Study of Treatment Used for Migraine Headaches (MK-0974-076) (MASTER)

May 26, 2017 updated by: Merck Sharp & Dohme LLC

Migraine Attack Study of Treatment, Efficacy and Resource Use (MASTER) - McKesson Substudy (MK-0974-076)

This study will describe the reasons for triptan utilization patterns (continuation and discontinuation) in triptan-naïve participants and assess the stability of treatment utilization patterns over time according to standard medical guidelines or clinical practice standards of the investigating physician.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Terminated

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

After study start, the Protocol was amended to clarifiy that the first triptan prescription must have been received by the participant within a time window of 3 months (± 2 weeks) prior to the participant being identified by the Investigator, and could be enrolled into the study within 6 months of taking the prescribed triptan medication for the first time and that use of a sample triptan would not disqualify a participant as long as the sample was of the same triptan that was eventually prescribed.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.
Observational

Enrollment (Actual)

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.

Ages Eligible for Study

18 years and older (ADULT, OLDER_ADULT)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

Participants with physician-diagnosed migraine (with or without aura) who have had at least two, but not more than 8 moderate to severe migraines during the 30 days prior to screening. Participants must have received a triptan prescription 3 months (± 2 weeks) prior to being identified by the physician, must have been triptan-naïve prior to that initial prescription, and must have taken triptan medication at least once within 6 months prior to the date of informed consent for screening.

Description

Inclusion criteria:

  • At least 18 years of age in the United States at the time of consent
  • Physician-diagnosed migraine with or without aura
  • At least two and up to a maximum of 8 moderate to severe migraine attacks during the 30 days prior to screening
  • Initial triptan prescription 3 months (± 2 weeks) prior to being identified as eligible for this study, and triptan-naïve before that initial prescription
  • Used triptan medication at least once within 6 months prior to the date of informed consent for screening
  • Internet access and able to complete online surveys via electronic data entry

Exclusion criteria:

  • Treated with triptans prior to this study
  • In active litigation and compensation issues including disability dispute cases with a Government agency
  • Participation in a clinical trial within the last 90 days

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Participants Enrolled in Protocol Version (V)1.1
Participants with physician-diagnosed migraine with or without aura who are treatment-naive to triptans, who received their first prescription for a triptan and took at least one dose within 6 months prior to being included in Protocol V1.1 of this study.
Drug: Statin Therapy
Investigator's choice of any statin.
Participants Enrolled in Protocol V2
Participants with physician-diagnosed migraine with or without aura who are treatment-naive to triptans, who received their first prescription for a triptan and took at least one dose within 6 months prior to being included in Protocol V2 of this study.
Drug: Statin Therapy

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 Using a Triptan for Migraine Attacks
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
Participants reported information online. For this measure, the number of participants who used at least one dose of any newly prescribed triptan for the first time in response to a migraine attack were counted.
Up to 3 months
Number of Participants Continuing Triptan Therapy
Time Frame: Up to 3 monoths
Participants reported information online. For this measure, the number of participants who continued to use a triptan after the first migraine attack were counted; switching from one triptan to another was considered continued use.
Up to 3 monoths
Main Reason for Stopping Triptan Use
Time Frame: Up to 3 months
Up to 3 months

These dates track the progress of study record and summary results submissions to ClinicalTrials.gov. Study records and reported results are reviewed by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to make sure they meet specific quality control standards before being posted on the public website.

Study Major Dates

Study Start (ACTUAL)

Study Start

The actual date on which the first participant was enrolled in a clinical study. The "anticipated" study start date is the date that the researchers think will be the study start date.
May 19, 2011

Primary Completion (ACTUAL)

Primary Completion

The date on which the last participant in a clinical study was examined or received an intervention to collect final data for the primary outcome measure. Whether the clinical study ended according to the protocol or was terminated does not affect this date. For clinical studies with more than one primary outcome measure with different completion dates, this term refers to the date on which data collection is completed for all the primary outcome measures. The "anticipated" primary completion date is the date that the researchers think will be the primary completion date for the study.
