Registered outcomes17

Each outcome the trial registered, primary first, in ClinicalTrials.gov's words.

ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Freedom From Pain at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose
Pain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the electronic clinical outcome assessment (eCOA) handheld device. Pain freedom was defined as pain level of none post-dose.
PrimaryPercentage of Participants With Freedom From Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose
MBS was reported as nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia at migraine onset using the eCOA handheld device. Symptom status (absent, present) was assessed post-dose using the eCOA handheld device separately for nausea, photophobia, and phonophobia. Freedom from MBS was defined as MBS reported at on-study migraine attack onset that was absent post-dose.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dosePain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eCOA handheld device. Pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Were Able to Function Normally at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose
Functional disbaility level was assessed on a 4-point scale (normal function, mildly impaired, severely impaired, requires bedrest) using the eCOA handheld device. Normal function was defined as a functional disability level of normal post-dose in the subset of participants with functional disability (mildly impaired, severely impaired, requires bedrest) at on-study migraine attack onset.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Rescue Medication Use Within 24 Hours Post-doseThrough 24 hours post-dose
Participants who did not experience relief of their migraine headache at the end of 2 hours after dosing with study medication (and after the 2-hour assessments had been completed on the eCOA handheld device) were permitted to use the following rescue medications: aspirin, ibuprofen, acetaminophen up to 1000 mg/day (this includes Excedrin® Migraine), naproxen (or any other type of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug), antiemetics (for example, metoclopramide or promethazine), or baclofen. The participant's use of rescue medication was recorded by the site on a case report form.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Freedom From Photophobia at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose
Photophobia (sensitivity to light) status was measured as absent or present in the eCOA handheld device. Freedom from photophobia was defined as photophobia absent post-dose in the subset of participants with photophobia present at on-study migraine attack onset.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Freedom From Phonophobia at 2 Hours Post-dose2 hours post-dose
Phonophobia (sensitivity to sound) status was measured as absent or present in the eCOA handheld device. Freedom from phonophobia was defined as phonophobia absent post-dose in the subset of participants with phonophobia present at on-study migraine attack onset.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 60 Minutes Post-dose60 minutes post-dosePain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eCOA handheld device. Pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants Who Were Able to Function Normally at 60 Minutes Post-dose60 minutes post-dose
Functional disbaility level was assessed on a 4-point scale (normal function, mildly impaired, severely impaired, requires bedrest) using the eCOA handheld device. Normal function was defined as a functional disability level of normal post-dose in the subset of participants with functional disability (mildly impaired, severely impaired, requires bedrest) at on-study migraine attack onset.
SecondaryPercentage of Participants With Pain Relief at 30 Minutes Post-dose30 minutes post-dosePain levels were assessed on a 4-point scale (none, mild, moderate, severe) using the eCOA handheld device. Pain relief was defined as pain level of none or mild.
