A Multicenter, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Parallel Group Study to Compare the Response to a Single Treatment With Oral MK0974 With Placebo and Comparator in Subjects With Moderate to Severe Acute Migraine With or Without Aura
In Brief
A Phase 3 clinical trial evaluating Telcagepant potassium 150 mg, Telcagepant potassium 300 mg, and 5 other interventions for Migraine. Completed, enrolled 1,380 participants.
Detailed Summary
The purpose of this study is to investigate the efficacy and safety of telcagepant (MK-0974) compared to an approved medication for acute migraine. This study was conducted as a "triple-dummy" design; for each dose of study drug, participants each received 3 forms of study drug (2 capsules of active and/or placebo and 1 tablet of active and/or placebo) and were instructed to take one of each form of study drug at dosing time. The primary hypotheses of this study are that telcagepant is superior to placebo in Pain Freedom at 2 Hours Post-Dose, Pain Relief at 2 Hours Post-Dose, Absence of Photophobia at 2 Hours Post-Dose, Absence of Phonophobia at 2 Hours Post-Dose and Absence of Nausea at 2 Hours Post-Dose.
