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 to 68 years (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

All

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Male and female subjects age ≥ 18 years who met the International Headache Society (IHS) diagnostic criteria for migraine, with or without aura, and could reasonably expect to suffer at least one acute attack of migraine every 6 weeks.
  • Subjects required to have discontinued therapy with oral sumatriptan at least 2 weeks, but not longer than 2 years, prior to the screening visit.
  • Female subjects required to be adequately protected against pregnancy.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • pregnancy or breastfeeding, known coronary artery disease, significant arrhythmias, heart failure, significant ECG abnormalities, and uncontrolled hypertension.
  • Any significant systemic, organ, neurological, endocrine, metabolic, and psychological disorders reported by the patient or discovered during the physical examination
  • Subjects considered to have atypical migraine such as frequent attacks, prolonged aura or any migraine that was considered atypical.
  • Subjects who, during the course of the trial, required treatment with sumatriptan or any other 5-HT1B/1D agonist in addition to study medication.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
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.
Placebo Comparator: Placebo
Drug: Placebo
Subjects were randomized to one of the 3 treatment groups (eletriptan 40 mg, eletriptan 80 mg, or placebo) in a 2:2:1 ratio and were given sufficient medication to treat 3 migraine attacks (including a second dose for each attack for recurrence) within 18 weeks of the initial visit. Subjects were instructed to treat a moderate to severe migraine within 6 hours of the onset of pain provided the headache was not decreasing in severity, the aura phase had ended and they had taken no analgesic or antiemetic within 6 hours. Efficacy data was collected in a diary. Subjects were allowed to take rescue medication if they had no response to the study medication within 4 hours of onset.
Experimental: Eletriptan 40 mg
Drug: Eletriptan 40 mg
Subjects were randomized to one of the 3 treatment groups (eletriptan 40 mg, eletriptan 80 mg, or placebo) in a 2:2:1 ratio and were given sufficient medication to treat 3 migraine attacks (including a second dose for each attack for recurrence) within 18 weeks of the initial visit. Subjects were instructed to treat a moderate to severe migraine within 6 hours of the onset of pain provided the headache was not decreasing in severity, the aura phase had ended and they had taken no analgesic or antiemetic within 6 hours.

Experimental: Eletriptan 80 mg

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
The primary efficacy endpoint was 2-h headache response after taking the first dose of study medication for the first attack
Time Frame: 18 weeks
Subjects recorded the intensity of each migraine headache in the diary based on a 4-point scale: 0, pain absent; 1, mild pain; 2, moderate pain; 3, severe pain. A response was considered a change from severe or moderate pain to mild or absent at various time points after dosing with study medication
18 weeks

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
Sustained response was defined as achieving a headache response within 2 h post dose, with no recurrence or rescue medication needed
Time Frame: 18 weeks
Recurrence was defined as a return of headache to moderate or severe intensity within 2-24 h if the subject had an initial response within 2 h of taking the study medication.
18 weeks

Study Major Dates

Study Start

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.
January 1, 1999

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.
