI sequences needed for the study (non-contrast T1, T2, SWI/GRE, and FLAIR sequences).
- Abnormal liver function or liver failure. Active acute infection that is deemed by the Principal Investigator to be clinically significant.
- Chronic viral or fungal infection. Active use of antineoplastic, immunosuppressive, or immunomodulating therapies. Leukopenia with a WBC \< 2.0 x 109/L. Not expected to survive to the 365 day visit due to co-morbidities or is DNR/DNI status prior to randomization.
- Active drug or alcohol use or dependence that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with adherence to study requirements.
- Concomitant enrollment in another interventional study. Inability or unwillingness of participant or legal guardian/representative to give written informed consent.
