Study of BOTOX Injections in Prevention of Migraine in Adult Participants With Episodic Migraine

Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Episodic Migraine
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05028569
Lead Sponsor
AbbVie
Brief Summary

Migraine is a neurological disease characterized by moderate or severe headache, associated with nausea, vomiting, and/or sensitivity to light and sound (ICHD 2018). Migraine can be further categorized according to the frequency of attacks as episodic migraine (EM) or chronic migraine (CM). This study will assess the effects of BOTOX in preventing migraine in adult participants with EM.

BOTOX is being developed for the prevention of migraine in adults with episodic migraine (EM). Participants will be enrolled in 3 different treatment groups. There is 1 in 3 chance that participants will be assigned to receive placebo. Approximately 777 adult participants with EM will be enrolled in approximately 125 sites across the world.

Participants will receive intramuscular injections (injected into the muscle) of BOTOX or Placebo on Week 0 and Week 12. Eligible participants will receive BOTOX on Week 24 and Week 36.

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.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in the Frequency of Monthly Migraine Days6 Months

Change from baseline in the frequency of monthly migraine days (i.e., migraine or probable migraine headache days) will be assessed.

Number of Participants with Treatment Emergent Adverse Events (AEs)Up to approximately 52 weeks

An AE is defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a patient or clinical investigation in which a participant is administered a pharmaceutical product which does not necessarily have a causal relationship with this treatment.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Change From Baseline in Migraine-Specific Quality of Life Questionnaire version 2.1 (MSQ v2.1) Role Function - Restrictive (RFR) Domain Score6 Months

Role Function Restrictive (RFR) domain assesses how migraines limit one's daily social and work-related activities using a 6-point scale ranging from "none of the time" to "all of the time".

Change From Baseline in the Activity Impairment in Migraine - Diary (AIM-D) Physical Impairment Domain Score6 Months

AIM-D Physical impairment Domain Score asks participants to rate the level of difficulty experienced with physical impairment using a 6-point rating scale ranging from "not difficult at all" to "I could not do it at all".

Change From Baseline in the Frequency of Monthly Headache Days6 Months

Change from baseline in the frequency of monthly headache days will be assessed.

Responder Status of 50% Reduction From Baseline in the Frequency of Monthly Migraine Days6 Months

Percentage of participants achieving 50% reduction from baseline in the frequency of monthly migraine days will be assessed.

Change From Baseline in the Frequency of Monthly Acute Headache Medication Days6 Months

The change from baseline in acute migraine medication use days will be assessed.
