Consecutive ICH volume with hematoma volume less than 30 mL by ABC/2 method presenting within 3 hours of symptom onset, meeting all inclusion criteria, and without exclusions will be consented and enrolled. Subjects will receive 5 grams of intravenous ɛ-aminocaproic acid over 1 hour, followed by the same at 1 mg/hour for 23 hours.
