Arms of the Study

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Experimental

No Intervention

Arm Label

Minocycline

Control

Arm Description

This intervention arm will receive a total of 5 doses of Minocycline. Dose 1 of Minocycline will be 400mg IV within 12-hours of onset of symptoms. Dose 2 of Minocycline will be 400mg oral, given daily on days 2-5 . Each dose is 24 hours apart.

This arm will not receive any minocycline. This arm will receive standard of care treatment.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Modified Rankin Scale
A blinded assessor will perform the modified Rankin Scale (this is the full scale name) after 90 days. This will serve as our efficacy endpoint. The scale measures function. It ranges from 0 to 6 with zero reflecting no disability, 1 to 5 increasing degrees of disability and 6 death. Lower numbers reflect preferred outcome. There are no sub scales.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Safety Assessment
Adverse events will be asses for 90 days. This will serve as our safety endpoint.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
The MACH Trial is a pilot study of 400mg minocycline over five days in acute intracerebral hemorrhage patients. The study will evaluation the safety and efficacy of minocycline in intracerebral hemorrhage patients.
Detailed Description
MACH is a randomized trial of minocycline in intracerebral hemorrhage. 24 total subjects will be randomly assigned to minocycline or control (1:1). The first dose will be given intravenously. Subsequent doses will be given orally every 24 hours for a total of five doses. The study will test to see if the medication is safe in intracerebral hemorrhage. The pharmacokinetics of minocycline in intracerebral hemorrhage will be determined and the impact of minocycline on blood biomarkers.
