About this study

Official title: A Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Multicenter Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerance and Efficacy of a Single Subcutaneous Dose of TEZAMPANEL in Patients With Acute Migraine

To evaluate the effects of a single sc administration of TEZAMPANEL at one of three different dosage levels compared to placebo, employing traditional measures of efficacy and safety in the treatment of a single episode of acute migraine.

Read the detailed description

Primary:

  • Headache relief (headache response) defined as the percentage of patients in each treatment group who experience a decrease in pain from moderate or severe intensity pre-dose (baseline) to mild or no pain 2 hours after study drug administration and prior to use of rescue medication.

Secondary:

  • Percentage of patients in each treatment group who are pain-free two hours after study drug administration, prior to the use of any rescue medication
  • Sustained headache response rate (percentage of patients in each treatment group with headache response at Hour 2 and no rescue medication or headache recurrence from 2 through 24 hours)
  • Sustained pain-free rate (percentage of patients in each treatment group who are pain free at Hour 2 with no rescue medication or headache recurrence from 2 through 48 hours)
  • Recurrence rate (percentage of patients in each treatment group with an Hour 2 mild response or pain-free response who subsequently develop a headache rated as moderate to severe in intensity within 2 to 24 hours)
  • Relapse rate (percentage of patients in each treatment group with an Hour 2 pain free response who subsequently develop a headache rated as moderate to severe in intensity within 2 to 48 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 2 study testing TEZAMPANEL in people with Migraine, run by TorreyPines Therapeutics at 1 site in United States.

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 10 inclusion and 14 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 4 Dec 2007. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. 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 2 studies give the treatment to a larger group to see whether it has the intended effect and to keep checking safety.

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?

Headache pain intensity, associated symptoms, functional response questionnaires, time to meaningful pain relief. (time frame: 4 Hours). 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 4 Dec 2007.
