| Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of a titration dosing regimen of an intravenous infusion of clevidipine for the treatment of acute hypertension in patients with intracerebral hemorrhage ;Secondary Objective: The secondary objectives of the study include evaluating the percentage of patients who reach the target SBP within 30 minutes of the initiation of clevidipine infusion and percent change from baseline in SBP. Blood pressure management, the magnitude, frequency and duration of SBP excursion outside the target range and the percent time blood pressures were maintained within the target range during clevidipine infusion will be determined. The need for an alternative antihypertensive agent to maintain BP within the target range and the mean and median dose of clevidipine during the treatment period will be evaluated. The safety of a prolonged infusion of clevidipine based on clinical and laboratory assessments and AEs will be evaluated. Several exploratory analyses are planned which include evaluating the change in hematoma volumes, measuring perihematoma edema, assessment of neurological function following clevidipine infusion and explore BP control using wider ranges.;Primary end point(s): The median time to achieve the target blood pressure (Systolic Blood Pressure less than or equal to 160 mm Hg to greater than or equal to 140 mmHg) within 30 minutes of initiation of the clevidipine infusion. | — |
