Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 18 to 65 years
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Who may be able to join
- Subject was previously enrolled in study NP101-007 and treated (patch activation) a qualifying migraine.
- Subject will be judged to be in good health, based upon the results of a medical history, physical examination, vital signs, and ECG. Subjects will not have any clinically significant abnormal vital signs or ECG parameters in order to qualify for enrollment. ECG must be done at enrollment for NP101-008 unless ECG for the Final Visit of study NP101-007 was conducted within 30 days.
- Female subjects of childbearing potential (not surgically sterile or 2 years post menopausal) must have a negative pregnancy test at enrollment.
Who cannot join
- Subject has less than two potential skin application sites.
- Subject has clinically significant abnormal vital signs or ECG parameters or had an adverse event while participating in NP101-007 that would preclude the continued treatment with the NP101 patch.
- Subject has had changes in their medical history or medication use that would preclude their use of sumatriptan as per the approved Imitrex® product Prescribing Information (PI) or their safe use of NP101 as per the NP101 Investigator's Brochure.
- Subject has or plans to start, stop, change treatment or dose of any of the following within 3 months prior to the subject's study Enrollment date and through the Final Visit: anxiolytics, lithium and other mood stabilizers such as valproate, carbamazepine or lamotrigine, hypnotics or antipsychotics.
- Subject has taken non-triptan serotonergic drugs including selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI), serotonin and norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor (SNRI), tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs), monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) or preparations containing St. John's Wort within 1 month prior to enrollment and/or is planning to start any of these medications during the study (through Final Visit).
- Female subjects who are pregnant, breast feeding, or of childbearing potential, and are not using or are unwilling to use an effective form of contraception during the study and for a period of 30 days following Final Visit. Acceptable methods of contraception include barrier method with spermicide, intrauterine device (IUD), steroidal contraceptive (oral, transdermal, implanted or injected) or abstinence. If the exclusive male partner is surgically sterile, this will be acceptable.
- Subject has participated in a clinical study within 30 days of enrollment (excluding NP101-007) or is planning to participate in another clinical study for the duration of NP101-008.

About this study
Official title: An Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety of NP101, a Sumatriptan Iontophoretic Transdermal Patch, in the Treatment of Acute Migraine Over 12 Months
The primary objective is to evaluate the safety of long-term treatment with NP101 as assessed by:
- Subject self-examination skin irritation scores
- Adverse events
- Changes in vital signs and ECG parameters
Read more
The secondary objective is to evaluate the long term efficacy of NP101 as assessed by:
- Headache pain free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Headache pain relief at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Nausea free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Phonophobia free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Photophobia free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Migraine free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
This study will use an open-label design to assess the long term safety of NP101 (sumatriptan iontophoretic transdermal patch).
Subjects who continue to be in good health (use of a triptan or use of an NP101 patch is not contraindicated) and received treatment (patch activation) with the study patch for a qualifying migraine under study NP101-007 will be considered eligible for enrollment into the open-label study. Subjects will be expected to remain in the study for up to 12 months.

Measured: 24 hours post patch activation

- Subject self-examination skin irritation scores
- Adverse events
- Changes in vital signs and ECG parameters
The secondary objective is to evaluate the long term efficacy of NP101 as assessed by:
- Headache pain free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Headache pain relief at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Nausea free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Phonophobia free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Photophobia free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
- Migraine free at two hours after patch activation for all initial acute migraine attacks treated with NP101
This study will use an open-label design to assess the long term safety of NP101 (sumatriptan iontophoretic transdermal patch).
Subjects who continue to be in good health (use of a triptan or use of an NP101 patch is not contraindicated) and received treatment (patch activation) with the study patch for a qualifying migraine under study NP101-007 will be considered eligible for enrollment into the open-label study.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing NP101 in people with Migraine Disorders, run by NuPathe Inc. at 34 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 3 inclusion and 7 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 4 Feb 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 34 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. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
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 7 May 2013). 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?
Subject Self-examination of Skin Irritation (time frame: 24 hours post patch activation). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00792103, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 4 Feb 2016; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 6 Nov 2026.
