About this study

Official title: Early Intervention, Randomized, Mulitcenter, Placebo-Controlled, 4-Period Crossover, Multi-Attack Study to Evaluate Efficacy & Safety of ComboProduct Containing Sumatriptan and Naproxen Sodium for Acute Treatment of Migraine in Adolescents

The study involves approximately 105 adolescent (ages 12-17) subjects to be screened at 4 sites across the US. All subjects enrolled will treat up to 4 MILD migraines over a 6 month period. They will be required to have three office visits during the six months. All subjects will be randomized to either Treximet (85mg Imitrex/500mg Naproxen Sodium) or Placebo (sugar-pill) in four of the five treatment arms with a 3 to 1 ratio. A fifth treatment arm will treat all 4 migraines with active drug, Treximet. The hypothesis is that Treximet will prove to be a safe and effective treatment for this population, that has so few treatment for migraine. And Treximet will be superior over placebo for pain free endpoints at 2 and 24 hours.

Read the detailed description

There are two primary treatment comparisons for this study: 1) the percentage of subjects' pain free at 2 hours after treatment with TREXIMET versus placebo across attacks, and 2) the percentage of subjects who are sustained pain free at 24 hours after treatment with TREXIMET versus placebo across attacks.

The following alternative hypothesis will be tested to see if there is a difference in the proportion of subjects who are pain free at 2 hours with TREXIMET versus placebo at all attacks, OR there is a difference in the proportion of subjects who are sustained pain free at 24 hours with TREXIMET versus placebo at all attacks.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With 2-hour Pain Free Active Study Drug

    All data was collected and measured from self-reported patient diaries

    Measured: 3 years

  2. Percentage of Migraine Attacks With Sustained Pain Free Response From 2 to 24 Hours Post-Dose

    All data was collected and measured from self-reported patient diaries

    Measured: 3 years

  3. Percentage of Migraine Attacks With Pain Free Response at 2 Hours Post-Dose Following Early Intervention

    All data was collected and measured from self-reported patient diaries

    Measured: 3 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To Evaluate the Consistency of Response Across Four Migraine Attacks at 1, 2, 4, and 24 Hours After Treatment. Frequency of Rescue Medications Needed and the Consistency of Other Symptom Relief i.e. Nausea, Vomiting, Photophobia, and Phonophobia.

    Collected from patient reported paper diaries

    Measured: 3 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2/3 study testing Treximet in people with Migraine, run by Premiere Research Institute at 4 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 18 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 May 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 4 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 combined 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.

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 4 May 2016). 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?

Number of Participants With 2-hour Pain Free Active Study Drug (time frame: 3 years). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. 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 4 May 2016.
