NCT ID: NCT02176655

Last Updated: 2017-03-23

Results Overview

Headache severity 2 hours post treatment in sumatriptan succinate 12.5 mg and acetylsalicylic acid 325 mg (VVD-101) vs. placebo. Headache severity was measured on a 4 point Likert scale with 0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe pain.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: Immediately Prior to Treatment through 2 Hours Post Treatment

Population: Given the design of the study, all subjects treated headaches 1-6 in a randomized fashion with either VVD-101 or placebo, therefore the same 25 subjects are in the VVD-101 and Placebo analysis population. A total of 25 subjects were analyzed for this endpoint.

Headache severity 2 hours post treatment in sumatriptan succinate 12.5 mg and acetylsalicylic acid 325 mg (VVD-101) vs. placebo. Headache severity was measured on a 4 point Likert scale with 0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe pain.

Timeframe: Response to Treatment of Three Headaches (estimated 6 months)

Population: Given the design of the study, all subjects treated headaches 1-6 in a randomized fashion with either VVD-101 or placebo, therefore the same 25 subjects are in the VVD-101 and Placebo analysis population. A total of 25 subjects were analyzed for this endpoint.

To assess the consistency of response to VVD-101 over the three active treatments of VVD-101. Consistency is defined as meeting the requirements of headache relief 2 hours post treatment for 2 out of 3 active treated headaches. Headache relief is defined as a headache going from moderate or severe to mild or no headache or mild headache going to no headache. Headache severity was measured on a 4 point Likert scale with 0 = no pain, 1 = mild pain, 2 = moderate, 3 = severe pain.
