About this study

Official title: A Phase 3 Multicenter 24-Week Open-Label Study to Evaluate the Safety, Tolerability, and Efficacy of Atogepant When Added to OnabotulinumtoxinA (BOTOX) for the Preventive Treatment of Chronic Migraine

Migraine is characterized by attacks of throbbing, moderate or severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, and/or sensitivity to light and/or sound. The study will assess safety and tolerability of atogepant when added to BOTOX, as well as prospectively evaluate the efficacy of add-on atogepant for migraine prevention. Adverse events and change in disease activity will be monitored.

Atogepant is an investigational drug being developed to prevent chronic migraine. Approximately 75 adult participants will be enrolled at approximately 30 sites in the United States.

Read more

All participants will receive atogepant oral tablet once a day (QD) during the 24-week treatment period, in addition to their standard of care Botox.

There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires.

What is being measured

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

  1. Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs)

    An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study drug. A serious adverse event (SAE) is an event that results in death, is life-threatening, requires or prolongs hospitalization, results in a congenital anomaly, persistent or significant disability/incapacity or is an important medical event that, based on medical judgment, may jeopardize the participant and may require medical or surgical intervention to prevent any of the outcomes listed above. Treatment-emergent adverse events/treatment-emergent serious adverse events (TEAEs/TESAEs) are defined as any event that began or worsened in severity on or after the first dose of study drug.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until 4 weeks following last dose of study drug (up to 28 weeks)

  2. Percentage of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Laboratory Values (Chemistry, Hematology, Urinalysis) as Assessed by the Investigator

    Clinical laboratory test values are considered PCS if they meet either the lower-limit or higher-limit PCS criteria defined in the categories below. The percentage of participants with PCS laboratory values are summarized for hematology, chemistry, and urinalysis.

    Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR) is a clinical measurement that calculates how many milliliters of blood the kidneys filter every second. Glucose, Urinalysis: At least 1+ indicates that the urine contains an increased concentration of sugar. Protein, Urinalysis: At least 1+ indicates that the urine contains an increased concentration of protein.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until last dose of study drug (24 weeks)

  3. Percentage of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Vital Sign Measurements as Assessed by the Investigator

    Potentially Clinically Significant post-Baseline vital sign values are summarized for categories: systolic and diastolic blood pressures [sitting], pulse rate [sitting], and weight. Number of participants with non-PCS baseline values who met the PCS criterion at least once post-baseline are reported.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until last dose of study drug (24 weeks)

  4. Percentage of Participants With Most Severe Suicidal Ideation and Suicidal Behavior as Assessed by the Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) During the Open-Label Treatment Period

    The C-SSRS is a clinician-rated instrument that reports the severity of both suicidal ideation and behavior. Suicidal ideation is classified on a 5-item scale: 1 (wish to be dead), 2 (nonspecific active suicidal thoughts), 3 (active suicidal ideation with any methods [not plan] without intent to act), 4 (active suicidal ideation with some intent to act, without specific plan), and 5 (active suicidal ideation with specific plan and intent). Suicidal behavior is classified on a 5-item scale: 0 (no suicidal behavior), 1 (preparatory acts or behavior), 2 (aborted attempt), 3 (interrupted attempt), and 4 (actual attempt). More than 1 classification can be selected provided they represent separate episodes. (Minimum total score 0, maximum total score 5; higher total scores indicate more suicidal ideation and/or suicidal behavior).

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until last dose of study drug (24 weeks)

  5. Percentage of Participants With Potentially Clinically Significant (PCS) Electrocardiograms (ECGs) Findings as Assessed by the Investigator

    12-lead ECGs were performed at select study visits.

    Measured: From first dose of study drug until last dose of study drug (24 weeks)
