Clinical trials

The European Union Clinical Trials Register   allows you to search for protocol and results information on:
  • interventional clinical trials that were approved in the European Union (EU)/European Economic Area (EEA) under the Clinical Trials Directive 2001/20/EC
  • clinical trials conducted outside the EU/EEA that are linked to European paediatric-medicine development

  • EU/EEA interventional clinical trials approved under or transitioned to the Clinical Trial Regulation 536/2014 are publicly accessible through the
    Clinical Trials Information System (CTIS).


    The EU Clinical Trials Register currently displays   44334   clinical trials with a EudraCT protocol, of which   7366   are clinical trials conducted with subjects less than 18 years old.   The register also displays information on   18700   older paediatric trials (in scope of Article 45 of the Paediatric Regulation (EC) No 1901/2006).

    Phase 1 trials conducted solely on adults and that are not part of an agreed paediatric investigation plan (PIP) are not publicly available (see Frequently Asked Questions ).

    General information about the trial
    Main objective of the trial
    • to demonstrate the efficacy 2 dose regimens of TEV-48125, as assessed by the decrease in the monthly average number of migraine days during 12-week period after the 1st dose of study drug relative to the baseline period • to evaluate the safety and tolerability of 2 dose regimens TEV-48125 in the preventive treatment of episodic migraine (EM)
    Protection of trial subjects
    This study was conducted in full accordance with the International Council on Harmonisation (ICH) Good Clinical Practice (GCP) Consolidated Guideline (E6) and any applicable national and local laws and regulations (eg, Code of Federal Regulations Title 21, Parts 50, 54, 56, 312, and 314; European Union Directive 2001/20/EC on the approximation of the laws, regulations, and administrative provisions of the Member States relating to the implementation of GCP in the conduct of clinical trials on medicinal products for human use). Each investigator was responsible for performing the study in accordance with the protocol, ICH guidelines, and GCP, and for collecting, recording, and reporting the data accurately and properly. Agreement of each investigator to conduct and administer this study in accordance with the protocol was documented in separate study agreements with the sponsor and other forms as required by national authorities in the country where the study center is located. Written and/or oral information about the study was provided to all patients in a language understandable by the patients. The information included an adequate explanation of the aims, methods, anticipated benefits, potential hazards, and insurance arrangements in force. Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before any study procedures or assessments were done. It was explained to the patients that they were free to refuse entry into the study and free to withdraw from the study at any time without prejudice to future treatment. Each patient’s willingness to participate in the study was documented in writing in a consent form that was signed by the patient with the date of that signature indicated. Each investigator kept the original consent forms, and copies were given to the patients.

    Change from Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of Migraine Days During the 12-Week Period After the First Dose of Study Drug
    End point description
    A migraine day was defined as when at least 1 of the following situations occurred: - a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache endorsing criteria for migraine with or without aura - a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache endorsing criteria for probable migraine, a migraine subtype where only 1 migraine criterion is missing - a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine-specific medications (triptans and ergot compounds) Monthly averages are derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by the following formula: (# days of efficacy variable over relevant period / # days with assessments recorded in the e-diary over the relevant period) * 28. The change is calculated as postbaseline value – baseline value.

    Participants with Adverse Events [6]
    End point description
    An adverse event was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe= an AE which prevents usual activities. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, OR an important medical event that jeopardized the patient and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes.

    Percentage of Participants With At Least 50% Reduction In Monthly Average Number of Migraine Days During the 12-Week Period After the First Dose of Study Drug
    End point description
    Responder rates were defined as the percentage of total subjects who reached at least a 50% reduction in the monthly average of headache days (as subjectively reported by participants in the study diary) of at least moderate severity relative to the baseline period. For the overall analysis (Month 1-3), patients who discontinued early were considered nonresponders. Monthly averages are derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by the following formula: (# days of efficacy variable over relevant period / # days with assessments recorded in the e-diary over the relevant period) * 28. The percentage reduction in monthly average is calculated as: ((baseline value - postbaseline value) / baseline value) * 100

    Change from Baseline in Migraine-Related Disability Score (MIDAS), As Measured by the Migraine Disability Assessment At 4 Weeks After the Last (3rd) Dose of Study Drug
    End point description
    The MIDAS questionnaire is a 5-item instrument developed to assess headache-related disability based on lost days of activity in 3 domains (work, household work, and nonwork) over the previous 3 months. The total score, ie, the sum of the # lost days answered for the first 5 questions, is used for grading of disability, with scores of 0-5 lost days = grade 1 (little or no disability), 6-10 lost days =grade 2 (mild disability), 11-20 lost days = grade 3 (moderate disability), and ≥21 lost days interpreted as grade 4 (severe disability). Negative change from baseline scores indicate a reduction (improvement) in headache-related disability.

    Electrocardiogram Finding Shifts From Baseline to Overall
    End point description
    12-lead ECGs were performed before other assessments (eg, blood draws and administration of questionnaires) and performed in triplicate. The worst postbaseline finding for the patient is summarized. Only patients with both baseline and postbaseline ECGs are included. The ECG was evaluated by the investigator at the time of recording (signed and dated), and the printout was kept in the source documentation file. When potentially clinically significant findings were detected by the investigator, a cardiologist at a central diagnostic center was consulted for a definitive interpretation. Any ECG finding that was judged by the investigator as a potentially clinically significant change (worsening) compared with a baseline value was considered an adverse event. NCS = abnormal, not clinically significant CS = abnormal, clinically significant Shift format is: baseline finding / worst postbaseline finding

    Participants with Positive Electronic Columbia Suicide Severity Rating Scale Results After the First Dose of Study Drug
    End point description
    The electronic Columbia-Suicide Severity Rating Scale (eC-SSRS) was used to assess the patient’s suicidal ideation (severity and intensity) and behavior (Posner et al 2011). The eC-SSRS Baseline/Screening version was completed by the patient at visit 2, and the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version was completed by the patient at all other time points. Any positive findings on the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version required evaluation by a physician or doctoral-level psychologist. Findings after the first dose of study drug using the eC-SSRS Since Last Visit version are summarized.
