Prospective, Randomized Investigation to Evaluate Incidence of Headache Reduction in Subjects With Migraine and PFO Using the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder to Medical Management.

The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) (a hole in the heart), using the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder, on the incidence of migraine headaches.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether percutaneous PFO closure is effective in reducing the incidence of disabling migraine headaches in patients who are refactory to medical treatment.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Primary Efficacy Endpoint - Percentage of Subjects With a 50% Reduction From Baseline in the Monthly Number of Migraine Attacks at 12 Months.
Time Frame: Baseline and months 10-12
A 50% reduction from the monthly number of migraine attacks during the 60-day baseline phase to the monthly number of migraine attacks during month ten through the twelfth month in the treatment phase (device group versus sham group).
Baseline and months 10-12
Primary Safety Endpoint - Device Related Serious Adverse Event (SAE)
Time Frame: Baseline through 12 months

Number of subjects who experience a device-related major adverse event (DRMAE) through 12-months of follow-up.

This endpoint was analyzed using an as-treated cohort that consists of all enrolled subjects who received the device (randomized and Optional PFO Closure group) and who had follow-up sufficient to adequately assess the DRMAE rate.

Baseline through 12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Mean Migraine Days/Month
Time Frame: Baseline and months 10-12
Change in the number of migraine days is calculated by the difference in the mean number of migraine days between the baseline assessment period and the treatment phase (months 10-12 post-procedure) for the respective randomization groups.
Baseline and months 10-12
Percentage of Subjects With Successful PFO Closure at 12-months
Time Frame: Baseline and month 12
Successful Closure by Core Lab Adjudicated Transcranial Doppler (TCD) Grade <= 2
Baseline and month 12
Change in Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Score From Baseline to 12-months
Time Frame: 12 months
The MIDAS questionnaire measure the impact of headaches on daily living. A total score of 0-5 equals little to no disability, 6-10 equals mild disability, 11-20 equals moderate disability, and a score 21 or greater equals severe disability. The maximum possible score is 276.
12 months
Incidence of a 75% Reduction in Migraine Headache Attacks
Time Frame: 12 months
12 months
Procedural Success
Time Frame: 12 months
Procedural success is calculated by the percent of device group subjects who were implanted with the study device and experienced no serious device or procedure-related adverse events.
12 months
Long-Term Success
Time Frame: 12 months
Percent of PFO closure group subjects who were implanted with the study device, experienced no serious device or procedure-related adverse events and have a core-lab adjudicated TCD Grade at Valsalva ≤ 2 at 1-year.
12 months
Incidence of All Adverse Events at 12-months
Time Frame: 12 months
12 months
Incidence of Device-related Adverse Events
Time Frame: 12 months
12 months
Incidence of a 95% Reduction in Migraine Headache Attacks
Time Frame: 12-months
12-months

Other Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) Scale
Time Frame: 12 months
The difference in BDI between baseline and 12-months for the respective randomization groups. The highest possible score of the BDI is 63, which represents extreme depression. The lowest possible score is 0, which represents no depression.
12 months
