Ischemic Stroke, Acute, Minocycline, Endovascular Treatment
About this trial
This is an interventional treatment trial for Ischemic Stroke, Acute focused on measuring Ischemic Stroke, Basilar Artery Occlusion, Endovascular Treatment, Minocycline, Neuroprotection, Futile Recanalization
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age ≥ 18 years old.
- Patients had acute symptoms and signs compatible with ischemia due to basilar artery occlusion (BAO), treated with endovascular therapy. Patients with occlusion of intracranial segments of both vertebral arteries (VA) resulting in no flow to the basilar artery (eg, functional basilar artery occlusion) were also eligible for the study.
- Last known well to groin puncture between 0 to 24 hours, whether or not patients had thrombolysis with rt-PA.
- Pre-stroke mRS score of 0-1.
- Baseline expanded NIHSS (e-NIHSS) score ≥ 6.
- Signed Informed Consent obtained.
- Neuroimaging Inclusion Criteria: (1) Proven large vessel occlusion in BAO or VA-V4 occlusion (mTICI score 0-1) determined by MRA or CTA; (2) pc-ASPECTS score ≥ 6 (Non-Contrast CT or DWI); Pons-midbrain-index of<3.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Age<18 years old.
- Complete cerebellar infarct with significant mass effect or has the imaging features of acute hydrocephalus in NCCT.
- Intracranial hemorrhage.
- Previous stroke in the past 90 days; cardiopulmonary resuscitation was performed within 10 days prior to onset.
- Known hereditary or acquired hemorrhagic diathesis, coagulation factor deficiency, INR >3, or platelet<40×109/L.
- Glucose <2.2 or >22 mmol/L.
- Systolic blood pressure persistently>185mmHg post-MT despite antihypertensive intervention; Diastolic blood pressure persistently>110mmHg post-MT despite antihypertensive intervention.
- Acute or chronic renal failure of CKD grade 3-4.
- Known allergy or hypersensitivity to contrast dye or tetracycline group of drugs.
- Epileptic seizure at symptom onset.
- Life expectancy (except for stroke) < 3 months.
- Female who is pregnancy or breastfeeding, or whom do not use effective contraception at childbearing age.
- Pre-existing mental illness that interferes with neurological evaluation.
- Known current participation in another clinical investigation with experimental drug.
- Unlikely to be available for 90 days follow-up.

Treatment group
Control group
Patients randomized to the treatment group will receive oral minocycline in addition to endovascular treatment and other standard medical. The first dose of minocycline will be administered 200 mg orally prior to successful reperfusion, followed by 100 mg every 12 hours times for a total of 5 days. If vomiting occurs within half an hour of the first dose, the clinician should assess the necessary of re-administering 100mg based on the severity of vomiting. If the patient is considered to be at any risk for aspiration or is unable to swallow based on swallowing evaluation, study drug will be oral via feeding tube.
Patients randomized to the control group will receive endovascular treatment and other standard treatment, without minocycline treatment.
