Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (10)
Number of Participants with Adverse Events
360 days post-randomization
Incidence of abnormalities in physical examination
A complete physical examination will include, at a minimum, assessments of the cardiovascular, respiratory, gastrointestinal, dermatological, neurological (including basic neurological testing for isocoria, light reflexes, gait and balance), musculoskeletal and lymphatic systems, in addition to head, eyes, ears, nose, throat, and neck.
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in HR interval
Measured by standard 12-lead ECG
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in PR interval
Measured by standard 12-lead ECG
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in QRS duration
Measured by standard 12-lead ECG
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in QRS axis
Measured by standard 12-lead ECG
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in QT interval
Measured by standard 12-lead ECG. Two corrections of the QT interval will be investigated: Fridericia's correction (QTcF) and Bazett's correction (QTcB)
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in blood pressure
Blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) is measured using an automatic device
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in heart rate
Heart rate is measured using an automatic device
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in body temperature
Measurement of tympanic temperature
7 days post-randomization
Secondary Outcomes (4)
Change from baseline in perihematomal oedema (PHO) and haemorrhage volumes
10 days post-randomization
Measurement of the effect of Ir-CPI on the activated Partial Thromboplastin Time (aPTT)
7 days post-randomization
Measurement of the effect of Ir-CPI on the inhibition of Factor XI (FXI) and Factor XII (FXII) procoagulant activities
7 days post-randomization
Change from baseline in Ir-CPI plasma concentrations
7 days post-randomization

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Male or female patients aged ≥ 18 years.
- Written informed consent obtained before any study assessment. If the patient is not able to give the informed consent personally, consent by a legal representative as defined by local law and regulation is acceptable.
- First-ever, spontaneous, supratentorial intracerebral haemorrhage in cerebral cortex or deep brain structures (putamen, thalamus, caudate, and associated deep white matter tracts) with a volume ≥ 5 mL and ≤ 60 mL determined by non-contrast CT scan.
- Patients with Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) best motor score no less than 5.
- Modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score 0-2 prior to ICH symptom onset.
You may not qualify if:
- History of personal or familial bleeding disorders; including prolonged or unusual bleeding.
- Known deficiency in factor XII (FXII) or haemophilia type A (FVII) or type B (FIX) or type C (FXI).
- Infratentorial (midbrain, pons, medulla, or cerebellum) ICH.
- Secondary ICH due to aneurysm, brain tumour, arteriovenous malformation, thrombocytopenia, coagulopathy, acute sepsis, traumatic brain injury (TBI), or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
- Planned neurosurgical hematoma evacuation or other urgent surgical intervention (i.e., surgical relief of increased intracranial pressure) on initial presentation.
- Anticoagulation reversal treatment.
- Patients with intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) having a Graeb score of \>3 on initial presentation. Patients must not have blood in the 4th ventricle and may only have blood in the 3rd ventricle in the absence of ventricular expansion. Trace or mild haemorrhage in either or both lateral ventricles is permitted. Patients with hydrocephalus determined radiologically on initial presentation are excluded regardless of Graeb score.
- Use of immunosuppressive or immune-modulating therapy at admission (e.g., steroids, methotrexate, monoclonal antibodies, etc).
- Patients with active systemic bacterial, viral or fungal infections.
- Women of childbearing potential.
- Have a body weight \> 120 kg at screening.
- Severe renal impairment (eGFR \< 30 mL/min/1.73 m2).
