Overview

The purpose of this prospective and multicentric study is to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of lasmiditan as acute migraine treatment in a cohort of episodic or chronic migraine patients.

Description

Lasmiditan is a serotonin 5-HT1F receptor agonist. It is available in three different dosages (namely 50, 100 and 200 mg) with oral administration. Phase 3 double-blind randomized controlled studies demonstrated its effectiveness 2h post-dose in a single migraine attack and consistent effectiveness across four different attacks.

The lack of vasoconstrictive activity allow its use also in patients with cardiovascular medical history. This finding was also confirmed in a real-world study. As it is a small molecule with access to the central nervous system predominant adverse events are CNS-related (as dizziness, somnolence and paraesthesia).

In this prospective multicentric study the Investigators aim to evaluate lasmiditan effectiveness and tolerability as acute migraine treatment in a real-world setting. Subjects who meet the inclusion criteria will be enrolled and will participate in the study. Baseline demographic and clinical data will be collected at the baseline. Patients will be asked to treat their next migraine attack with lasmiditan 50 - 100 - 200 mg oral tablet.

Data will be collected at baseline, during at least 4 migraine attacks treated with lasmiditan and at 3 months follow-up.

Subjects will be asked to complete assessment of their migraine attack at baseline and at 30

  • 60 - 90 and 120 minutes after administration of the acute treatment for at least four migraine attacks. A final timepoint at 24 hours post-dose will be assessed only for the first attack.

Data collection will focus on: i) demographic data, ii) migraine history, iii) pain level and evolution, iv) presence and evolution of migraine associated symptoms, most bothersome symptom and aura, v) migraine associated disability, vi) patients's global impression of change (PGIC) and evaluation on the acute treatment (Migraine-ACT), vii) tolerability and eventual treatment-emergent adverse events. The online database REDCap will be used for data collection.

FAQs

Learn more about clinical trials

What is a clinical trial?

A clinical trial is a study designed to test specific interventions or treatments' effectiveness and safety, paving the way for new, innovative healthcare solutions.

Why should I take part in a clinical trial?

Participating in a clinical trial provides early access to potentially effective treatments and directly contributes to the healthcare advancements that benefit us all.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.

How safe are clinical trials?

Clinical trials follow strict ethical guidelines and protocols to safeguard participants' health. They are closely monitored and safety reviewed regularly.
