Background: Intracerebral hemorrhage is the least treatable form of stroke. We performed this phase 3 trial to confirm a previous study in which recombinant activated factor VII (rFVIIa) reduced growth of the hematoma and improved survival and functional outcomes.Methods: We randomly assigned 841 patients with intracerebral hemorrhage to receive placebo (268 patients), 20 mu g of rFVIIa per kilogram of body weight (276 patients), or 80 mu g of rFVIIa per kilogram (297 patients) within 4 hours after the onset of stroke. The primary end point was poor outcome, defined as severe disability or death according to the modified Rankin scale 90 days after the stroke.Results: Treatment with 80 mu g of rFVIIa per kilogram resulted in a significant reduction in growth in volume of the hemorrhage. The mean estimated increase in volume of the intracerebral hemorrhage at 24 hours was 26% in the placebo group, as compared with 18% in the group receiving 20 mu g of rFVIIa per kilogram (P=0.09) and 11% in the group receiving 80 mu g (P
