A Study to Evaluate the Safety and Tolerability of Rizatriptan for Long Term Treatment of Acute Migraine in Children and Adolescents (MK-0462-086 AM3)

April 17, 2024 updated by: Organon and Co

A Worldwide, Open Label, Clinical Trial to Examine the Long Term Safety and Tolerability of Rizatriptan in Pediatric Migraineurs for the Treatment of Migraine With or Without Aura

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Number of Participants With Adverse Events (AEs) Within 24 Hours Post Any Dose
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post dose
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with study drug administration. Participants reported AEs in a diary and these were collected by the study site at visits at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months after Screening visit. Participants with an AE occurring within 24 hours after any dose administered during the study are counted once in this summary.
Up to 24 hours post dose
Number of Participants With AEs Within 14 Days Post Any Dose
Time Frame: Up to 14 days post dose
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with study drug administration. Participants reported AEs in a diary and these were collected by the study site at visits at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months after Screening visit. AEs were assessed in a phone contact 14 days after the last dose of study medication. Participants with an AE occurring within 14 days after any dose administered during the study are counted once in this summary.
Up to 14 days post dose
Number of Participants Discontinued From Study Due to AEs Occurring Within 24 Hours Post Dose
Time Frame: Up to 24 hours post dose
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with study drug administration. Participants who discontinued due to an AE occurring within 24 hours post dose are counted in this summary.
Up to 24 hours post dose
Number of Participants Discontinued From Study Due to AEs Occurring Within 14 Days Post Dose
Time Frame: Up to 14 days post dose
An AE is any unfavorable and unintended change in the structure, function or chemistry of the body temporally associated with study drug administration. Participants who discontinued due to an AE occurring within 14 days post dose are counted in this summary.
Up to 14 days post dose

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participant's Migraine Attacks With Pain Freedom at 2 Hours Post Dose
Time Frame: 2 hours post dose
Pain intensity was assessed using a 5-Face Pain Scale ranging from 1=no pain to 5=very bad pain. Pain freedom (PF) was defined as a reduction in severity from a rating of 5, 4, 3 or 2 (mild, moderate or severe pain) before the dose to a rating of 1 (no pain) at 2 hours after dosing. Pain intensity ratings were reported in diaries returned at visits at 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, and 12 months after Screening visit. PF at 2 hours was summarized as follows: the percentage of treated attacks with PF at 2 hours was calculated for each patient first, then the mean across all patients was calculated.
2 hours post dose
