What is being measured

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

  1. Complete headache relief

    The primary endpoint variable was the proportions of patients reporting complete headache relief 2 hours after dosing.

    Measured: At 2 hours after first dose

Secondary outcomes (6)
  1. Complete headache relief

    The secondary endpoint variable was the proportions of patients reporting complete headache relief 0.5 hour, 1 hour, and 4 hours after dosing.

    Measured: At 0.5 hour, 1 hour, and 4 hours after first dose

  2. Headache improvement.

    The secondary endpoint variable was the proportion of patients experiencing headache improvement at 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours after dosing.

    Measured: At 0.5 hour, 1 hour, 2 hours, 4 hours after first dose.

  3. Using the second dose of study medications.

    The secondary endpoint variable was the use of second dose when the severity of headache was still moderate or severe after the first dose within 2-48 hours

    Measured: At 2-48 hours after first dose.

  4. Using rescue medication between 2 and 48 hours postdose

    The secondary endpoint variable was the use of rescue medication (excluding triptans, and ergot-containing medication) within 4-48 hours after the second dose when headache severity was still at grade 2 ⁄ 3.

    Measured: At 4-48 hours after second dose.

  5. Rate of headache recurrence

    The secondary endpoint variable was a return to moderate or severe pain within 48 hours of first dose subsequent to primary improvement to mild or no pain at 2 hours.

    Measured: At 2-48 hours after first dose.

  6. Occurrence of adverse events.

    Presence or absence of adverse events occurred 4 hours after first dosing.

    Measured: At 4 hours after first dose.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Sumatriptan+Promethazine (SPr) in people with Migraine With Aura and Migraine Without Aura, run by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences at 1 site in Iran.

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 2 inclusion and 9 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 30 Jul 2013. 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 Iran. 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 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?

Complete headache relief (time frame: At 2 hours after first dose). 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 30 Jul 2013.
