NCT00369499 | Terminated

• 1 other identifier: CV05003PC
• Study Type: interventional
• Target: 656
• Locations: 1 country
• Sites: 1

Brief Summary

The primary objective of this Study is to compare the effect of transcatheter device closure of atrial shunting to a non-closure control group over a period from cessation of procedure related medication at 3 months until 9 months post randomization by determining the proportion of patients that experience a 50% or more reduction in the baseline monthly migraine attack frequency in each group.

Conditions

Migraine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Mean values of the number of monthly migraine periods, with or without aura.

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Mean values of monthly migraine frequency with or without aura.

• Quality of life using a Headache Impact Test Questionnaire.

Interventions

PFO Closure DEVICE

• Aged 18 - 50 years and of legal age in the host country.
• The patient or legal guardian has signed a study specific informed consent form agreeing to data collection and follow-up requirements.
• The patient agrees to abstain from starting prophylactic migraine medication or agrees to maintain existing prophylactic migraine medication without changing dose or drug from entering the baseline period throughout the duration of the study until final assessments.
• Documented right to left shunt that is suitable for device closure.

You may not qualify if:

• Taking migraine preventative medication for conditions other than migraine.
• History of 15 or more headache days per month.

• Uncontrolled bacteremias or dental or surgical procedure within past 30 days or planned within study period.
• Allergy to contrast media, and/or to any component of the device to be used.
• Contraindicated for any medication used during or after the procedure.
• History of atrial fibrillation or atrial flutter (chronic or paroxysmal).
• Patient is enrolled or intends to participate in another clinical study (of an investigational drug or device, new indication for an approved drug or device, or requirement of additional testing beyond standard clinical practice) during the study or within four weeks prior to his/her enrollment in the study.
• Patient is undergoing dialysis for renal failure.
