Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: Inclusion:Patients with confirmed spontaneous aSAH who are admitted to the neurosurgical department at SRFT where consent can be obtained and drug administered within 72 hours.

Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: Unconfirmed or uncertain diagnosis of spontaneous aSAH. Known or suspected infection in the preceeding 2 weeks or at the time of consideration for the study. Known allergy to E. coli or any of the constituents of the study medication as established from the patient themselves, reliable representative and clinical records. Previous or concurrent treatment with recombinant IL-1Ra known at the time of study entry. Previous or current treatment with medication suspected of interacting with recombinant IL-1Ra, such as TNF-a inhibitors. Known to have participated in a clinical trial of an investigational agent or device in the previous 30 days or for the period determined by the protocol of the study the patient has taken part in. Known or planned pregnancy (pregnancy test to be performed in women of child-bearing potential) or breast-feeding. Clinically significant concurrent medical condition, at the PI’s (or designee’s) discretion, which could affect the safety, tolerability, or efficacy in this study.

| Measure | Time frame |

| Main Objective: What effect does the specific anti-inflammatory drug (IL-1Ra) have on the levels of a specific inflammatory protein (IL-6) in blood between 3-8 days after a brain haemorrhage?;Primary end point(s): To determine area under curve (AUC) of IL-6 concentration from day 3 to day 8 post-ictus, in patients receiving IL-1Ra relative to those who do not.;Secondary Objective: Secondary question 1. What effect does the specific anti-inflammatory drug (IL-1Ra) have on the levels of other inflammatory proteins in blood between 3-8 days after a brain haemorrhage? Secondary question 2. What effect does the specific anti-inflammatory drug (IL-1Ra) have on the levels of inflammatory proteins in blood at days 14 and 21 days after a brain haemorrhage? Secondary question 3. What effect does the specific anti-inflammatory drug (IL-1Ra) have on recovery from brain haemorrhage? Secondary Objective 4. Confirmation that blood levels of the anti-inflammatory drug (IL-1Ra), when given twice daily remain consistently within the expected range. Secondary objective 5. Confirmation that the chosen method of administration (injection under skin, twice a day) is safe, feasible and well tolerated by patients following brain haemorrhage. | — |
