PREMIUM Migraine Trial

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Migraine Headaches
Patent Foramen Ovale
Registration Number
NCT00355056
Lead Sponsor
Abbott Medical Devices
Brief Summary

The Purpose of this study is to evaluate the impact of percutaneous closure of a patent foramen ovale (PFO) (a hole in the heart), using the AMPLATZER PFO Occluder, on the incidence of migraine headaches.

Detailed Description

The objective of this study is to evaluate whether percutaneous PFO closure is effective in reducing the incidence of disabling migraine headaches in patients who are refactory to medical treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Primary Safety Endpoint - Device Related Serious Adverse Event (SAE)Baseline through 12 months

Number of subjects who experience a device-related major adverse event (DRMAE) through 12-months of follow-up.

This endpoint was analyzed using an as-treated cohort that consists of all enrolled subjects who received the device (randomized and Optional PFO Closure group) and who had follow-up sufficient to adequately assess the DRMAE rate.

Primary Efficacy Endpoint - Percentage of Subjects With a 50% Reduction From Baseline in the Monthly Number of Migraine Attacks at 12 Months.Baseline and months 10-12

A 50% reduction from the monthly number of migraine attacks during the 60-day baseline phase to the monthly number of migraine attacks during month ten through the twelfth month in the treatment phase (device group versus sham group).

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Incidence of Device-related Adverse Events12 months
Change in Mean Migraine Days/MonthBaseline and months 10-12

Change in the number of migraine days is calculated by the difference in the mean number of migraine days between the baseline assessment period and the treatment phase (months 10-12 post-procedure) for the respective randomization groups.

Long-Term Success12 months

Percent of PFO closure group subjects who were implanted with the study device, experienced no serious device or procedure-related adverse events and have a core-lab adjudicated TCD Grade at Valsalva ≤ 2 at 1-year.

Change in Migraine Disability Assessment (MIDAS) Score From Baseline to 12-months12 months

The MIDAS questionnaire measure the impact of headaches on daily living. A total score of 0-5 equals little to no disability, 6-10 equals mild disability, 11-20 equals moderate disability, and a score 21 or greater equals severe disability. The maximum possible score is 276.

Incidence of a 75% Reduction in Migraine Headache Attacks12 months
Procedural Success12 months

Procedural success is calculated by the percent of device group subjects who were implanted with the study device and experienced no serious device or procedure-related adverse events.

Incidence of All Adverse Events at 12-months12 months
Incidence of a 95% Reduction in Migraine Headache Attacks12-months
Percentage of Subjects With Successful PFO Closure at 12-monthsBaseline and month 12

Successful Closure by Core Lab Adjudicated Transcranial Doppler (TCD) Grade \<= 2
