Study 3: Effect of Minocycline Treatment on Drug-Resistant Hypertensive Patients
In Brief
A Phase 2 clinical trial evaluating Minocycline for Hypertension. Completed, enrolled 5 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study is a mechanistic study that will enroll 9 subjects who are participating in NCT02133872 (which is designed to evaluate minocycline to test the hypothesis that minocycline treatment would produce antihypertensive effects in drug-resistant neurogenic hypertensive individuals) to test whether the antihypertensive effect of minocycline is associated with a decrease in activated microglia in central nervous system autonomic regions as evidenced by changes in PET and MRI imaging.
