Study summary

This multicenter, prospective, double-blind, randomized controlled trial will enroll 902 non-surgical patients with supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage who meet the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome criteria of Qi deficiency with blood stasis and toxin-induced injury to the brain collaterals.

The primary efficacy endpoint is the proportion of patients achieving a favorable outcome, defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0-2 at 180 days after treatment. Participants will be allocated across three trial regions: South China, Northeast China, and East China, with target enrollments of 400, 300, and 202 patients, respectively. Using a central randomization system, patients will be stratified by study center, hematoma volume, and severity of neurological deficit, and randomized 1:1 to the experimental group or control group.

The experimental group will receive Yiqi Huayu Jiedu Mixture, composed of red ginseng, Panax notoginseng, and raw rhubarb, while the control group will receive a matching placebo. Both interventions will be administered for 28 days, in addition to standardized conventional Western medical treatment.

Clinical and imaging data will be collected at multiple time points throughout the study. The primary outcome is the favorable prognosis rate at 180 days. Secondary outcomes include neurological function, quality of life, hematoma and perihematomal edema volume, and other relevant indicators. Adverse events will be monitored to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the mixture in reducing mortality and disability among patients with hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage.

Inclusion criteria

1.Adults aged 18 years or older, with no restriction on sex. 2.6 to 48 hours after symptom onset; if the exact onset time cannot be determined, the time shall be calculated from the last known well.

3.Patients meeting the traditional Chinese medicine syndrome criteria of "Qi deficiency, blood stasis, and toxin-induced injury to the brain collaterals." Diagnosis shall be based on the Expert Consensus on Integrated Traditional Chinese and Western Medicine for Cerebral Hemorrhage (T/CAIM 023-2021) issued by the Chinese Association of Integrative Medicine.

4.Imaging-confirmed supratentorial hypertensive intracerebral hemorrhage (HICH) located in the basal ganglia, thalamus, lobar region, or subcortical white matter, with a hematoma volume of 15-60 mL.

5.NIHSS score ≥ 8 and GCS score > 7. 6.The patient or the patient's legally authorized representative has provided written

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

Patients meeting **one or more** of the following criteria will be excluded:

  1. Intracerebral hemorrhage secondary to structural brain abnormalities, including but not limited to cerebral vascular malformation, intracranial aneurysm, malignant tumor, moyamoya disease, trauma, previous ischemic stroke, cerebral amyloid angiopathy, thrombolysis or thrombectomy, anticoagulant therapy, or other causes of secondary intracerebral hemorrhage.
  2. Patients who, in the judgment of the treating physician, are unlikely to benefit from the trial, have an extremely high risk of early death, or are considered unsuitable for participation by the investigator, such as patients with advanced dementia.
  3. Conditions that may interfere with follow-up or outcome assessment, such as known significant pre-stroke disability, modified Rankin Scale score of 3-5, end-stage , or renal failure.
  4. Indications for decompressive craniectomy, including but not limited to coma or progressive deterioration of consciousness, large hematoma with significant midline shift, intracranial hypertension difficult to control with medical treatment, cerebral herniation or impending herniation, or marked mass effect on imaging, such as midline shift >10 mm or compression/disappearance of cisterns or sulci.
  5. Known allergy to any traditional Chinese medicine component of the mixture.
  6. Pregnant or lactating women.
  7. Participation in another clinical trial that may interfere with the evaluation of this study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(2)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Cancer (malignancy)

Malignancy means cancer. Criteria about another or earlier malignancy ask whether you have had a different cancer, usually within a set number of years.

Some are commonly allowed, such as treated skin cancers other than melanoma and early cancers removed completely — check the exceptions this study lists.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on May 12, 2026, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
