About this trial
In 2020, IntraCerebral Haemorraghe (ICH) remains the most devastating type of stroke. Besides stroke unit care, no specific treatment has been proven effective yet. Perihaematomal oedema (PHO) could be a promising therapeutic target. However, the mechanisms, the natural history as well as the clinical impact of this PHO remain unclear. The COPITCH study has been designed to answer these questions
