Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Dose-Finding Study of Topiramate (JNS019) in Participants With Migraine (NCT NCT01081795)

NCT ID: NCT01081795

Last Updated: 2013-07-02

Results Overview

As per 24-hour rule, if symptom of pain due to migraine continues for more than 24 hours, it should be considered as 2 or more migraine attacks considering the maximum duration up to 24 hours. If the interval between latest migraine attack (ending time) and previous migraine attack (onset time) is less than 24 hours, 2 migraine attacks should be considered as 1 migraine attack. If the onset of migraine was prevented by a rescue drug, it should be considered as 1 migraine attack even if aura had started. Mean change was calculated by subtracting baseline value from the mean of 6 months value.

Population: The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment excluding those who did not meet eligibility criteria, did not receive study treatment at all and did not provide any efficacy data after randomization.

Migraine is a headache disorder with 2 subtypes: migraine without aura (at least 5 attacks lasting 4-72 hours with at least 2 following characteristics: unilateral location, pulsating quality, moderate/severe pain and either nausea/vomiting or photophobia and phonophobia) and migraine with aura (reversible focal neurological symptoms that develop over 5-20 minutes and last for less than 60 minutes); average at given month was calculated by dividing total number of migraine attack days until that month by the total number of days of assessment, multiplied by 28 (a month was equal to 28 days).

Population: The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment excluding those who did not meet eligibility criteria, did not receive study treatment at all and did not provide any efficacy data after randomization.

Headache days were the days when at least 30-minute migraine and non-migraine headache occurred and were calculated from the headache diaries kept by the participants. Average at given month was calculated by dividing total number of headache days until that month by the total number of days of assessment, multiplied by 28 (a month was equal to 28 days).

As per 48-hour rule, if the symptom of pain due to migraine continues for more than 48 hours, it should be considered as 2 or more migraine attacks considering the maximum duration up to 48 hours. If the interval between the latest migraine attack (ending time) and the previous migraine attack (onset time) is less than 48 hours, the 2 migraine attacks should be considered as 1 migraine attack. If the onset of the migraine was prevented by a rescue drug, it should be considered as 1 migraine attack even if the aura had started.

Timeframe: Baseline (28 days before randomization), Week 19 to Week 22 Period

Population: The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment excluding those who did not meet eligibility criteria, did not receive study treatment at all and did not provide any efficacy data after randomization.

The change from baseline in average number of migraine attacks (as per 24-hour rule) over Week 19 to Week 22 period was calculated by subtracting the baseline value from the average value of the Week 19 to Week 22 period.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (28 days before randomization)

Population: The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment excluding those who did not meet eligibility criteria, did not receive study treatment at all and did not provide any efficacy data after randomization.

Rescue medications are administered to participants when efficacy of study drug is not satisfactory, or effect of study drug is too great and is likely to cause a hazard to participant, or to manage an emergency situation. If an aura of migraine, a migraine attack or a non-migraine headache attack occurred during the study period, use of following rescue drugs was permitted: analgesics, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), ergotamines, triptans and anti-emetics (drug used to stop vomiting). Average at baseline was calculated by dividing total number of rescue drug treatment days until baseline by the total number of days of assessment, multiplied by 28 (a month was equal to 28 days).

Timeframe: Month 6

Population: The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment excluding those who did not meet eligibility criteria, did not receive study treatment at all and did not provide any efficacy data after randomization.

Rescue medications are medicines that may be administered to the participants when efficacy of study drug is not satisfactory, or the effect of study drug is too great and is likely to cause a hazard to the participant, or to manage an emergency situation. If an aura of migraine, a migraine attack or a non-migraine headache attack occurred during the study period, use of following rescue drugs was permitted: analgesics, NSAIDs, ergotamines, triptans and anti-emetics. Average at Month 6 was calculated by dividing total number of rescue drug treatment days until that month by the total number of days of assessment, multiplied by 28 (a month was equal to 28 days).

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline (28 days before randomization), Day 29, 85 and final evaluation (FE) (Day 155/early withdrawal [EW])

Population: The FAS included all participants randomly assigned to study treatment excluding those who did not meet eligibility criteria, did not receive study treatment at all and did not provide any efficacy data after randomization. Here 'n' signifies those participants who were evaluable for this measure at given time points.

The SF-36 is a survey of participant health. It consists of 8 scaled scores, which are weighted sums of the questions in their section. The 8 sections are: vitality, physical functioning, bodily pain, general health perceptions, physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, social role functioning and mental health. Each item is scored on a 0-100 range so that total score ranges from 0-100 with high score indicating more favorable health state. Final evaluation was done at Day 155 or at discontinuation for those participants who discontinued before Day 155.
