Trial Outcomes & Findings for An Efficacy and Safety Study of DFN-02 (Sumatriptan Nasal Spray 10 mg) (NCT NCT02856802)

NCT ID: NCT02856802

Last Updated: 2021-03-30

Results Overview

Freedom from headache pain at 2 hours after the first dose of study medication taken within one hour after experiencing a migraine attack of moderate to severe headache pain during the DB1 treatment period, e.g., headache pain rating of moderate \[Grade 2\] or severe \[Grade 3\] predose and reduced to none \[Grade 0\] postdose). Mild headache pain was recorded as Grade 1. If the subject was not able to use study medication for the first migraine after randomization, they were instructed to use the study medication for the next attack. If the subject experienced insufficient relief from the first dose of study medication, they were permitted to take a second dose of study medication or rescue medication 2 or more hours after the first dose, and only after completing the 2 hours' postdose assessments. If no relief was experienced from the first dose of study medication after 2 hours only rescue medication could be administered. Maximum 2 doses of study medication per 24 hours.

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours after study medication administration

Population: Full Analysis Set (FAS) population. Last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method. The FAS included all randomized subjects who took at least one dose of study medication during the DB treatment period (1) and had at least one post-baseline efficacy time point assessment in DB treatment period (1).

Freedom from headache pain at 2 hours after the first dose of study medication taken within one hour after experiencing a migraine attack of moderate to severe headache pain during the DB1 treatment period, e.g., headache pain rating of moderate \[Grade 2\] or severe \[Grade 3\] predose and reduced to none \[Grade 0\] postdose). Mild headache pain was recorded as Grade 1. If the subject was not able to use study medication for the first migraine after randomization, they were instructed to use the study medication for the next attack. If the subject experienced insufficient relief from the first dose of study medication, they were permitted to take a second dose of study medication or rescue medication 2 or more hours after the first dose, and only after completing the 2 hours' postdose assessments. If no relief was experienced from the first dose of study medication after 2 hours only rescue medication could be administered. Maximum 2 doses of study medication per 24 hours.

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 2 hours after study medication administration

Population: Subjects who reported a MBS predose and reported the status of the MBS at the particular postdose time point were analyzed.

Number of participants with their MBS among nausea, photophobia and phonophobia absent at 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 90, and 120 minutes after the first dose of study medication taken for a migraine attack during DB1 treatment period are summarized by treatment group and time point for the full analysis set (FAS1). The corresponding p-values from Fisher's exact test were computed for the comparison between treatment groups. Subjects who reported a MBS predose and reported the status of the MBS at the particular postdose time point were analyzed.

Population: Last observation carried forward (LOCF) imputation method. Analysis included all randomized subjects who took at least one dose of study medication during the second DB treatment period (2) and had at least one post-baseline efficacy time point assessment in DB treatment period (2).

In Double-blind Treatment Period 2 (DB2), freedom from headache pain 2 hours after the first dose of study medication taken within one hour of experiencing a migraine attack for any headache pain level, e.g., mild \[Grade 1\], moderate \[Grade 2\], or severe \[Grade 3\] and reduced to none \[Grade 0\] after study medication administration. If the subject was not able to use study medication for the first migraine after randomization, they were instructed to use the study medication for the next attack.
