About this study
Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group, Dose-Response Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Topiramate in the Prophylaxis of Migraine
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of three doses of topiramate (50 milligrams[mg], 100mg, and 200mg per day) compared with placebo in the prevention of migraine. The study will also assess the dose response relationship and the efficacy of treatment with topiramate versus placebo on Health-Related Quality of Life.
Read the detailed description
This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multi-center study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of three different doses of topiramate (50mg, 100mg, and 200mg daily) in migraine prophylaxis. The study consists of five phases: Baseline (determination of whether patients meet the eligibility criteria and tapering of any migraine medication patients are already taking), Double-Blind (patients receive either 50 milligrams[mg], 100mg, 200mg of topiramate, or placebo), Blinded Transition Phase (doses of study medication are adjusted over 7 weeks in preparation for the Open-Label Extension Phase), Open-Label Extension Phase (patients continue the study medication in open-label manner for up to 6 months; doses are adjusted to maximize effectiveness and minimize side effects), Taper/Exit Phase (study medication is slowly discontinued over 2 weeks). The primary study hypothesis is that one or more of the three doses of topiramate (50, 100, 200 mg/day) will be superior to placebo in the prophylaxis of migraine based on the change in monthly (28 day) migraine period rate from the Prospective Baseline Period to the Double-Blind Phase. Topiramate tablets (50milligrams [mg], 100mg, 200mg, or placebo) taken by mouth as twice-daily regimen during the 26-week Double-Blind Phase. Doses are adjusted and continued during the 6 month Open-Label Extension Phase after which they are tapered over 2 weeks.

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 3 study testing topiramate in people with Migraine and Common Migraine, run by Johnson & Johnson Pharmaceutical Research & Development, L.L.C..
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 4 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 19 Nov 2010. 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?
Change in monthly (28 day) migraine period rate from the prospective baseline period to the double-blind phase.. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.
Where can I read the original study information?
On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00231595, which also lists 1 linked publication.
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 19 Nov 2010.
