Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary Objective: To assess the effects of BGG492 vs. placebo during the last 4-weeks treatment by - the mean change in number of migraine attacks compared to Baseline period. - number of days with migraine attacks compared to Baseline period - intensity (on a 0-3 Likert scale) and duration (in hours) of migraine headache compared to Baseline period. - the number of times acute migraine treatment is taken compared to Baseline period. To assess safety and tolerability of BGG492 in patients with non-chronic migraine attacks. To assess the effects of BGG492 on the quality of life using the migraine specific quality of life questionnaire v2.1 (MSQ v2.1). To assess the effects of BGG492 on the migraine-related disability using the migraine disability assessment questionnaire (MIDAS). ;Primary end point(s): Response 12-weeks after treatment initiation, defined as a 50% or greater reduction in attack frequency during the last 4 weeks of treatment compared with the baseline frequency (IHS Trial Guidelines).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 12 weeks of treatment;Main Objective: To assess the efficacy of BGG492 vs. placebo in terms of 50% responder rate (defined by = 50% reduction in attack frequency during the last 4-weeks of the 12-weeks treatment period compared with the 4-weeks Baseline period).

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Change from Baseline 2 to last dose intake in the number of migraine attacks over 4 weeks.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: after 12 weeks of treatment
