Recruitment Details
Key information relevant to the recruitment process for the overall study, such as dates of the recruitment period and locations
Results for the TRX109011 (NCT00573170) and TRX109013 (NCT00599157) studies were pooled for analysis. Individual studies were not analyzed or reported separately. The individual protocols were amended while ongoing to allow for pooling of study data for analysis.

Pre-Assignment Details
Significant events and approaches for the overall study following participant enrollment, but prior to group assignment
Randomized participants were treated for three separate migraine attacks with three different investigational products, assigned in randomized order, as one of six possible treatment sequences. Not all participants enrolled in the study were randomized for treatment; those participants who were randomized are said to have "started" the study

Reporting Groups
  Description
Treximet, Placebo, Butalbital-containing Combo. Medication Fixed dose combination (combo.) tablet of sumatriptan succinate (equivalent to sumatriptan 85 milligrams [mg]) and naproxen sodium 500 mg (Treximet) for treatment of first migraine attack, followed by a 7-day washout period; matching placebo for treatment of second migraine attack, followed by a 7-day washout period; comparator of acetaminophen 325 mg, caffeine 40 mg, and butalbital 50 mg (butalbital-containing combination medication), currently marketed as Fioricet, for treatment of third migraine attack. Treatment of each separate migraine attack had to be preceeded by a 24-hour pain-free period to ensure that a separate migraine attack was being treated.

Certain Agreements:  
Principal Investigators are NOT employed by the organization sponsoring the study.
There IS an agreement between Principal Investigators and the Sponsor (or its agents) that restricts the PI's rights to discuss or publish trial results after the trial is completed.
The agreement is:
unchecked The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is less than or equal to 60 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.
unchecked The only disclosure restriction on the PI is that the sponsor can review results communications prior to public release and can embargo communications regarding trial results for a period that is more than 60 days but less than or equal to 180 days. The sponsor cannot require changes to the communication and cannot extend the embargo.


Limitations and Caveats
Limitations of the study, such as early termination leading to small numbers of participants analyzed and technical problems with measurement leading to unreliable or uninterpretable data
Enrolled participants included all those entering the screening part of the study. Randomized participants included only those who completed screening and completed the 2-week butalbital wash-out, and were successfully randomized to study drug.
