Conditions

Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Brief summary

This study plans to enroll 1248 patients with supratentorial ICH within 24 hours of onset across multiple stroke centers. After randomization, the control group will only receive medical therapy. The experimental group, after randomization, will receive an initial dose of 200 mg of minocycline hydrochloride capsules in addition to medical ttherapy, followed by 100 mg orally every 12 hours for 7 days, resulting in a total of 14 administrations. Both groups will be followed for 180 days to evaluate the efficacy and safety of minocycline in the treatment of ICH.

MeasureTime frameDescription
The proportion of patients with favorable functional outcomes, defined as mRS 0-2 at 180 days.180 daysModified Rankin Scale (mRS) ranged from 0 to 6, a low value represents a better outcome.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The NIHSS scores after 7 days of treatment.7 daysThe NIHSS is an ordinal hierarchical scale to evaluate the severity of stroke by assessing a patient's performance. Scores range from 0 to 42, with higher scores indicating a more severe deficit.
The proportion of patients with an mRS score of 0-1 at 180 days.180 daysModified Rankin Scale (mRS) ranged from 0 to 6, a low value represents a better outcome.
The proportion of patients with favorable functional outcome (mRS score of 0-2) at 90 days.90 daysModified Rankin Scale (mRS) ranged from 0 to 6, a low value represents a better outcome.
