NCT ID NCT07526987
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jul 01, 2026 · Updated 2 times
Summary
This study tests whether the antibiotic minocycline can improve recovery in people having an ischemic stroke. About 934 adults will receive either minocycline or a placebo, in addition to standard clot-busting medication. The goal is to see if minocycline leads to better functional outcomes, like being able to live independently after the stroke.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could provide a simple, widely available add-on treatment to improve recovery after a stroke.
