Researchers are investigating the effectiveness and safety of oral minocycline compared to placebo in patients who have experienced an acute spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage within 48 hours of symptom onset. This phase III clinical trial is designed as a prospective, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aiming to improve recovery outcomes in this patient population. An additional goal is to assess the impact of minocycline on markers of venous neuroinflammation at various times after the hemorrhage. A total of 1192 participants will be randomly assigned in equal numbers to receive either minocycline capsules containing 50 mg of minocycline hydrochloride or matching placebo capsules for five days. All participants will also receive standard medical care based on current guidelines. The study includes three phases: screening and baseline, treatment, and follow-up. Participants will be evaluated at several time points including screening/baseline, 72 ±12 hours, 7 ±1 days, 90 ±7 days, and 180 ±7 days after randomization, as well as during any relevant events. Researchers will measure the primary outcome of disability and functional status using the modified Rankin Scale score (mRS) at 90 days post-randomization, aiming for scores between 0 and 3. Throughout the study, assessments and interviews will monitor safety, efficacy, and treatment adherence.
