Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Novel, non-vitamin K antagonist oral anticoagulants (NOAC) target selected players in the coagulation cascade as the direct thrombin inhibitor dabigatran and the factor Xa-inhibitors apixaban and rivaroxaban. Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) is the most feared complication of NOAC treatment (NOAC-ICH).

Outcome of NOAC-ICH can be devastating and is a major cause of death and disability. There is no proven treatment for NOAC-ICH. Hematoma expansion (HE) is associated with unfavorable outcome. Tranexamic acid (TA) is an anti-fibrinolytic drug that is used in a number of bleeding conditions other than ICH.

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Acute intracerebral hemorrhage (symptom onset \<12h)
* Prior treatment with a novel direct oral anticoagulant (apixaban, dabigatran, edoxaban or rivaroxaban; last intake \<48hours or proven NOAC activity by relevant coagulation assays)
* Age \>18 years, No upper age limit
* Informed consent has been received in accordance to local ethics committee requirements

Exclusion Criteria

* Severe pre-morbid disability (modified Rankin scale \>4)
* Anticoagulation with Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) (recent intake)
* Secondary intracerebral hemorrhage (e.g. arteriovenous malformation (AVM), tumor, trauma) Note it is not necessary for investigators to exclude underlying structural abnormality prior to enrolment, but where an underlying structural abnormality is already known, these patients should not be recruited.
* Glasgow coma scale \<5
* pregnancy
* Planned neurosurgical hematoma evacuation within 24 hours (before follow-up imaging)
* Pulmonary embolism/deep vein thrombosis within the last 2 weeks.
