Trial summary

Amylin and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) are related to the same peptide family. Both share 16 out of 37 amino acids and can activate each others receptor. CGRP is implicated in migraine pathophysiology but the role of Amylin and its receptor in migraine is not fully clarified. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Amylin and CGRP Migraine Provocation in Migraine Without Aura Patients

Amylin and calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP) are related to the same peptide family. Both share 16 out of 37 amino acids and can activate each others receptor. CGRP is implicated in migraine pathophysiology but the role of Amylin and its receptor in migraine is not fully clarified.

Read the detailed description

Amylin is a peptide hormone that binds to a G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR). amylin was originally found in the pancreas (Beta Cell of Islets of Langerhans) but also shown to be present in the trigeminal ganglion, hind horn ganglia and perivascular nerve fibers.

Amylin has many similarities with CGRP. Amylin and CGRP share 16 out 37 amino acids. Both peptides can activate the amylin 1 subtype (AMY1)receptor with high affinity and reported to have more similar physiological and pharmacological effects.

In addition, both peptides increase the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP (cAMP) which has a central role in migraine pathophysiology.

The aim of the study is pin point the role of amylin and amylin receptor compare to CGRP in migraine pathophysiology.

What participants receive

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

  • Amylin (Pramlintide)Other

    Pramlintide is a amylin analog. It will be given intravenously at the rate of 120 micrograms over 20 minutes .

  • CGRPOther

    CGRP It will be given intravenously at the rate of 30 microgram over 20 minutes.

What is being measured

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

  1. Migraine incidence

    Before (-10 min) and after infusion (+12 hours) of amlyin compared with before and after infusion of CGRP based on questionnaire reported headache and associated symptoms

    Measured: 12 hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Dilatation of Arteria radialis and arteria temporalis superficialis

    Dermascan will be used to measure the above mentioned Radial and temporal arteries diameter.

    Measured: 2 hours

  2. Facial flushing

    Flushing will measured by laser contrast imaging

    Measured: 2 hours

  3. Plasma blood samples

    Measumrent of amylin and CGRP peptides in the plasma in picomol/L

    Measured: 2 hours

  4. Headache intensity

    Measured by visual analog score (VAS) ( 0 to 10). Change in area under curve (AUC)

    Measured: 12 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Amylin (Pramlintide) and CGRP in people with Migraine Without Aura, run by Danish Headache Center at 1 site in Denmark.

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 15 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 25 Jun 2020. 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 Denmark. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Migraine incidence (time frame: 12 hours). 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 25 Jun 2020.
