Following neurosurgical or endovascular treatment, participants were given a daily infusion of HA for 7 days. The HA dose was allocated as follows: the first tier (20 patients) would receive 0.625 grams (g) of HA per kilogram (kg) of body weight; patients in the second tier would receive 1.25g of HA per kg; patients in the third tier would receive 1.875g of HA per kg; and patients in the fourth tier would receive 2.5g of HA per kg. Safety and tolerability was evaluated by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) after each tier was completed and before the study advanced to the next dose tier. A specific safety threshold for congestive heart failure and other adverse events was defined based on data from previous studies.
