Stroke, Ahead of Print. Background and Purpose:Hematoma volume (HV) is a powerful determinant of outcome after intracerebral hemorrhage. We examined whether the effect of the iron chelator, deferoxamine, on functional outcome varied depending on HV in the i-DEF trial (Intracerebral Hemorrhage Deferoxamine).Methods:A post hoc analysis of the i-DEF trial; participants were classified according to baseline HV (small 30 mL). Favorable outcome was defined as a modified Rankin Scale score of 0–2 at day-180; secondarily at day-90. Logistic regression was used to evaluate the differential treatment effect according to HV.Results:Two hundred ninety-one subjects were included in the as-treated analysis; 121 with small, 114 moderate, and 56 large HV. Day-180 modified Rankin Scale scores were available for 270/291 subjects (111 with small, 105 moderate, and 54 large HV). There was a differential effect of treatment according to HV on day-180 outcomes (P-for-interaction =0.0077); 50% (27/54) of deferoxamine-treated patients with moderate HV had favorable outcome compared with 25.5% (13/51) of placebo-treated subjects (adjusted odds ratio, 2.7 [95% CI, 1.13–6.27];P=0.0258). Treatment effect was not significant for small (adjusted odds ratio, 1.37 [95% CI, 0.62–3.02]) or large (adjusted odds ratio, 0.12 [95% CI, 0.01–1.05]) HV. Results for day-90 outcomes were comparable (P-for-interaction =0.0617). Sensitivity analyses yielded similar results.Conclusions:Among patients with moderate HV, a greater proportion of deferoxamine- than placebo-treated patients achieved modified Rankin Scale score 0–2. The treatment effect was not significant for small or large HVs. These findings have important trial design and therapeutic implications.REGISTRATION:URL:https://www.clinicaltrials.gov; Unique identifier: NCT02175225.
