Clinical Trial Summary

In this study,288 adult migraine patients aged 18-65 years (diagnosed with migraine without aura and/or migraine with aura, with at least a 1-year history)will be collected to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Anisodine Hydrobromide in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults.

Description:

1. Research contents:

In this study,288 adult migraine patients aged 18-65 years (diagnosed with migraine without aura and/or migraine with aura, with at least a 1-year history)will be collected to evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of Anisodine Hydrobromide in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults.

2. Research target:

To evaluate the efficacy, safety and tolerability of oral Anisodine Hydrobromide in preventing migraine attacks in episodic migraine in adults, we used the change from baseline in migraine days per 4 weeks during the 12-week treatment period as the primary endpoint.

3. Research design:

This study uses a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel design and plans to enroll 288 adult patients with episodic migraine.

A total of 288 patients were planned to be enrolled, and all subjects were randomly assigned to group A (Anisodine Hydrobromide 1 mg bid) and group B (placebo 1 mg bid) according to a 1:1 ratio, with 144 subjects in each group.Both anisodine hydrobromide and placebo were produced and supplied by Chengdu First Pharmaceutical Limited Company.

The enrolled subjects were orally administered Anisodine Hydrobromide 1 mg bid or placebo 1 mg bid for 12 consecutive weeks of treatment, and followed up for 4 weeks. That means doing face-to-face visits at the 4th, 8th, 12th and 16th weeks after dosing ,while affected by the epidemic or other special circumstances, video or telephone follow-up can be used.

This study is divided into 3 phases: screening/baseline period (4 weeks, D-28~D-1), double-blind treatment period (12 weeks, D1~D84), follow-up period (4 weeks, D85-D112), a total of About 20 weeks.

4. In order to ensure the quality of the trial, the sponsor and the researcher shall discuss and formulate the clinical research plan before the trial officially begins. Good Clinical Practice(GCP) training was given to the relevant researchers who participated in the experiment. The research center must manage experimental drugs in accordance with (SOP), including receipt, storage, distribution and recycling. In accordance with the GCP guidelines, necessary steps should be taken during the design and implementation phase of the study to ensure that the data collected are accurate, consistent, complete and credible. All observed results and abnormal findings in clinical trials should be verified and recorded in time to ensure the reliability of the data. The instruments, equipment, reagents and standards used in various examination items in clinical trials should have strict quality standards and ensure that they work under normal conditions. The researcher inputs the information required by the program into the eCRF, and the inspector verifies whether the filling is complete and accurate, and instructs the staff of the research center to make necessary corrections and supplements. The drug regulatory department, the institutional review committee (IRB)/ independent ethics committee (IEC), sponsor inspectors and / or inspectors may conduct systematic inspections of clinical trial-related activities and documents to evaluate whether trials are conducted in accordance with the requirements of the study program, SOP and relevant regulations (e.g. GCP, GMP), and whether trial data are recorded in a timely, true, accurate and complete manner. The inspection should be carried out by personnel who are not directly involved in the clinical trial.

5. Statistical analysis plan： Efficacy evaluation: The primary endpoint was analyzed by Mixed Model for Repeated Measures(MMRM).And the primary endpoint analysis was based on the analysis results of Full Analysis Set(FAS) and Per Protocol Set(PPS).

The mMIDAS also conducts assessments of disability in family, social, and leisure activities. The mMIDAS score is the sum of the scores of the 5 items. The score is multiplied by 3 for grading and is divided into 4 severe levels: I = 0-5 (slight disability); II = 6-10 (mild disability). Disability); Grade III = Grade 11-20 (moderate disability); Grade IV = above Grade 21 (severe disability).	12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
Secondary	The Change of Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) Score	The change of HIT-6 score per 4 weeks during the 12-week treatment period compared with baseline.; The HIT-6 is a 6-question 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 participant'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).	12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)

It is divided into 3 domains: Role Function Restrictive assesses how migraines limit one's daily social and work-related activities; Role Function Preventive assesses how migraines prevent these activities; and the Emotional Function domain assesses the emotions associated with migraines. 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.	12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
Secondary	The Change of The Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Score	The change of PGIC score per 4 weeks during the 12-week treatment period compared with baseline.; The PGIC is a single item questionnaire used to measure the participant's impression of overall change in migraine since the first dose of study medication.

Secondary	The Change of Patient Health Questionnaire-9(PHQ-9) Score	The change of PHQ-9 score per 4 weeks during the 12-week treatment period compared with baseline. PHQ-9 consists of 9 diagnostic criteria in The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders(DSM)-IV involving depression within the last 2 weeks. Subjects were asked to indicate the frequency of 9 depressive symptoms in the last 2 weeks on a 4-point scale: 0 (none at all), 1 (a few days), 2 (more than half), and 3 (almost every day).The total score of PHQ-9 is between 0 and 27(from the best to the worst). 10-14 points may indicate moderate depression, and 15-19 points may indicate moderately severe depression; 20 to 27 points may have severe depression.	12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
Secondary	The Change of Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD-7) Score	The change of GAD-7 score per 4 weeks during the 12-week treatment period compared with baseline.; GAD-7 is a proven, self-administered and concise tool for screening and diagnosing mental health disorders, which has been tested in the field in office practice. The screening scale is easy to use and can be completed in a short time, which improves the recognition rate of anxiety disorders and facilitates diagnosis and treatment. The main statistical index of this scale is the total score, that is, the sum of item scores. The total score range of GAD-7 is 0: 21 and that of GAD-2 is 0: 6. The score of GAD-7 can be used to evaluate the severity of anxiety symptoms: 0: 4: no clinical significance: anxiety: 5: 9: mild; 10: 14: moderate; > 15: severe.

It consists of 2 components - the EQ-5D descriptive system and the EQ VAS. The descriptive system comprises of 5 dimensions (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and anxiety/depression). The EQ VAS records the respondent's self-rated health on a vertical, VAS where the endpoints are labelled "Best imaginable health state" and "Worst imaginable health state." The scoring range of the EQ VAS is from 0 (worst imaginable health) to 100 (best imaginable health).	12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
Secondary	The Change of Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (C-SSRS) Score	The change of C-SSRS score during the 12-week treatment period compared with screening period.; The C-SSRS was designed to distinguish the domains of suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior,and the higher scores mean a worse outcome. Four constructs are measured:the severity of ideation(rated on a 5-point ordinal scale,and the higher scores mean more planned suicidal intent),the intensity of ideation subscale(comprises 5 items, each rated on a 5-point ordinal scale), the behavior subscale(rated on a nominal scale), the lethality subscale(assesses actual attempts; actual lethality is rated on a 6-point ordinal scale, and if actual lethality is zero, potential lethality of attempts is rated on a 3-point ordinal scale).; Reports of suicidal ideation with intent to act and reports of actual, aborted, or interrupted suicide attempts or a behavior preparatory for making an attempt indicate subjects at high risk for suicide.	12-week treatment period(Day 1-Day 84)
