What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • TopiramateDrug

    Topiramate - Participants will undergo a 6 week titrated regimen of oral topiramate to reach a maximum dose of 400mg per day:

    Week 1 - topiramate PO 25mg daily Week 2 - topiramate PO 25mg twice daily Week 3 - topiramate PO 50mg twice daily Week 4 - topiramate PO 100mg twice daily Week 5 - topiramate PO 150mg twice daily Week 6 - topiramate PO 200mg twice daily

Study groupRoleWhat they receive
ENG Implant UsersExperimentalHealthy women using an ENG implant for at least 12 months and no greater than 36 months will be administered a 6 week titration schedule of topiramate to a max dose of 200mg bid by the final week.
Receives: Drug: Topiramate

What is being measured

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

  1. Serum Etonogestrel Concentrations

    The investigators will collect serum from participants at enrollment and at each of the three study follow-up visits. All samples will be batched for analysis. Analysis will be performed using a liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry validated assay for measurement of serum etonogestrel concentration.

    Measured: Enrollment (Baseline), 4 weeks (Visit 2), 5 weeks (Visit 3), 6 weeks (Visit 4)

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing Topiramate in people with Migraine and Migraine;Menstrual, run by University of Colorado, Denver at 1 site 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 2 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: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 13 Jul 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

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 13 Jul 2022). 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?

Serum Etonogestrel Concentrations (time frame: Enrollment (Baseline), 4 weeks (Visit 2), 5 weeks (Visit 3), 6 weeks (Visit 4)). 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 NCT03335163, 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 13 Jul 2022.
