About this study
Official title: An Open-label Study of the Safety and Efficacy of Topiramate for the Prophylaxis of Chronic Migraine: Extension Study to CAPSS-276
The purpose of this study is to assess the long-term safety and effectiveness of topiramate for the prevention of headaches in adults with chronic migraine. Topiramate has been approved to prevent migraine headaches.
Read the detailed description
Migraine headaches can be disabling and can interfere with work and a person's quality of life. Preventing these headaches before they start is the best option. Topiramate, an anti-seizure medication, has been shown to help prevent migraine headaches from occurring. This is an open-label study that is an extension of a previous study (CAPSS-276) of Topiramate in chronic migraine. It includes patients who completed the previous study or who stopped the study early after taking study drug for at least 4 weeks of maintenance treatment due to lack of efficacy. The current study will involve a 4-week Blinded Transition Phase during which patients will be titrated up to a daily topiramate dose of 100 milligrams (or the maximum tolerated dose, whichever is less). Then there will be a 12-week Open-Label Maintenance Phase during which the topiramate dose may be adjusted according to effectiveness and tolerance, but not to exceed a daily dose of 400 milligrams. After this period, patients will be tapered off topiramate (Taper/Exit Phase). The length of the taper/exit phase may vary based on the dose the patient was taking during the open label maintenance phase. While on topiramate, patients will record daily entries in their headache records. Patients will also be asked questions to help assess their quality of life. Both patients and doctors will be asked questions at the end of the study about their impressions of change with respect to the patient's migraine headaches. Patients will also have physical and neurological examinations and laboratory tests performed during the study. The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and effectiveness of topiramate for the prevention of chronic migraine headaches. Topiramate oral tablets, 25 milligrams per tablet, will be given in the morning and evening to a dose not to exceed 400 milligrams per day or to the maximum tolerated dose, whichever is less

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.
Who may be eligible to take part?
The sponsor lists 5 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. 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 10 Jun 2011. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
What are the possible benefits and risks?
They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. 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 3 studies compare the treatment with the current standard treatment or a placebo in a large group, to confirm how well it works and watch for side effects.
Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.
Are results available for this study?
The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.
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?
Patient diaries for number & severity of migraine or migrainous headaches, symptoms, & other medications used; Migraine Disability Assessment, Migraine-Specific Quality of Life, Physicians & Subjects Global Impression of Change for quality of life. 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 10 Jun 2011.
