Brief summary

A study to assess the safety, tolerability, and single dose pharmacokinetics of a marketed drug in pediatric subjects with migraines. After completion of a portion of the study (Panels A and B), a regulatory agency issued an amended request that the 12-17 year old age group studied should include a similar number of male and female subjects. Therefore, the study was amended to add an additional panel of subjects (Panel C) to ensure gender balance specifically in this age group.

Interventions

DRUGrizatriptan benzoate (5 mg)

A single dose of rizatriptan 5 mg administered on Day 1.

DRUGrizatriptan benzoate (10 mg)

A single dose of rizatriptan 10 mg administered on Day 1.

DRUGRizatriptan 5 mg Placebo

A single dose of rizatriptan 5 mg placebo administered on Day 1.

DRUGRizatriptan 10 mg Placebo

A single dose of rizatriptan 10 mg placebo administered on Day 1.

Inclusion criteria

* Panel A and B: Male and female subjects (non-smokers) ages 6 to 17 with a history of migraines * Panel C: Male subjects (non-smokers) ages 12 to 17 with a history of migraines * Subject has a history of migraine headaches, and is not experiencing a migraine on the day of study drug administration

Exclusion criteria

* Subject has no history of migraine headaches * Taking medications that are monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOI) and selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) * Subject has a condition which, in the opinion of the investigator, may interfere with optimal participation in the study

Safety and Tolerability of Single Doses of Rizatriptan in Pediatric Migraineurs

All adverse experiences spontaneously reported by subject and/or observed by investigator and repeated clinical evaluation of physical examinations, vital signs, 12-lead ECG (electrocardiogram) and laboratory safety tests (hematology/blood chemistry/urinalysis)

Time frame: 24 Hours

Population: All Subjects as Treated- All subjects who received at least one dose of the investigational drug was used for assessments of safety and tolerability.
