Can a subset of intracerebral hemorrhage patients benefit from hemostatic therapy with recombinant activated factor VII?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE In the Factor Seven for Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke (FAST) trial, 80 microg/kg of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) significantly reduced intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) expansion when given within 4 hours of onset. However, in contrast to an earlier Phase 2b study, rFVIIa did not improve survival or functional outcome. In this exploratory analysis, we hypothesized th...
متن کاملRecombinant activated factor VII for acute intracerebral hemorrhage
Acute stroke is the third leading cause of death worldwide, exceeded only by coronary artery disease and cancer. There are two major subtypes of strokeischemic and hemorrhagic with 20-30% of all strokes being hemorrhagic in nature. The incidence of ischemic strokes has steadily declined by virtue of rigorous risk factor modification, but the same has not been possible for hemorrhagic strokes. M...
متن کاملRecombinant Activated Factor VII for Acute Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Intracerebral hemorrhage is the least treatable form of stroke and is associated with 30% to 50% mortality rate. Early hematoma growth occurs in 18% to 38% of patients scanned within 3 hours of intracerebral hemorrhage onset, and hematoma volume is an important predictor of poor outcome. Recombinant activated factor VII, a potent initiator of hemostasis, is currently approved for the treatment ...
متن کاملClinical Studies Dynamics of Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Patients with Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage: Risk Factors, Clinical Impact, and Effect of Hemostatic Therapy with Recombinant Activated Factor Vii
Received, February 10, 2006. Accepted, June 7, 2006. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate predictors of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and IVH growth, impact of IVH growth on outcome, and impact of recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). METHODS: We analyzed 374 patients out of 399 who were randomized to rFVIIa (40, 80, or 160 g/kg) or placebo for ICH (di...
متن کاملHemostatic Therapy for Intracerebral Hemorrhage
Objective: To reduce the blood pressure and elevate intracranial pressure using nimodipine (Nimotop Intravenous (IV) infusion). Thus, intracerebral hemorrhage was controlled, and the purpose of hemostasis was achieved. Methods: Sixty-eight patients with intracerebral hemorrhage were divided into a treatment group (n = 51), and a control group (n = 35). Nimotop solution (10 mg) was administered ...
