Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-Controlled, Multiple-Attack Study with an Open-Label Extension to Evaluate the Efficacy, Safety, Tolerability, and the Consistency of Effect of Atogepant for the Acute Treatment of Migraine (ECLIPSE)
EU CTIS ID: 2023-506029-12-00
What this study is testing
The primary objective of the trial is to evaluate the efficacy of a single dose of atogepant compared to placebo for the acute treatment of a single migraine attack. The first migraine attack during the DB treatment period will be used to assess efficacy of a single attack.

Who can take part
You may be able to join if
- Subjects must voluntarily sign and date an informed consent, approved by an IEC/IRB, prior to the initiation of any screening or study-specific procedures.
- History of migraines lasting between 4 to 72 hours when untreated or treated unsuccessfully and migraine episodes separated by at least 48 hours of headache pain freedom.
- History of 2 to 8 migraine attacks per month with moderate to severe headache pain in each of the 3 months prior to Visit 1/Screening per investigator judgment.
- Female subjects who are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and are not planning to become pregnant or donate eggs during the study and for approximately 30 days after the last dose of study drug.
- Female subjects (or individuals) of childbearing potential must have a negative serum pregnancy test at Visit 1/Screening and a negative urine pregnancy test at Visit 2/Randomization. Subjects with a borderline serum pregnancy test at Visit 1/Screening must have absence of clinical suspicion of pregnancy or other pathological causes of borderline results and a serum pregnancy test ≥3 days later to document continued lack of a positive result (unless prohibited by local requirements). Subjects with a urine pregnancy test at Visit 2/Randomization that is borderline or ambiguous must have a serum pregnancy test. In such cases, the subjects must be excluded from participation if the serum pregnancy result is positive.
- Female subjects (or individuals) of childbearing potential must practice at least 1 protocol-specified method of birth control, from 30 days prior to Visit 2/Randomization until 30 days after the last dose of study drug. Female subjects of nonchildbearing potential do not need to use birth control.
You likely can't join if
- Subject has difficulty in distinguishing migraine headache from tension-type or other headaches per the investigator's judgment.
- Positive result on the urine drug screen at Visit 1/Screening unless explained by allowed concomitant medication use (e.g., opioids prescribed for migraine pain, use of benzodiazepines for insomnia).
- Positive result on the hepatitis B surface antigen or the anti-hepatitis C antibody testing at Visit 1/Screening.
- Presence of other confounding pain syndromes, confounding psychiatric conditions, dementia, epilepsy and other significant neurological disorders other than migraine per investigator judgment.
- Presence of chronic, nonheadache pain condition requiring daily pain medication.
- Clinically significant cardiovascular, cerebrovascular, hematologic, endocrine, pulmonary, renal, hepatic, gastrointestinal, psychiatric, or neurologic disease. -If there is a history of such disease but the condition has been stable for more than 6 months prior to Visit 1/Screening and is judged by the investigator as not likely to interfere with the subject's participation in the study, the subject may be included. -Subjects on dialysis for renal failure are not allowed to participate in the study.
