Recombinant Factor VIIa →Biological/Vaccine: Placebo

Recombinant Factor VIIa: Participants will be randomized in a double-blinded fashion to rFVIIa 80 µg/kg dose (maximum 10 mg dose) or matching placebo. All participants in FASTEST Part 2 must have a positive spot sign on baseline CTA and be treated within 120 minutes of onset or patients treated within 90 minutes of stroke onset, with or without a positive spot sign. Participants in both arms will receive best standard therapy as per published AHA Guidelines for ICH, including a target systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg.

Study summary

The objective of the rFVIIa for Acute Hemorrhagic Stroke Administered at Earliest Time (FASTEST) Trial is to establish the first treatment for acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) within a time window and subgroup of patients that is most likely to benefit. The central hypothesis is that rFVIIa, administered within 120 minutes from stroke onset with an identified subgroup of patients most likely to benefit, will improve outcomes at 90 days as measured by the Modified Rankin Score (mRS) and decrease ongoing bleeding as compared to standard therapy. FASTEST Part 2 is an extension of the FASTEST Trial where the subgroups include those treated within 2 hours with a positive spot sign on a baseline CT angiogram or patients treated within 90 minutes of stroke onset, with or without a positive spot sign.

Inclusion Criteria: 1. Patients aged 18-80 years, inclusive 2. Patients with spontaneous ICH 3. Able to treat with study medication (rFVIIa/placebo) within 120 minutes of stroke onset or last known well with a positive spot sign on pretreatment CT angiography or treatment within 90 minutes with or without spot sign. 4. Efforts to obtain informed consent per EFIC guidelines (U.S.) or adherence to country-specific emergency research informed consent regulations (Canada, Germany, Spain, Finland, U.K., Japan, Australia) Exclusion Criteria: 1. Score of 3 to 7 on the Glasgow Coma Scale 2. Secondary ICH related to known causes (e.g., trauma, aneurysm, arteriovenous malformation (AVM), oral anticoagulant use (vitamin K antagonists or novel oral anticoagulants) within the past 7 days, coagulopathy, etc.) 3. ICH volume \< 2 cc or ≥ 60 cc 4. Blood filling 2/3 or more of one lateral ventricle of the brain, OR, blood filling at least 1/3 of both lateral ventricles. 5. Pre-existing disability (mRS \> 2) 6. Symptomatic thrombotic or vaso-occlusive disease in past 90 days (e.g., cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolus, deep vein thrombosis, or unstable angina) 7. Clinical or EKG evidence of ST elevation consistent with acute myocardial ischemia 8. Brainstem location of hemorrhage (patients with cerebellar hemorrhage may be enrolled) 9.

Unfractionated heparin use with abnormal PTT 12. Pro-coagulant drugs within 24 hours prior to patient enrollment into the FASTEST trial (example, tranexamic acid or aminocaproic acid) 13. Low-molecular weight heparin use within the previous 24 hours 14. Recent (within 90 days) carotid endarterectomy or coronary or cerebrovascular angioplasty or stenting 15. Advanced or terminal illness or any other condition the investigator feels would pose a significant hazard to the patient if rFVIIa were administered 16. Recent (within 30 days) participation in any investigational drug or device trial or earlier participation in any investigational drug or device trial for which the duration of effect is expected to persist until to the time of FASTEST enrollment 17. Planned withdrawal of care or comfort care measures 18. Patient known or suspected of not being able to comply with trial protocol (e.g., due to alcoholism, drug dependency, or psychological disorder) 19. Known or suspected allergy to trial medication(s), excipients, or related products 20. Contraindications to study medication 21. Previous participation in this trial (previously randomized) 22.
