Conditions

Acute Migraine

Brief summary

This will be a Phase 1, multiple center, open label, single-dose study in otherwise healthy adolescent subjects with a history of acute migraine. Subjects will each receive one Zecuity patch application. Subjects will be admitted 2 hours prior to dosing on Day 1, and will remain in the clinical unit under supervision until the last pharmacokinetic (PK) sample is obtained. Blood will be obtained at prescribed times for PK analysis and safety assessments will be performed, including adverse event monitoring, 12-lead ECG test, patch adhesion evaluations, skin irritation evaluations, and vital signs.

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Safety- Percentage of Participants with Adverse Events30 days
Patch Adherence Evaluation4 hoursAdhesive Scoring Code- 0 (≥ 90% adhered (essentially no lift off of the skin)) through 4 (patch detached (patch completely off the skin))
Skin Irritation Examination10 daysSkin Irritation Examination Scale- 0 (no erythema) through 4 (Intense erythema with edema and blistering/erosion)
Area under the concentration versus time curve from time 0 to the last time point with measurable concentration (Ct) (AUC0-last)1 day
Area under the concentration versus time curve from time 0 to infinity (AUC0-∞); calculated as AUC0-last + Ct/λz2.1 day
Maximum observed drug concentration (Cmax)1 day
Time of maximum drug concentration (Tmax)1 day
The terminal elimination rate constant (λz); calculated using non-linear regression Analysis1 day
Terminal elimination half-life (t1/2); calculated as 0.693/λz21 day
