Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Long-term Efficacy, Safety, and Tolerability Study of BOTOX® in Patients With Chronic Migraine (NCT NCT01516892)

NCT ID: NCT01516892

Last Updated: 2017-01-06

Results Overview

Mean change from Baseline in frequency (number) of headache days during the 28 day period ending with Week 108. A headache day was defined as a day (00:00 to 23:59) for which the participant reported a headache in the patient diary with 4 or more continuous hours of headache. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 108

Population: Analysis Population included all enrolled participants who had at least one efficacy assessment at baseline or a post-baseline visit.

Mean change from Baseline in frequency (number) of headache days during the 28 day period ending with Week 108. A headache day was defined as a day (00:00 to 23:59) for which the participant reported a headache in the patient diary with 4 or more continuous hours of headache. A negative change from Baseline indicates improvement.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: Baseline, Week 60, Week 108

Population: Participants from the Analysis Population, all enrolled participants who had at least one efficacy assessment at baseline or a post-baseline visit, with data available for analysis.

The HIT-6 measures the impact of headache and treatment on the participant's functional health and well-being in 6 domains: pain; role functioning (ability to carry out usual activities); social functioning; energy or fatigue; cognition; and emotional distress assessed over the prior 4-week period. The total possible score ranges from 36 (no impact) to 78 (worst impact). A negative change from Baseline indicates an improvement, and a positive change from Baseline indicates a worsening.
