A Study of the Efficacy & Safety of Two Doses of Topiramate Compared to

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of two doses of topiramate (100 and 200 mg daily) versus placebo and propranolol in the prevention of migraine. The study will also assess dose response relationship of topiramate, estimate the relative efficacy of topiramate versus propranolol in prevention of migraine, and evaluate the effect of migraine prevention with topiramate versus placebo on Health Related Quality of Life.

Clinical Trial Description

This is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group, multicenter study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of two doses of topiramate versus placebo and propranolol in the prevention of migraine headaches. The study consists of 4 phases: Baseline Phase (evaluation of eligibility criteria and tapering of any migraine prophylaxis medications patients are taking), Core Double-Blind Phase (patients are randomized to receive either 100 milligrams[mg]/day topiramate, 200mg/day topiramate, 160mg/day propranolol or placebo for a total of 26 weeks), Blinded Extension Phase (patients continue the same dose of medication until the sponsor terminates the study or a patient withdraws from the study), and Taper/Exit Phase (medication of patients exiting from the study is tapered over 7 weeks). The primary hypothesis is that one or two topiramate doses (100, 200 mg/day) will be superior to placebo in the prophylaxis of migraine based on the change in the monthly (28 days) migraine period rate from the prospective Baseline Phase to the Core Double-Blind Phase. Oral medication (100 milligrams[mg]/day topiramate, 200mg/day topiramate, 160mg/day propranolol, or placebo) during the 26-weeks Core Double-Blind Phase. Doses may be continued until the termination of the study or withdrawal by the patients during the Blinded Extension Phase. ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
