Summary

This trial tests whether a granule form of the Chinese herbal formula Huayu Jiedu (FTFY-919) works as well as the traditional decoction for people with acute hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage, a type of stroke caused by bleeding in the brain. About 300 adults who have had a brain bleed within the past 48 hours will receive either the granules, the traditional decoction, or a placebo for 28 days, alongside standard care. The main goal is to compare the granules to the decoction in terms of recovery and disability at 90 days, with a placebo group as a reference. The study will also track neurological function, bleeding size, and quality of life.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Huayu Jiedu Formula (FTFY-919) granules, a Chinese medicine formula containing red ginseng, notoginseng, and rhubarb
What this could lead to
If the granules match the traditional decoction's effects, patients could get a more convenient, standardized treatment for bleeding in the brain after a stroke.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage test in 300 people, and the granules might not prove as effective as hoped. The trial also focuses on a specific type of brain bleed, so results may not apply to all stroke patients.

Inclusion Criteria: * 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); * Meeting one of the following: basal ganglia or lobar hemorrhage with NIHSS score ≥ 8; or thalamic, brainstem or cerebellar hemorrhage with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score 7-14; * Written informed consent obtained from the patient or the legal representative. Exclusion Criteria: * 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; * Pregnancy or breastfeeding; * Participation in another clinical trial that may interfere with the evaluation of this trial.
