Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of diclofenac sodium administered subcutaneously at three different doses (25-50-75 mg/1ml) in comparison to placebo in the treatment of an acute migraine attack with headache. ;Secondary Objective: To select the most suitable dose(s) of diclofenac sodium subcutaneous injection in order to implement successive pivotal clinical trials and to evaluate safety and tolerability of diclofenac sodium as a self- administered treatment of an acute migraine attack with headache.;Primary end point(s): Percentage of subjects pain free (pain score = zero) at 2 hours after the study drug injection.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of study.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): Percentage of subjects with the absence of photophobia at 2 hours after the injection using a binary scale (present or absent).; Percentage of subjects with the absence of phonophobia at 2 hours after the injection using a binary scale (present or absent).; Percentage of subjects with absence of nausea at 2 hours after the injection using a binary scale (present or absent).; Percentage of subjects with absence of vomit at 2 hours after the injection using a binary scale (present or absent).; Percentage of subjects with absence of nausea at 12, 24 and 48 hours after the injection.; Percentage of subjects with sustained pain freedom from 2 to 24 hours after the injection.; Percentage of subjects with sustained pain freedom from 2 to 48 hours after the injection; The incidence of relapse, defined as the return of headache of any severity within 48 hours after the injection when the subjects was pain-free at 2 hours after the injection.; Percentage of subjects requiring Rescue Medication within 48 after administration of study medication.; Percentage of subjects able to function normally, at 2 hours, defined as “no impact” of migraine on the daily activities, using a 4-point Likert-like Scale: severe (score=3), moderate (score=2), mild (score=1), none (score=0); Percentage of subjects satisfied or extremely satisfied at 2 hours after initial treatment using a 5-Point Likert-like Scale: totally satisfied (score=4), satisfied (score=3), neither satisfied nor unsatisfied (score=2), unsatisfied (score=1), totally unsatisfied (score=0); Time to pain freedom, evaluated as the speed of onset of therapeutic effect.; Subject’s Global Impression of the study treatment using a 5-Point Likert-like Scale evaluated at the end of the migraine attack: excellent (score=4) ,good (score=3), fair (score=2), poor (score=1), very poor (score=0);Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of study.; End of study.; End of study.; End of study.; End of study.; En
