About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Placebo-controlled, Double-blind, Multi-center Clinical Investigation to Evaluate the Performance and Safety of the Chordate System When Used in the Treatment of Acute Migraine Attacks of Moderate to Severe Intensity

The main purpose of the study is to evaluate the impact of treatment with the Chordate System S020 (medical device) on acute migraine headache pain.

Read the detailed description

One single migraine attack will be treated either with the Chordate System S020 or with Chordate System in placebo mode.

After a screening visit, up to 3 months before treatment, eligible subjects will be asked to return to the center at the onset of their next moderate to severe migraine attack. Subjects will be re-checked for eligibility, randomized and treated at the center (treatment visit). The subjects will record their response over the next 48 hours using a diary card. A follow-up visit will be scheduled 3 to 7 days after the treatment. In addition the subjects will be contacted within 24 to 48 hours after treatment initiation via a telephone contact to discuss their health including new or ongoing AEs.

What is being measured

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

  1. Headache relief

    Percentage of subjects with a decrease in migraine headache pain from severe or moderate prior treatment to mild or none at 2 hours after treatment initiation with no use of rescue medication during this time period.

    Measured: 2 hours after treatment initiation

Secondary outcomes (9)
  1. Pain-free rate

    Percentage of subjects pain-free (pain intensity rated 'No pain') at 2 hours after treatment initiation with no use of rescue medication.

    Measured: 2 hours after treatment initiation

  2. Incidence of recurrence

    Measured: 48 hours after treatment initiation

  3. 24 hour sustained pain-free rate

    percentage of subjects remaining pain-free

    Measured: 24 hours after treatment initiation

  4. 48 hour sustained pain-free rate

    percentage of subjects remaining pain-free

    Measured: 48 hours after treatment initiation

  5. Time to meaningful relief

    Measured: 4 hours post-treatment initiation

  6. Change in nausea, photophobia, phonophobia, vomiting and disability

    Measured: 2 hours post-treatment initiation

  7. Subject global impression

    Measured: 48 hours post-treatment initiation.

  8. Use of rescue medication

    Measured: 48 hours post-treatment initiation

  9. Frequency, severity, device-relationship and outcome of all adverse events

    Measured: 48 hours post-treatment initiation

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Chordate System S020 in treatment mode in people with Acute Migraine, run by Chordate Medical at 9 sites in Germany.

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 6 inclusion and 6 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 5 Aug 2015. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 9 sites in Germany. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study was stopped early (reason given: Too slow recruitment rate). Results are not available in the source record.

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 relief (time frame: 2 hours after treatment initiation). 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 5 Aug 2015.
