About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Migraine Headaches focused on measuring TREXIMA, MIGRAINE HEADACHES, Subjects may be enrolled if they are 18-65 years of age, have a demonstrated history of migraine headaches

Eligibility Criteria

        • Any intrauterine device (IUD) with published data showing that the lowest expected failure rate is less than 1% per year (not all IUDs meet this criterion); or
        • Any other method with published data showing that the lowest expected failure rate for that method is less than 1% per year.
        • Barrier method only if used in combination with any of the above.

    7. Subject, in the investigator's opinion, is likely to have unrecognized cardiovascular disease, based on history or the presence of risk factors (e.g., hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, smoker, obesity, diabetes, strong family history of coronary artery disease, female with surgical or physiological menopause, or male over 40 years of age).
    8. Subject has evidence or history of ischemic abdominal syndromes, peripheral vascular disease, or Raynaud syndrome.
    9. Subject has uncontrolled hypertension at screening (sitting systolic pressure >160 millimeters of mercury [mmHg], diastolic pressure >95 mmHg).

    11. Subject has a history of basilar or hemiplegic migraine.
    12. Subject has a history of impaired hepatic or renal function that, in the investigator's opinion, contraindicates participation in this study, or the subject has any other abnormal laboratory value of clinical significance for this study.
    13. Subject has a history of non-migraine (i.e., tension type, sinus, etc.) headache frequency greater than or equal to 15 days/month in each of the 3 months prior to screening.
    14. Subject has had >6 migraine attacks/month in either of the 2 months prior to screening.
    15. Subject is currently taking a monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI), has taken an MAOI within the 2 weeks prior to screening, or plans to take an MAOI within 2 weeks after treatment.
    16. Subject is currently taking any anti-coagulant (e.g. warfarin) or NSAID (except doses of aspirin ≤ 325 mg per day, used for cardiovascular prophylaxis) on a regular basis.
    17. Subject is currently taking or has taken in the previous 3 months, a migraine prophylactic medication containing ergotamine, an ergot derivative (dihydroergotamine), or methysergide.
    18. Subject is currently taking or has taken in the previous 4 weeks, herbal preparations containing St. John's Wort (Hypericum perforatum).
    19. Subject has hypersensitivity, intolerance, or contraindication to the use of sumatriptan or naproxen sodium, any of its components, or any other 5-HT1 receptor agonist.
    20. Subject has history of allergic reactions to naproxen preparations, including subjects in whom aspirin or other NSAID drugs induce the syndrome of asthma, rhinitis, and nasal polyps.
    21. Subject is pregnant, actively trying to become pregnant, or breast-feeding.
    22. Subject is of childbearing potential and not using adequate contraceptive measures.
    23. Subject has a recent history (in the past 3 months) suggestive of alcohol or drug abuse or dependence, including overuse (abuse) of ergotamines and/or narcotics to treat migraines. Ergotamine abuse is daily use for 14 consecutive days or intermittent consumption exceeding 10 mg per week for any two weeks.
    24. Subject has participated in an investigational drug trial within the previous four weeks or plans to participate in another study at any time during the period of this stu

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

a) sustained pain relief over 24 hours, b) sustained photophobia-free over 24 hours, c) sustained phonophobia-free over 24 hours, and d) sustained nausea-free over 24 hours.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
To determine the efficacy of the Trexima versus placebo as assessed by pain relief and the incidences of photophobia, phonophobia and nausea at 2 hours after treatment as the primary endpoints.
Detailed Description
The primary objective of this study is to determine the efficacy of the Trexima versus placebo as assessed by pain relief and the incidences of photophobia, phonophobia and nausea at 2 hours after treatment as the primary endpoints. Another objective of this study is to evaluate the efficacy of Trexima when compared to the individual components (sumatriptan and naproxen sodium) using sustained pain-free as the endpoint. It is the intent that this study be sufficiently powered to detect differences that are clinically meaningful and statistically significant in order to meet both objectives.
