Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To assess dose response of 2-hour pain freedeom (PF) post dose across a range of MK-3207 doses and the effectiveness of MK-3207 in the treatment of acute migraine as measured by 2-hour PF post dose. To evaluate the safety and tolerability of various doses of MK-3207 in the treatment of acute migraine.;Secondary Objective: To assess the effectiveness of MK-3207 in the treatment of acute migraine as measured by pain relief at 2 hours post dose.;Primary end point(s): The primary efficacy endpoint is pain freedom at 2 hours postdose, with pain freedom defined in this study as a reduction in migraine headache severity from Grade 3/2 at baseline to Grade 0. Primary safety endpoints include the proportions of patients with the following clinical adverse experiences: (1) drug related, (2) serious, (3) serious and drug related, (4) triptan-associated AE class (chest pain, chest tightness, throat tightness, asthenia, paraesthesia, dysesthesia, or hyperesthesia).
