| Main Objective: The objective of this study are to evaluate the efficacy of 2 dosages of topiramate, 50 and 100 mg/day, compared with placebo in the prevention of migraine attacks in subjects 12 to 17 years of age, as assessed by the percent reduction in the frequency of monthly migraine attacks over the last 12 weeks of the double-blind phase compared with baseline ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the safety of 2 dosages of topiramate, 50 and 100 mg/day, in subjects 12 to 17 years of age with migraine To document exposure to topiramate by estimating the trough plasma topiramate concentrations To explore the effect of 2 dosages of topiramate, 50 and 100 mg/day, on the physical, emotional, social, home, and school functioning of subjects 12 to 17 years of age with migraine. ;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy end point (i.e., percent reduction in frequency of monthly [28 day] migraine attack, using the 48-hour rule, from the prospective baseline period to the last 12 weeks of the double-blind phase) will be analyzed using an ANCOVA model and the last-observation-carried-forward (LOCF) method. | — |
