About this study
Official title: A Prospective, Randomized, Vehicle-Controlled, Double-Blind, Phase 2 Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of B244 Delivered as an Intranasal Spray for Preventive Treatment in Subjects With Episodic Migraine
This is a prospective, randomized, vehicle-controlled, double-blind, multi-center study assessing the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of B244 delivered as an intranasal spray for preventive treatment in subjects with episodic migraine.
Read the detailed description
This is a Prospective, Randomized, Vehicle-controlled, Double-blind, Multi-center, 3-arm study assessing the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of B244 delivered as an intranasal spray for preventive treatment in subjects with episodic migraine.
At Screening and Baseline, all subjects must experiences 4-14 migraine days per month and 3-14 migraine attacks per month and no more than 14 headache days per month in the 3 months prior to screening.
The total duration of the study will be approximately 16 weeks. Participants will report for a Screening visit and if all inclusion criteria are met, subjects will go through a one month baseline period prior to randomization. Subjects will come in for visits at Day 28 (Week 4), Day 56 (Week8), Day 84 (Week12), and Day 112 (Week 16).
Efficacy will be assessed by change in migraine attacks, days, and hours. Blood and urine samples will be collected for standard safety laboratory testing and the effect of the drug on inflammatory biomarkers. Safety will be monitored throughout the study.
Investigators plan to enroll 303 total subjects. Subjects will be randomized 1:1:1 so that an equal number of subjects will be treated in each arm of the study.

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0
Safety and tolerability endpoints will consist of all adverse events reporting during the study duration.
Measured: Baseline to Day 112
Secondary outcomes (8)
Mean Change in Monthly Migraine Days.
Subjects made daily entries to include recordings of migraine frequency, duration, and severity that included information on migraine days (experiencing migraine with or without aura in a given day).
Measured: Baseline to Day 84
Mean Change in Monthly Migraine Attacks.
Subjects made daily entries to include recordings of migraine frequency, duration, and severity that included information on migraine attacks (an episode of any qualified migraine headache. To distinguish an attack of long duration from two attacks or to distinguish between attacks and relapses:
A migraine attack that is interrupted by sleep, or temporarily remits, and then recurs within 48 hours (i.e., <48 hours between the start of the migraine attack to the time of the recurrence) will be considered as one attack and not two.
-An attack treated successfully with medication but with relapse within 48 hours (i.e., <48 hours between the start of the migraine attack to the time of recurrence) will be considered as one attack.)
Measured: Baseline to Day 84
Proportion of Subjects Experiencing a 50%, 75%, and 100% Reduction in Monthly Migraine Days.
Subjects made daily entries to include recordings of migraine frequency, duration, and severity that included information on migraine days (experiencing migraine with or without aura in a given day).
Measured: Baseline to Day 112
Mean Change in Monthly Acute Migraine Specific Medication Days.
Subjects made daily entries to include recordings of migraine frequency, duration, and severity that included use of rescue (acute migraine specific) medications and dosing administration.
Measured: Baseline to Day 84
Mean Change in Monthly Headache Days.
Subjects made daily entries to include recordings of migraine frequency, duration, and severity that included information on headache days (a non-migraine headache day)
Measured: Baseline to Day 84
Mean Change From Baseline to 12 Weeks of Treatment in Disability, as Measured by the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS)
The Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) questionnaire was administered to study examine the relationship between the impact of migraine and quality of life where subjects scored 5 questions on a scale of 0 to 21+ (0-5=little or no disability, 6-10=mild disability, 11-20=moderate disability, 21+=severe disability). The total score ranges from 0 to 90.
Measured: Baseline to Day 84
Mean Change From Baseline to 12 Weeks of Treatment in Monthly Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) Questionnaire
The Headache Impact Test-6 (HIT-6) questionnaire was administered to examine the relationship between impact of migraine and quality of life. The total score ranges from 36 to 78 where a higher score indicates a greater impact on quality of life (Class I: 36-49, Class II: 50-55, Class III: 56-59, Class IV: 60+).
Measured: Baseline to Day 84
Mean Change From Baseline to 12 Weeks of Treatment in Monthly Migraine Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQL)
The Migraine Specific Quality of Life (MSQL) questionnaire was used to examine the impact of migraine on health-related quality of life across three domains: Role Function-Restrictive (7 questions) examines the degree to which performance of daily activities is limited by migraine; Role Function-Preventive (4 questions) examines the degree to which performance of daily activities is prevented by migraine; Emotional Function (3 questions) examines feelings of frustration and helplessness due to migraine. Total score for each domain ranges from 0 to 100, where a higher score indicates greater severity.
Measured: Baseline to Day 84

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing B244 in people with Migraine, run by AOBiome LLC at 22 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 7 inclusion and 19 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 Oct 2022. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 22 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. 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.
What does this 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.
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 Oct 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?
Number of Participants With Treatment-related Adverse Events as Assessed by CTCAE v4.0 (time frame: Baseline to Day 112). 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 Oct 2022; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 7 Nov 2026.
