This study is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, double-dummy, placebo-controlled, crossover, three-attack, outpatient study in which TREXIMA will be compared to a butalbital-containing combination medication (BCM; acetaminophen 325mg, caffeine 40mg, and butalbital 50mg [Fioricet]) for the acute treatment of migraine headaches.
Subjects will be randomized to one of 6 possible treatment sequences (TPB, TBP, BTP, BPT, PTB, PBT). Subjects will treat each of the 3 migraine attacks when pain is moderate to severe. (T = TREXIMA; P = placebo; B = butalbital)
The study will include 4 visits: (1) a Screening visit at study entry, (2) a Drug Screen visit, (3) a Randomization visit, (4) a Final visit. The Final visit occurs either (A) upon withdrawal, or (B), after treatment of 3 migraine attacks, or C) if the study concludes prior to the subject treating 3 attacks.
The primary objective is to evaluate the efficacy of TREXIMA versus BCM for the acute treatment of moderate/severe migraine.
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Subjects with a sustained pain-free (SPF) response from 2-24 hours in subjects using TREXIMA versus those using BCM [ Time Frame: 2-24 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Subjects who are pain-free (PF) at 2 hours post-treatment [ Time Frame: 2-48 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Effects on cognition of treating with BCM vs TREXIMA (as measured by the Mental Efficiency Workload Test (MEWT), measured at 2, 4, 6, 8, 24, and 48 hours [ Time Frame: 2-48 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
- Subjects who use rescue medi [ Time Frame: 2-48 hours ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]
