About this trial
This is a nationwide, multicenter, open-label, randomized controlled trial of early minimally invasive treatment for deep-seated spontaneous cerebral hemorrhage (dICH). The study consists of 2 steps: the first step is to conduct a dose climbing test to determine the safety and optimal dose of urokinase intra-hematoma irrigation after stereotactic aspiration; the second step is to validate whether stereotactic aspiration plus urokinase irrigation (the optimal dose determined in step one) is superior to conservative treatment in improving long-term outcomes (1 year) in early (within 24h) dICH patients.
