Intravenous Minocycline in Acute Stroke: A Randomized, Controlled Pilot Study and Meta-analysis [Clinical Sciences]

Conclusions— In this pilot study of a small sample of acute stroke patients, intravenous minocycline was safe but not efficacious. The study was not powered to identify reliably or exclude a modest but clinically important treatment effect of minocycline. Larger trials would improve the precision of the estimates of any treatment effect of minocycline. Clinical Trial Registration— URL: http://www.anzctr.org.au. Unique identifier: ACTRN12612000237886.
