Trial Outcomes & Findings for Comparative Study of Oral Atogepant Versus Oral Topiramate to Assess Adverse Events in Adult Participants With Migraine (NCT NCT05748483)

Comparative Study of Oral Atogepant Versus Oral Topiramate to Assess Adverse Events in Adult Participants With Migraine

An adverse event (AE) is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation participant administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment. The investigator assesses the relationship of each event to the use of study drug. Treatment-emergent adverse events (TEAEs) are defined as any AE with an onset date on or after the date of first dose of study drug during the Double Blind (DB) treatment period; and on or before the date of last dose of study drug during the DB treatment period (including tapering off phase, if applicable) + 30 days; and before the date of first dose of study drug during the Open Label (OL) treatment period, if applicable.

The mean monthly migraine days across Months 4 to 6 is calculated by taking the 3-month average of monthly migraine days over Months 4 to 6. The monthly migraine days is defined as the total number of recorded migraine days in the eDiary divided by the total number of days with eDiary records during each monthly period and multiplied by 28. The responder status of 50% reduction from Baseline is defined as a participant with at least a 50% reduction from Baseline in the 3-month average of monthly migraine days over Months 4 to 6.

The mean monthly migraine days across Months 4 to 6 is calculated by taking the 3-month average of monthly migraine days over Months 4 to 6. The monthly migraine days is defined as the total number of recorded migraine days in the eDiary divided by the total number of days with eDiary records during each monthly period and multiplied by 28.

The HIT-6 is a 6-item assessment used to measure the impact headaches have on a participant's ability to function on the job, at school, at home and in social situations. It assesses the effect that headaches have on normal daily life and the subject's ability to function. Responses are based on frequency using a 5-point scale ranging from "never" to "always." The HIT-6 total score, which ranges from 36 to 78, is the sum of the responses, each of which is assigned a score ranging from 6 points (never) to 13 points (always). Negative changes from Baseline in the HIT-6 score indicate improvement.

MSQ v2.1 is a 14-item questionnaire designed to measure health-related quality of life impairments attributed to migraine in the past 4 weeks. It is divided into three domains: Role Function Restrictive, Role Function Preventive, and Emotional Function domain. Participants respond to items using a 6-point scale ranging from "none of the time" to "all of the time." Raw dimension scores are computed as a sum of item responses and rescaled to a 0 to 100 scale, where higher scores indicate better quality of life.

The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) is a 7-point response scale. The participant response to the question, "Since you started the study treatment, how would you rate the change in your overall condition?" was assessed. Scores ranged from 1-7 on a scale of 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse). Higher values represent a worse outcome.

The Patient Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS®) Cognitive Function and Cognitive Function Abilities Subset item banks assess patient perceived cognitive deficits (i.e., mental acuity, concentration, verbal and nonverbal memory, verbal fluency, and perceived changes) over the past 7 days. A 5-level response scale for all 6 items ranges from 1 (Not at all) to 5 (Very much). The raw score of PROMIS-CF is the sum of all 6 items, ranging from 6 to 30. The raw score is standardized into a T-score with a mean of 50 and standard deviation of 10. Higher scores indicate a better cognitive function.
