Study 3: Minocycline Decreases Microglia Activation

NCT02213575

Non-randomizedSingle-groupOpen-labelTreatment

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.
