This Phase 2B clinical trial of Staccato Prochlorperazine has been initiated to assess the efficacy and safety in outpatients with migraine headache with or without aura.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Headache Pain Relief at 2 hr

    Headache pain relief at 2 hr post-dose by IHS Definition (none=0 or mild=1),

    Measured: 2 hr post-dose

Secondary outcomes (2)
  1. Responders, Pain-Free at 2 Hours

    Percentage of Responders, Pain-Free, by Treatment Group over Time

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Survival of Headache Pain Relief

    Survival for time to the first successful headache pain relief by Pain-IHS definition over the 0 to 4 hr period by treatment assigned. Pairwise comparisons were made for each of the 3 active doses to placebo. Survival Analysis (Kaplan-Meyer) was included to evaluate treatment efficacy over the 0 to 4 hr period. All tests were 2-sided with a p-value at α=0.05.

    Measured: 0 to 4 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing Inhaled PCZ 5 mg, Inhaled PCZ 7.5 mg and Inhaled PCZ 10 mg in people with Migraine Headache and Aura, run by Alexza Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 25 sites in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 8 inclusion and 16 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 25 Jan 2018. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 25 sites in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 25 Jan 2018). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Headache Pain Relief at 2 hr (time frame: 2 hr post-dose). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 25 Jan 2018.
