Novel Medication Strategies Targeting Brain Mechanisms in Pediatric OCD

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

This study will examine the feasibility and potential efficacy of augmenting SRIs with minocycline. The study will assess whether the addition of minocycline leads to measurable changes in striatal glutamate (Glu) levels. This study will recruit up to 45 youth ages 8-20 diagnosed with clinically significant OCD who have demonstrated no more than minimal response to SRI treatment and are currently on a stable dose of SRI medication for at least 12 weeks. Participants will be randomized to receive either 12 weeks of minocycline treatment or pill placebo. Randomization will be 2:1 so that 2 of 3 participants receive minocycline. Screening for eligibility will take place for 1-4 weeks. Participants will undergo magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) scans to measure striatal Glu levels prior to randomization, and again immediately following the treatment period. During the treatment period, participants will meet initially weekly and then every other week with the study psychiatrist. All participants will be offered three months of open medication treatment following participation. The clinical trial will only be conducted at the New York State Psychiatric Institute (NYSPI) and the MRS scans may be conducted at Weill Cornell Medical Center or NYSPI.
