Brief Summary: To date, no neuroprotective drugs have demonstrated clinical efficacy in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH). This study will use intravenous (IV) minocycline in ICH to evaluate for (1) safety/ tolerability and (2) evaluate for clinical efficacy
Detailed Description: Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) remains a devastating neurological disorder with high mortality and poor prognosis with unchanged mortality rates (53-59%). Acute treatment options for ICH remain supportive with no available effective drug or surgical therapy. All trials so far have failed to improve clinical outcome in randomized, double-blinded trials. However, one area of interest has been maintaining the integrity of the blood-brain-barrier (BBB) and preventing the growth of vasogenic edema. Matrix metalloproteinases (MMP) are a family of ubiquitous zinc-dependent endopeptidase enzymes whose primary function is the digestion of collagen type IV, laminin, and fibronectin for the purpose of remodeling extracellular basal lamina. Elevated MMP-9 as a pathological process associated with larger hematoma volume, larger perihematomal edema, and poorer clinical outcome in intracerebral hemorrhage is well documented in animal models and patients. One particular MMP-9 inhibitor gaining usage in cerebrovascular disease is minocycline. Normally FDA-approved for bacterial infection and acne vulgaris, minocycline has also been found to be both a safe and effective treatment in ischemic stroke; its potential role as a neuroprotectant in ischemic stroke is currently being tested in a large, randomized, double-blinded trial. Minocycline's beneficial role as a neuroprotectant may also extend to ICH. By inhibiting MMP-9, minocycline may decrease BBB permeability, resulting in less perihematomal edema and decreased mass effect. Although numerous animal ICH models support minocycline's role as an inhibitor of MMP-9 and neuroprotectant, its use has never been studied in humans with ICH.
