Migraine Clinical Trials in Chicago, IL

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of erenumab in migraine prevention in children (6 to <12 years) and adolescents (12 to <18 years) with episodic migraine. The study hypothesis is that in pediatric participants with episodic migraine, the combined erenumab dose group has a greater reduction from baseline to week 9 through week 12 (month 3) in monthly migraine days (MMDs) when compared with placebo in the double-blind treatment phase (DBTP).

The reason for this 12-month, open-label study is to see if the study drug lasmiditan is safe and effective for the intermittent acute treatment of migraine in children aged 6 to 17. The study will last about 12 months and may include up to 7 visits. Read Less

This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of erenumab in migraine prevention in children (6 to <12 years) and adolescents (12 to <18 years) with chronic migraine. The study hypothesis is that in pediatric participants with chronic migraine, the combined erenumab dose group has a greater reduction from baseline to week 9 through week 12 (month 3) in monthly migraine days (MMDs) when compared with placebo in the double-blind treatment phase (DBTP).

Migraine is a common neurological disorder typically characterized by attacks of throbbing, moderate to severe headache, often associated with nausea, vomiting, and sensitivity to light and sound. Migraine is extremely common and disabling in children. The purpose of this study is to evaluate how safe and effective ubrogepant is in the acute treatment of migraine in children and adolescents. Ubrogepant is a drug approved for the acute treatment of migraine in adults. Children and adolescents (aged 6-17 years) with a history of migraine will be enrolled. The study will include 2 cohorts of participants - PK Cohort and Main Study (non-PK cohort). Participants aged 6-11 years in the PK Cohort will receive Dose A or Dose B of Ubrogepant for PK analysis to determine dose selection for the main study. In the main study, after dose selection, children aged 6-11 years will be randomized to receive either low or high dose of Ubrogepant or placebo. There is a 1 in 3 chance that a participant will be assigned to placebo. Adolescents aged 12-17 years will be randomized to receive either low or high dose of Ubrogepant or placebo with a 1 in 3 chance of placebo assignment. For qualifying migraine attacks, participants will receive oral tablets of the double-blind study intervention. There will be an option to take a second dose of double-blind study intervention (identical to initial dose), or rescue medication, 2 to 24 hours after the initial dose, for headache of moderate/severe intensity. Around 1059 participants will be enrolled in the study in approximately 120 sites in the United States. The study duration will be up to 6 months. There may be higher treatment burden for participants in this trial compared to their standard of care. Participants will attend regular visits during the study at a hospital or clinic. The effect of the treatment will be checked by medical assessments, blood tests, checking for side effects and completing questionnaires. Read Less

The purpose of this study is to understand the safety and effectiveness of the study drug, Dysport® when compared with placebo in preventing chronic migraine. A migraine is a headache with severe throbbing pain or a pulsating sensation, usually on one side of the head, and is often accompanied by feeling or being sick and a sensitivity to bright lights and sound. Chronic migraine is defined as having at least 15 days of headache a month with at least 8 of those days being migraine headache days. Migraines are caused by a series of events which cause the brain to get stimulated/activated, which results in the release of chemicals that cause pain. Dysport® is a formulation of Botulinum toxin type A (BoNT-A), a medication that stops the release of these chemical messengers. The study will consist of 3 periods: A 'screening period' of 6 to 12 weeks to assess whether the participant can take part to the study and requires 1 visit. A first Treatment Phase of 24 weeks. On Day 1 and at Week 12 of the first Treatment Phase, participants will receive injections into various muscles across the head, neck, face and shoulders. The injections will contain either a dose "A" or dose "B" of Dysport® or a placebo (an inactive substance or treatment that looks the same as, and is given in the same way as, an active drug or intervention/treatment being studied). Participants will make 4 visits to the clinic in person and have 4 remote (online) visits. A second Treatment Phase of 24 weeks (extension phase). At Week 24 and at Week 36, all participants will get Dysport® (dose "A" or dose "B"). There will be 3 in person visits and 4 remote visits. Participants will need to complete an e-diary and questionnaires throughout the study. Participants will undergo blood samplings, urine collections, physical examinations, and clinical evaluations. They may continue some other medications, but the details need to be recorded. The total study duration for a participant will be up to 60 weeks (approx. 14 months). Read Less

This is a prospective open-label randomized study assessing similar endpoints included in the pivotal trial for ubrogepant, which are pain freedom and freedom from the most bothersome symptom at two hours. Patients between 18-75 years old with a one-year history of migraine who experience ≥3 migraine days/month will be screened. This study will include migraine patients treated with or without injectable CGRPmAbs. As was the case in the clinical trials, this will be a single-attack study. Patients will be randomized to treat a single migraine attack with ubrogepant 50mg or 100mg. Patients will record dosing time, most bothersome symptom (nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia - chosen by patient), pain freedom, pain relief, the use of a 2nd dose if required, and adverse reactions. Patients will follow up within 30 days post treatment. Patients will be assessed for adverse events, and the safety data will be compared with the original clinical trial. Read Less

Chronic migraine patients treated with OnabotulinumtoxinA may experience breakthrough headaches, especially toward the end of their 12-week therapy. The addition of a CGRPmAb could help in decreasing or eliminating these episodes, but this combination is considered "experimental" by many payers, which often leads to a denial of coverage. Currently, there is no reference in the literature or data to support the treatment of chronic migraine with OnabotulinumtoxinA and CGRPmAbs (Aimovig, Ajovy, Emgality or Vyepti) combination therapy. This has resulted in many patients and providers having to settle for one or the other. Investigators hopes to provide crucial data and findings to support the addition of CGRPmAb in some chronic migraine patients currently on monotherapy OnabotulinumtoxinA. Read Less
