Scientific titleA randomised controlled trial of Tranexamic acid in Intracerebral Haemorrhage (TICH)
Study acronymTICH
Study hypothesisPrimary:
To test the feasibility, tolerability and acceptability (adverse events) of tranexamic acid in haemorrhagic stroke.

Secondary:
To test the effects of tranexamic acid on haematoma expansion and death and dependency in haemorrhagic stroke.
Ethics approval(s)Cambridgeshire 2 Research Ethics Committee, 01/11/2010, ref: 10/H0308/80
ConditionStroke - primary intracerebral haemorrhage
InterventionIntravenous tranexamic acid (Cyklokapron®) or 0.9% normal saline administered as 1 g loading dose infusion over 10 minutes followed by 1 g infusion over 8 hours.
Intervention typeDrug
Pharmaceutical study type(s)
PhasePhase II
Drug / device / biological / vaccine name(s)Tranexamic acid (Cyklokapron®)
Primary outcome measure1. Acceptability: number of patients screened that are eligible for enrolment that give informed consent
2. Tolerability: adverse events after tranexamic acid administration
Secondary outcome measuresSurrogate markers of efficacy:
1. Radiological: haematoma volume change on brain imaging Day 1 to Day 2
2. Haematological: full blood count (FBC) and clotting function at Day 2
3. Day 7 (or discharge from hospital) and Day 90 (end of follow-up):
3.1. Dependency (modified Rankin Scale shift)
3.2. Disability (change in BI)
3.3. Quality of life (EuroQoL)
3.4. Care giver burden (GHQ-28)
3.5. Mood (Zung depression score)
3.6. Cognition (MMSE)
