简要总结
The purpose of this study is to evaluate minocycline as a potential treatment for bipolar depression when added to a mood-stabilizing medication. Minocycline is an antibiotic that is approved for the treatment of infections and acne. Participation in this research study is expected to last 8 weeks, and includes five outpatient visits.
详细描述
Bipolar depression remains the great unmet need in the treatment of bipolar disorder. Only two treatments have been FDA-approved for the management of acute bipolar depression (the combination of olanzapine and fluoxetine and quetiapine). Early pilot data suggests the drug minocycline has potent antidepressant effects. Minocycline is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) (for acne and bacterial infections), is inexpensive and readily available in generic formulation, and is generally well-tolerated. This study will examine whether administering the drug minocycline to individuals with bipolar depression over 8 weeks will improve their depressive symptoms. This study will also offer an option to participate in proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (1H-MRS) to measure N-Acetylaspartate (NAA) levels in the brain, which are thought to be decreased in bipolar disorder.

结局指标
主要结局
Change in Scores on the Montgomery-Asberg Depression Rating Scale (MADRS)
时间窗: baseline and week 8
Measured at baseline and week 8. The MADRS-S has 10-items which are based on mood symptoms over the past 7 days. Each items is scored 0 (normal) to 6 (severe depression) with overall score ranges from 0 (normal) to 60 (severe depression).
次要结局
- Change in N-acetylaspartate (NAA), as Measured by 1H-MRS Scan(baseline and week 8)
- Changes in Young Mania Rating Scale (YMRS)(baseline and week 8)
