Effects of Minocycline on Patients With Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Intravenous Thrombectomy (MIST-A)

Effects of Minocycline on Patients With Acute Anterior Circulation Ischemic Stroke Undergoing Intravenous Thrombectomy

Minocycline is the second generation of tetracycline. Because of its lipophilicity, it has high penetrance of blood-brain barrier. Animal model studies have shown that minocycline can reduce cerebral damage after ischemic stroke, and its mechanism involves multiple molecular pathways, such as antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, anti apoptotic pathways, and protection of blood-brain barrier. Clinical studies have also shown that minocycline can significantly improve 3-month National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) and modified Rankin Scale (mRS) of patients with ischemic stroke, indicating that minocycline is a potential neuroprotective drug. Minocycline is believed to protect the blood-brain barrier, thereby reducing the ischemia-reperfusion injury caused by mechanical thrombectomy. However, whether minocycline can become a synergistic treatment method of mechanical thrombectomy, there is no clinical research in this area at present. Therefore, investigators carry out the study on the effect of minocycline in patients with acute anterior circulation ischemic stroke after mechanical thrombectomy, and plan to enroll 180 patients. To explore the safety and effectiveness of minocycline in patients with acute ischemic stroke after thrombectomy.

  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Minocycline treatment group
Patients were given minocycline 200mg/d orally from the day of admission for 5 days. At the same time, the patient received mechanical thrombectomy and other standard treatments for acute ischemic stroke.
Minocycline is a tetracycline antibiotic. Previous studies have confirmed that its application in stroke patients has good efficacy and safety, suggesting that it could become a synergistic treatment of mechanical thrombectomy.
No Intervention: Routine treatment group
Patients were given mechanical thrombectomy and other standard treatment for acute ischemic stroke, without minocycline treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in infarct volume from baseline to day 7
Time Frame: Day 7 after onset
Baseline infarct volume is measured by diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI), day 7 infarct volume is measured by fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR), Images are processed by imSTROKE software.
Day 7 after onset

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Functional outcome at 3 months after onset
Time Frame: 3 months after onset
Defined by the modified Rankin Scale (mRS), which ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death), analyzed for superiority and then for noninferiority.
3 months after onset
Favourable outcome at 3 months after onset
Time Frame: 3 months after onset
Defined as proportion of patients with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-2, which ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death), An mRS score of <3 indicated a favourable outcome, whereas a score of ≥3 indicated a poor outcome.
3 months after onset
Excellent outcome at 3 months after onset
Time Frame: 3 months after onset
Defined as proportion of patients with modified Rankin Scale (mRS) 0-1, which ranges from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death), An mRS score of <2 indicated a excellent outcome, whereas a score of ≥2 indicated a poor outcome.
3 months after onset
Improvement of neurological function compared with baseline
Time Frame: day 1, day 3, day 5, day 7, and 3 months after onset
Defined by the National Institute of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS), which ranges from 0 (no neurological injury) to 42 (severe neurological injury). The assessment time points were baseline, day 1, day 3, day 5, day 7, and 3 months after onset.
day 1, day 3, day 5, day 7, and 3 months after onset
Improvement of activity of daily living at 3 months after onset
Time Frame: 3 months after onset
Defined by Barthel index (BI), which ranges from 0 (completely lose the ability to live independently) to 100 (complete ability to live independently). The assessment time points were 3 months after onset
3 months after onset
Incidence of intracranial hemorrhage at day 1 after onset
Time Frame: Day 1 after onset
Intracranial hemorrhage is measured by CT scan. Images are processed by RAPID ICH software.
Day 1 after onset
Mortality at 3 months after onset
Time Frame: 3 months after onset
The investigators record all-cause mortality
3 months after onset
Infarct volume at day 7 after onset
Time Frame: Day 7 after onset
Day 7 infarct volume is measured by fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR). Images are processed by imSTROKE software.
Day 7 after onset
Length of hospital stay and length of Intensive Care Unit (ICU) stay
Time Frame: 3 months after onset
How long the patients stay in hospital, and how long the patients stay in ICU
3 months after onset

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Safety outcomes: adverse events and serious adverse events
