What is being measured

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

  1. Headache responder rate at two hours after the first dose for the first attack.

    A headache response was defined as a subject having improvement in headache severity from grade 2 or 3 at baseline to 0 or 1 at two hours post-dose.

    Measured: 2 hours

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Pain free responder rate at two hours after the first dose for the first attack.

    Pain free response was defined as improvement from grade 2 or 3 at baseline to grade 0 at two hours post-dose.

    Measured: 2 hours

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 3 study testing Eletriptan 20 mg, Eletriptan 40 mg and Eletriptan 80 mg in people with Migraine With or Without Aura, run by Pfizer's Upjohn has merged with Mylan to form Viatris Inc..

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 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 28 Jan 2021. 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 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?

Headache responder rate at two hours after the first dose for the first attack. (time frame: 2 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 28 Jan 2021.
