Last Updated: 2010-12-29

Results Overview

SPF 2-24 hours is defined for all participants as having no pain at 2 hours post-dose and without the return of any pain or the use of any rescue medication (any medication taken after the first dose of study medication for any migraine pain or symptoms) from 2-24 hours.

Recruitment status

COMPLETED

Study phase

PHASE3

Target enrollment

375 participants

Primary outcome timeframe

From 2 to 24 hours post-dose. All 3 migraine attacks were to have been treated within 19 weeks of randomization (when study medication was dispensed).

Participant Flow

Results for the TRX109011 (NCT00573170) and TRX109013 (NCT00599157) studies were pooled for analysis. Individual studies were not analyzed or reported separately. The individual protocols were amended while ongoing to allow for pooling of study data for analysis.

Randomized participants were treated for three separate migraine attacks with three different investigational products, assigned in randomized order, as one of six possible treatment sequences. Not all participants enrolled in the study were randomized for treatment; those participants who were randomized are said to have "started" the study

Treximet, Placebo, Butalbital-containing Combo. Medication
Fixed dose combination (combo.) tablet of sumatriptan succinate (equivalent to sumatriptan 85 milligrams \[mg\]) and naproxen sodium 500 mg (Treximet) for treatment of first migraine attack, followed by a 7-day washout period; matching placebo for treatment of second migraine attack, followed by a 7-day washout period; comparator of acetaminophen 325 mg, caffeine 40 mg, and butalbital 50 mg (butalbital-containing combination medication), currently marketed as Fioricet, for treatment of third migraine attack. Treatment of each separate migraine attack had to be preceeded by a 24-hour pain-free period to ensure that a separate migraine attack was being treated.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: From 2 to 24 hours post-dose. All 3 migraine attacks were to have been treated within 19 weeks of randomization (when study medication was dispensed).

Population: Intent-to-Treat (ITT) Population: all participants who were treated with investigational product and provided at least one post-dose efficacy assessment . Participants may have been included in one, two, or all of the Placebo, Treximet and Butalbital-containing combination medication arms due to the cross-over nature of the study design.

SPF 2-24 hours is defined for all participants as having no pain at 2 hours post-dose and without the return of any pain or the use of any rescue medication (any medication taken after the first dose of study medication for any migraine pain or symptoms) from 2-24 hours.

Population: ITT Population - including only those participants who reported phonophobia at dose time.

Population: ITT Population

Overall cognition was assessed with a composite score (range 0-9) called the Performance Index, as derived from the number of correct responses per minute on subtests of the Mental Efficiency Workload Test (MEWT) cognitive battery. For a particular participant, lower scores indicate a negative impact, or worsened, general cognition; higher scores indicate improved cognition.

Population: ITT Population. Only participants who responded to the SS scale at a particular time point were included in the analysis for that time point.

Participant alertness was evaluated with the 7-point modified SS scale, where 1 is "feeling active, vital, alert, wide awake", 2 is "still functioning at high levels, but not peak; able to concentrate", 3 is "awake, but relaxed; responsive but not fully alert", 4 is "somewhat foggy, let down", 5 is "foggy, losing interest in remaining awake", 6 is "sleepy, woozy, fighting sleep, prefer to lie down", and 7 is "no longer fighting sleep, sleep onset soon, having dream like thoughts".

Population: ITT Population: those participants who provided any information for the PPMQ-R.

The PPMQ-R questionnaire was used to assess participant satisfaction with migraine medication; the answers are used to generate a total score and 4 subscales scores for efficacy, functionality, ease-of-use and bothersomeness-of-side effects. The total score was calculated as the average of the efficacy, functionality and ease-of-use subscores. Subscores could range from 0 to 100; higher scores indicate greater satisfaction.

Clinical disability for each participant was assessed using the CDQ. This scale uses one question to assess ability to perform normal or usual activities. Responses are recorded on a 5-point scale, where 1 is "normal/not impaired", 2 is "mildly impaired", 3 is "moderately impaired", 4 is "severely impaired", and 5 is '"required bedrest".

0/405 • Adverse events (AEs) were collected from the time of first dose of study medication until the final study visit (within 19 weeks of randomization). Serious AEs were also collected if they occurred prior to dosing and were related to screening procedures.
AEs and SAEs were assessed in the Safety Population (SP), comprised of all 442 participants treated at least once with study medication. Only a portion of the participants who were randomized comprise the SP. Reflecting the study's cross over design, AEs are categorized by the initial blinded treatment for the attack treated preceding AE onset.
