ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryParticpants Who Achieve and Maintain the Systolic Blood Pressure Goals for Each Treatment Tier.Within 3 hours of symptom onset and sustained through 18-24 hours.
Feasibility of treatment was assessed by whether SBP reduction and maintenance within the respective target range was achieved (treatment success) or not (treatment failure), and secondarily by whether a significant difference between treatment arms was achieved. Treatment failure was defined based on the observed hourly hourly minimum SBP remaining greater than the upper limit of the target range for 2 consecutive hours after initiation of nicardipine infusion. Spontaneous decline of SBP below the lower limit of the specific tier was not considered treatment failure as all such declines were asymptomatic.The lower number in the more intensive treatment groups reflects in part the greater challenge of rapidly lowering systolic blood pressure to a more intensive (lower) range, as a higher number of treatment failures as pre-defined by meeting the SBP range goal within 3 hours of symptom onset in this group predictably occurred.
PrimaryNumber of Participants With Neurological Deteriorations (Decrease of 2 or More Points on the GCS Score or an Increase of 4 or More Points on the NIHSS Score) During the 24 Hour Treatment",within the first 72 hours of treatment initiation
Neurological status was monitored quantitatively and independently of other adverse events using two scales. The Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) score measures level of consciousness in eye, motor, and verbal components. At least one point is given in each category. The scale ranges from 3 to 15, with 3 indicating deep unconsciousness and 15 indicating consciousness is not impaired. The National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) quantifies neurologic deficits in 11 categories. Level of consciousness, horizontal eye movements, visual fields, facial palsy, movement in each limb, sensation, language and speech, and extinction or inattention on one side of the body are tested. Scores range from 0 to 42; 0 indicates normal function and higher scores indicate greater deficit severity.
PrimaryTotal Number of Serious Adverse Events Within the Initial 72 Hours From Treatment Per Subjectfrom treatment initiation through 72 hours
Serious adverse events were ascertained by site investigators using FDA-defined guidelines, defined as any untoward clinical events having been fatal, life-threatening, resulting in new or prolonged hospitalization, resulting in disability or congenital anomaly, or requiring intervention to prevent permanent impairment or damage. Subjects were followed closely from randomization through 90 days. The initial 72-hour period was chosen as the most meaningful time period for which to examine SAEs likely to be related to the acute safety of the study treatment.

Particpants Who Achieve Reduction of Blood Pressure and Maintain Treatment Goals (the Specified Systolic Blood Pressure Range for the 18-24 Hour Period) Without Neurological Deterioration or Side Effects Resulting in Death.
From enrollment through 3 months
The tolerability of the study treatment was further ascertained by examination of in-hospital, 1-month, or 3-month mortality in each treatment group. This pilot study was not powered (did not plan to enroll an adequate number of patients) to draw meaningful conclusions about individual adverse event categories, outcome measures, or to make comparisons between the treatment arms beyond the overall feasibility and tolerability of rapidly and significantly lowering SBP following intracerebral hemorrhage. The timing and magnitude of SBP reduction was also compared to the timing of individual safety events to further evaluate possible relationships between the study treatment, adverse events, and any recognizable safety concerns.

All subjects were analyzed by treatment arm for the presence of SAEs, neurological deterioration, symptomatic or asymptomatic hematoma expansion, and mortality in-hospital or within 3 months. Pre-specified safety stopping rules were used. The nature and relatedness of events was examined and overseen by an external Data safety and Monitoring Board.

Serious adverse events were monitored for all patients throughout the 3-month study period; when mortality resulted death was categorized as having occurred prior to or following hospital discharge. The 3-month mortality count includes deaths that occurred earlier. Survival was confirmed at hospital discharge, 1 month, and 3 months.
