TREXIMA Versus Butalbital-Containing Combination Medications for the Acute Treatment of Migraine in Adults - Full Text View

Sponsor:	GlaxoSmithKline
Information provided by:	GlaxoSmithKline
ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier:	NCT00573170

Purpose

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.

Subjects must have migraine with or without aura (2004 ICHD-II criteria) and must have had at least 2 attacks per month meeting these criteria in three months prior to screening.
Subjects must be able to understand how to complete the cognitive assessments and all other questionnaires programmed in an electronic diary (eDiary).
Subject must be able to read English or Spanish and comprehend protocol requirements
Subject is willing and able to provide written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

Subject has >8 migraines or 15 headache days per month in total
Subject has taken >350mg/day of butalbital and/or other barbiturates on average over the 30 days prior to screening.
Subject has a history of heart disease, abdominal perforation or surgery, abdominal ulcer in last 6 months, abdominal bleeding in last 12 months, bowel disease, and any bleeding disorder
Subject has allergy, intolerance, or contraindication to the use of any triptan, NSAID, aspirin, barbituates, or acetaminophen (including all sumatriptan and naproxen preparations), has porphyria or has nasal polyps and asthma.
Subject is currently taking, or has taken in the previous three months, a migraine prophylactic medication containing methysergide or dihydroergotamine; or is taking a migraine or prophylactic medication that is not stabilized (i.e. change of dose within the past 2 months) for either chronic or intermittent migraine prophylaxis or for a co-morbid condition that is not stabilized.
Subject has a recent history of regular use of opioids or barbiturates, other than Butalbital, for the treatment of their migraine headache and/or other non-migraine pain. Regular use is defined as an average of 4 days per month over the last 6 months
