- Use of over-the-counter (OTC) nasal products (ie, saline spray, Neti-Pot, Naväge® etc.) during the study.
- Any use of intranasal corticosteroid medications or conditions in which use of intranasal corticosteroids may be indicated during the study, eg, unstable allergic rhinitis that has previously required intranasal corticosteroids. Intranasal corticosteroid use is not allowed within 28 days of Baseline/Randomization/Visit 2 and during the treatment phase or follow-up period of the study.

Placebo Nasal SprayDrug
Patients will spray placebo nasal spray once into each nostril.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |

What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Change in the Number of Monthly Migraine Headache Days
Mean change in the number of monthly migraine headache days from the last 28 days of Baseline to the last 28 days of treatment (ie, month 3). A migraine headache day is any calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) in which the patient records in the e-diary:
- An attack lasting 4 hours or more and meeting the ICHD-3 criteria for migraine without aura, or
- A migraine with aura, or
- An attack that meets ICHD-3 criteria for probable migraine, (a migraine subtype fulfilling all but one criteria (B-D) for migraine without aura), or
- An attack of any duration that was believed by the patient to be a migraine and was relieved by a triptan, ergot derivative, or other migraine-specific abortive medication.
Measured: Last 28 days before Visit 2 (Day 1) and last 28 days before Visit 5 (Week 12)
Secondary outcomes (6)
Proportion of Patients Experiencing a ≥ 50% Reduction in the Number of Migraine Headache Days
Proportion of patients experiencing a ≥ 50% reduction in the number of migraine headache days from the last 28 days of Baseline to the last 28 days of treatment in each treatment group
Measured: Last 28 days before Visit 2 (Day 1) treatment and last 28 days before Visit 5 (Week 12)
Mean Change in the Number of Days Using Rescue Medication
Mean change in the number of days using rescue medication (triptan, ergot derivative, or other migraine-specific acute medication) from the last 28 days of Baseline to the last 28 days of treatment.
Measured: Last 28 days before Visit 2 (Day 1) treatment and last 28 days before Visit 5 (Week 12)
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC)
Proportion of patients with a Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) of 1, "very much improved", or 2, "much improved", at Week 12. Scores range from 1 to 7. Lower scores indicate more improvement.
Measured: Visit 5 (Week 12)
Mean Change in the Number of Moderate or Severe Headache Days
Mean change in the number of moderate or severe headache days from the last 28 days of Baseline to the last 28 days of treatment. A moderate or severe headache day is defined as any calendar day wherein a patient records a headache or migraine of moderate or severe peak intensity in the e-diary.
Measured: Last 28 days before Visit 2 (Day 1) and last 28 days before Visit 5 (Week 12)
Mean Change in the Number of Migraine Headache Days
Mean change in the number of migraine headache days from the last 28 days of Baseline to average number per 28 days over the entire 12-week duration of Treatment Period.
Measured: Last 28 days before Visit 2 (Day 1) and average per 28 days over 12-week Treatment Period
Mean Change From Baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire
Mean change from Baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ v2.1) at Week 12. Scores range from 0 to 100. Higher scores indicate better quality of life.
Measured: Visit 2 (Day 1) and Visit 5 (Week 12)

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2 study testing TNX-1900 in people with Chronic Migraine and Chronic Migraine, Headache, run by Tonix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at 26 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?
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 Feb 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 26 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 25 Feb 2025). 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?
Mean Change in the Number of Monthly Migraine Headache Days (time frame: Last 28 days before Visit 2 (Day 1) and last 28 days before Visit 5 (Week 12)). 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 Feb 2025.
