What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Mean Change From Observation Phase (OP) in the Number of Migraine Days Per Month Over Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation or recurrence of migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as migraine with or without aura, lasting for greater than or equal to (>=) 30 minutes, and met at least one of the following criteria (A and/or B): A. >=2 of the following pain features: a. Unilateral location, b. Pulsating quality (throbbing), c. Moderate or severe pain intensity, d. Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (e.g. walking or climbing stairs) B. >= 1 of following associated symptoms: a. Nausea and/or vomiting b. Photophobia and phonophobia. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived as follows: 28*(total number of migraine days through Month 3[Weeks 1 to 12] in on-DBT efficacy analysis period)/ (total number of eDiary efficacy data days through Month 3[Weeks 1 to 12] in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period).
Measured: Observation Phase: 28 days prior to randomization and baseline; Entire DBT Phase: 12 weeks (Week 1 through 12)
Secondary outcomes (20)
Percentage of Participants With >= 50 % Reduction in Number of Moderate to Severe Migraine Days Per Month Over Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as migraine with or without aura, lasting for greater than or equal to (>=) 30 minutes, and met at least one of following criteria (A and/or B): A. >=2 of following pain features: a. Unilateral location, b. Pulsating quality (throbbing), c. Moderate or severe pain intensity, d. Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (e.g. walking or climbing stairs) B. >= 1 of the following associated symptoms: a. Nausea and/or vomiting b. Photophobia and phonophobia. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived as follows: 28*(total number of migraine days through Month 3[Weeks 1 to 12] in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period)/ (total number of eDiary efficacy data days through Month 3[Weeks 1 to 12] in on-DBT efficacy analysis period).
Measured: Entire DBT Phase: 12 weeks (Week 1 through 12)
Mean Change From Observation Phase in the Number of Migraine Days Per Month in the Last 4 Weeks (Weeks 9 to 12) of DBT Phase
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with or without aura, lasting for greater than or equal to (>=) 30 minutes, and met at least one of the following criteria (A and/or B): A.>=2 of the following pain features: a. Unilateral location, b. Pulsating quality (throbbing), c. Moderate or severe pain intensity, d. Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (e.g. walking or climbing stairs) B. >= 1 of the following associated symptoms: a. Nausea and/or vomiting b. Photophobia and phonophobia. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived for month (i.e., 4-week interval) in on-DBT efficacy analysis period as follows: 28* (total number of migraine days in the month[Week 9 to 12])/(total number of eDiary efficacy data days in the month[Week 9 to 12]).
Measured: Observation Phase: 28 days prior to randomization and baseline; DBT Phase: last 4 weeks (Week 9 through 12)
Mean Change From Observation Phase in the Number of Migraine Days Per Month in the First 4 Weeks (Weeks 1 to 4) of DBT Phase
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with or without aura, lasting for greater than or equal to (>=) 30 minutes, and met at least one of the following criteria (A and/or B): A. >=2 of the following pain features: a. Unilateral location, b. Pulsating quality (throbbing), c. Moderate or severe pain intensity, d. Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (e.g. walking or climbing stairs) B. >= 1 of the following associated symptoms: a. Nausea and/or vomiting b. Photophobia and phonophobia. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived for month (i.e., 4-week interval) in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period as follows: 28* (total number of migraine days in the month[Week 1 to 4])/ (total number of eDiary efficacy data days in the month[Week 1 to 4]).
Measured: Observation Phase: 28 days prior to randomization and baseline; DBT Phase: first 4 weeks (Week 1 through 4)
Mean Number of Acute Migraine -Specific Medication Days Per Month Over Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)
Acute migraine (AM)-specific medication day was defined as any calendar day on which the participant took an acute migraine-specific medication during aura or to treat a headache. Acute migraine-specific medications were triptans and ergotamine. The number of acute migraine-specific medication days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived as follows: 28 * (total number of acute migraine-specific medication days through Month 3 [Week 1 to 12] in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period)/ (total number of eDiary efficacy data days through Month 3 [Week 1 to 12] in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period).
Measured: Entire DBT Phase: 12 weeks (Week 1 through 12)
Mean Change From Baseline in the Migraine-specific Quality of Life Questionnaire (MSQ) v 2.1 Restrictive Role Function Domain Score at Week 12
MSQ v 2.1 is 14-item questionnaire that assessed impact of treatment on participant-reported quality of life across 3 domains: role function-restrictive, preventive, and emotional function. Restrictive role function domain consists of 7 items that describe how migraine limits one's daily social, work-related activities. Participants respond to items using a 6-point scale ranging from 1 (none of the time) to 6 (all of the time), which are assigned scores of 1 to 6, respectively. Response from each item of restrictive role function domain were added providing a possible raw score range of 7 (no impairment) to 42 (maximum impairment). Raw score range of restrictive role function domain was then transformed to a 0 (no impairment) to 100 (maximum impairment), higher scores = higher impairment.
Measured: DBT Phase: Baseline (before dose on Day 1), Week 12
Mean Change From Baseline in the Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Total Score at Week 12
MIDAS is a retrospective, participant-reported, 5-item questionnaire that measured headache related disability as lost days due to headache from paid work or school, household work and non-work activities over past 3-months. The total score is calculated as the sum of item scores to all 5 questions on a scale of 0 (no disability) to 90 (maximum disability) resulting into overall possible MIDAS total score (range from 0 (no disability) to 450 (maximum disability). Higher scores = more severe disability.

Primary outcome
Mean Change From Observation Phase (OP) in the Number of Migraine Days Per Month Over Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12)
Time frame: Observation Phase: 28 days prior to randomization and baseline; Entire DBT Phase: 12 weeks (Week 1 through 12)
A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation or recurrence of migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as migraine with or without aura, lasting for greater than or equal to (>=) 30 minutes, and met at least one of the following criteria (A and/or B): A. >=2 of the following pain features: a. Unilateral location, b. Pulsating quality (throbbing), c. Moderate or severe pain intensity, d. Aggravation by or causing avoidance of routine physical activity (e.g. walking or climbing stairs) B. >= 1 of following associated symptoms: a. Nausea and/or vomiting b. Photophobia and phonophobia. The number of migraine days per month were prorated to 28 days and derived as follows: 28*(total number of migraine days through Month 3[Weeks 1 to 12] in on-DBT efficacy analysis period)/ (total number of eDiary efficacy data days through Month 3[Weeks 1 to 12] in the on-DBT efficacy analysis period).

Questions about this trial
What is this clinical trial studying?
A Phase 2/3 study testing BHV-3500 (zavegepant) in people with Migraine, run by Pfizer at 116 sites 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 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: stopped early, as of the sponsor's last update on 27 Mar 2025. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.
Where is the study taking place?
The record lists 116 sites 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 combined 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.
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?
Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 27 Mar 2025). 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?
Mean Change From Observation Phase (OP) in the Number of Migraine Days Per Month Over Entire DBT Phase (Weeks 1 to 12) (time frame: Observation Phase: 28 days prior to randomization and baseline; Entire DBT Phase: 12 weeks (Week 1 through 12)). 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 NCT04804033, 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 27 Mar 2025.
