Participant Flow

First Patient Screened: 17 June 2009 Last Patient: 17 December 2009

Subjects meeting eligibility requirements at Screening were randomized at Visit 1 to NXN-188 600 mg, sumatriptan 100 mg or placebo in a 1:1:1 ratio. Randomized subjects were instructed to take study drug when they experienced a mild to moderate migraine headache with aura. Sunbjects not meeting the dosing criteria were discontinued from the study.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 24 hours

Population: The Full Analysis Set included all those subjects randomized who had dosed with study drug and had at least one (1) post study drug administration observation for headache severity. The Efficacy Evaluable Analysis Set, included all subjects with an imputed (LOCF) HSS at both the 2 hour time point and the 4 hour time point.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2, 4 and up to 24 hours

Population: Number of subjects who experienced headache relief within 4 hours

Headache relief is defined as a ≥ 1-point reduction from baseline in Headache Severity Score. The Headache Severity Score is a four-point scale: 0=no pain; 1 = mild pain; 2 = moderate pain; and 3 = severe pain. Headache recurrence is defined as any subject that experiences headache relief within 4 hours, who did not use rescue medication, and who experienced a worsening of their headache to moderate or severe within 24 hours following study drug administration.

Complete headache relief is defined as reduction of headache severity from moderate or severe to absent. Presence of Photophobia and Phonophobia measured on a 2-point scale: 0 = absent; 1 = present Nausea was measured on a 4-point scale: 0 = no nausea; 1 = mild nausea; 2 = moderate nausea; 3 = severe nausea
