About this study
The purpose of this retrospective claims database study was to compare the change in migraine-related prescription (i.e. NSAIDs, Opioids, Ergots) utilization among migraine suffers following initiation of Treximet ™ (sumatriptan/naproxen) compared with subjects initiating treatment with other orally available triptans. The study was used to validate the migraine-related prescription utilization patterns predicted by the Treximet ™ Budget Impact Model.
The SourceLx dataset from the family of Wolters Kluwer databases was used for this analysis. The database contains 30% of prescription claims filled in the United States (US), approximately 160 million patient lives. The data has broad representative coverage at both the geographic and payment levels.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Number of Triptan Tablets Per Participant in 6-month Follow-up Period: Treatment-naïve Analysis
The mean number of tablets per participant was computed using prescription fills dispensed in the 6-month follow-up period. "Other" represents acetaminophen (APAP)/isometheptene/dichlorphenazone and APAP/isometheptene/caffeine, for example. The number of tablets dispensed was obtained from the "quantity dispensed field" in the claims data. Triptan tablets were classified as index and non-index medication (if a different oral triptan was filled from that of the index medication); only oral triptans were considered (i.e., excluded injectable triptans).
Measured: 6-months from the index date (from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009; the index date was defined as the first date of oral triptan/sumatriptan-naproxen sodium prescription)
Mean Health Plan Cost Per Participant for Migraine-related Medications in 6-month Follow-up Period: Treatment-naïve Analysis
Health plan cost was defined as the pharmacy costs. Pharmacy costs were computed corresponding to the use of triptans, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and other migraine therapy tablets (ergots and others). Pharmacy costs were calculated as the mean of the total costs of the five drug categories.
Measured: 6-months from the index date (from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009; the index date was defined as the first date of oral triptan/sumatriptan-naproxen sodium prescription)
Mean Total Cost (Health Plan Plus Participant Copay Costs) Per Participant for Migraine-related Medications in 6-month Follow-up Period: Treatment-naïve Analysis
Mean Total Cost was defined as the pharmacy cost plus the participant copay. Pharmacy costs were computed corresponding to the use of triptans, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and other migraine therapy tablets (ergots and others). Pharmacy cost plus participant copay was calculated as the mean of the total costs (pharmacy cost plus participant copay) of the five drug categories.
Measured: 6-months from the index date (from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009; the index date was defined as the first date of oral triptan/sumatriptan-naproxen sodium prescription)
Mean Number of Triptan Tablets Per Participant in 6-month Follow-up Period: Treatment-switch Analysis
The mean number of tablets per participant was computed using prescription fills dispensed in the 6-month follow-up period. "Other" represents APAP/isometheptene/dichlorphenazone and APAP/isometheptene/caffeine, for example. The number of tablets dispensed was obtained from the "quantity dispensed field" in the claims data. Triptan tablets were classified as index and non-index medication (if a different oral triptan was filled from that of the index medication); only oral triptans were considered (i.e., excluded injectable triptans).
Measured: 6-months from the index date (from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009; index date was defined as the first switch date to oral triptan/sumatriptan-naproxen sodium prescription)
Mean Health Plan Cost Per Participant for Migraine-related Medications in 6-month Follow-up Period: Treatment-switch Analysis
Health Pan Cost was defined as the pharmacy costs. Pharmacy costs were computed corresponding to the use of triptans, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and other migraine therapy tablets (ergots and others). Pharmacy costs were calculated as the mean of the total costs of the five drug categories.
Measured: 6-months from the index date (from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009; index date was defined as the first switch date to oral triptan/sumatriptan-naproxen sodium prescription)
Mean Total Cost (Health Plan Plus Participant Copay Costs) Per Participant for Migraine-related Medications in 6-month Follow-up Period: Treatment-switch Analysis
Mean Total Cost was defined as the pharmacy cost plus the participant copay. Pharmacy costs were computed corresponding to the use of triptans, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, opioids, and other migraine therapy tablets (ergots and others). .Pharmacy cost plus participant copay was calculated as the mean of the total costs (pharmacy cost plus participant copay) of the five drug categories.
Measured: 6-months from the index date (from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009; index date was defined as the first switch date to oral triptan/sumatriptan-naproxen sodium prescription)

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 30 May 2017. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
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.
Are results available for this study?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 11 Apr 2011). 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?
Mean Number of Triptan Tablets Per Participant in 6-month Follow-up Period: Treatment-naïve Analysis (time frame: 6-months from the index date (from January 1, 2009 to May 31, 2009; the index date was defined as the first date of oral triptan/sumatriptan-naproxen sodium prescription)). The study lists 6 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 30 May 2017; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 28 Oct 2026.
