About this study

Official title: A Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled Study to Assess the Safety, Tolerability, and Single-Dose Pharmacokinetics of MK0462 in Subjects With Migraines Aged 6 to 17 Years

A study to assess the safety, tolerability, and single dose pharmacokinetics of a marketed drug in pediatric subjects with migraines.

After completion of a portion of the study (Panels A and B), a regulatory agency issued an amended request that the 12-17 year old age group studied should include a similar number of male and female subjects. Therefore, the study was amended to add an additional panel of subjects (Panel C) to ensure gender balance specifically in this age group.

Being tested
rizatriptan benzoate (5 mg), rizatriptan benzoate (10 mg), Rizatriptan 5 mg Placebo, Rizatriptan 10 mg Placebo

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Safety and Tolerability of Single Doses of Rizatriptan in Pediatric Migraineurs

    All adverse experiences spontaneously reported by subject and/or observed by investigator and repeated clinical evaluation of physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram) and laboratory safety tests (hematology/blood chemistry/urinalysis)

    Measured: 24 Hours

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. Preliminary Pharmacokinetic Data Following Single Dose Administration of Rizatriptan- Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-∞))

    Preliminary pharmacokinetics data; Area Under the Curve (AUC(0-∞)); i.e., area under the concentration-time plot

    Measured: 24 Hours

  2. Preliminary Pharmacokinetic Data Following Single Dose Administration of Rizatriptan - Maximum Concentration (Cmax)

    Preliminary pharmacokinetics data; Maximum concentration (Cmax); i.e, highest concentration of drug achieved

    Measured: 24 Hours

  3. Preliminary Pharmacokinetic Data Following Single Dose Administration of Rizatriptan - Time to Maximum Concentration (Tmax)

    Preliminary pharmacokinetics data; Time to maximum concentration (Tmax); i.e., amount of time required to reach maximum concentration

    Measured: 24 Hours

  4. Preliminary Pharmacokinetic Data Following Single Dose Administration of Rizatriptan - Apparent Half-life (Apparent t½)

    Preliminary pharmacokinetics data; Apparent half-life (t½)

    Measured: 24 Hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 1 study testing rizatriptan benzoate (5 mg) and rizatriptan benzoate (10 mg) in people with Migraine Disorders, run by Organon and Co.

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 3 inclusion and 3 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 Apr 2024. 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. 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 1 studies test a treatment in a small group of people for the first time or in a new way, mainly to check safety and find the right dose.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 2 Sep 2009). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

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?

Safety and Tolerability of Single Doses of Rizatriptan in Pediatric Migraineurs (time frame: 24 Hours). 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 NCT00604812, 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 Apr 2024.
