6 Why Children and Adolescents are impacted by migraine There are significant gaps Who Cincinnati Children s, Univ of Iowa, NIH NINDS and NICHD, all of our sites. How What Where Childhood and Adolescent Migraine Prevention Study A 40-site Randomized Clinical Trial U01 NS ( ) CHAMP Study Goals Outcome for Aims 1-3 reduction in migraine frequency and disability Aim 1: Determine if amitriptyline (AMI) is superior to placebo Aim 2: Determine if topiramate (TPM) is superior to placebo Aim 3: Determine superiority for AMI vs TPM Aim 4: To prospectively and systematically determine the safety and tolerability profiles of AMI, TPM and placebo 6

7 Study Design Real World Approach Subjects to reflect patients seen in typical headache, neurological and pediatric practice Subjects are children and adolescents, ages 8 to 17 years old Consistent headache frequency that indicates need for prophylaxis (>4 headaches per month) Standardized dosing of most commonly used preventative medication AMI 1 mg/kg/day TPM 2 mg/kg/day 19 Study Design Primary and Secondary Outcomes Greater than 50% reduction in migraine frequency Absolute reduction in monthly migraine frequency Reduction in migraine disability Tolerability of drug therapies 20 Inclusion Criteria 1. Diagnosis: Migraine with or without aura (International Classification of Headache Disorders, 2nd Edition (ICHD-II) or chronic migraine (ICHD-II revised.) 2. Frequency: Migraine frequency based upon prospective headache diary of 28 days must be 4. Migraine frequency defined as any migraine during one day in the 28 day baseline period* * Migraine frequency is defined as the period from the onset to the stop time of painful migraine symptoms not to exceed 24 hours with the clock starting at midnight. If painful symptoms last longer than 24 hours, this is considered a new and distinct migraine headache. If painful symptoms recur within 24 hours of initial onset, this is considered part of the initial migraine episode and would be counted as one migraine. 3. PedMIDAS: PedMIDAS Disability Score > 10, indicating at least mild disruption in daily activities and < 140, indicating extreme disability that may require more comprehensive, multi-component therapy 4. Age: Females or males 8-17 years, inclusive 21 7

8 Exclusion Criteria (1) 1. Continuousmigraine definedas an unrelentingheadache for a 28 day period 2. Weight lessthan 30kg or greaterthan 120 kg 3. Unwilling to avoid taking non-specific acute medicationsuch as NSAIDS (e.g., ibuprofen), more than 3 times per week, or migraine specific acute medicationssuch as triptansmore than 6 timespermonth 4. Currently taking other prophylactic anti-migraine medication within a period equivalent to 2 weeks of that medication before entering the screening phase, or the use of Botulinum toxin (Botox ) within 3 months of enteringthe screeningphase 5. Subjects who have previously failed an adequate trial of AMI or TPM for prophylaxis of at least 3 months durationat dosesrecommendedfor migraine reliefbecause of lack of efficacy or adverseevents* 6. Current use of disallowed medications/products: opioids, antipsychotics, antimanics, barbiturates, benzodiazepines,musclerelaxants, sedatives,tramadol, nutraceuticals, SSRIs, or SSNRIs 22 Exclusion Criteria (2) 7.

10 Definitions Headache Frequency Headache Day any headache in 24 hour period midnight to midnight Headache Episode any headache, start to headache free Migraine Day any headache with ICHD Migraine characteristics in 24 hour period Migraine Episode any migraine from start to headache free Primary Outcome A 50% reduction in headache frequency from the 4 week baseline period to the last 4 weeks of this 24-week trial Headache frequency is defined as the number of days with headache for a given 4 week period A 20 percentage point difference from placebo in this reduction effect is considered clinically meaningful by pediatric headache experts 29 Secondary Outcomes Reduction in migraine disability score on PedMIDAS (Time Frame: end of the week baseline period to the last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial) Safety and tolerability of amitriptyline and topiramate (Time Frame: visit 2 until the last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial) Occurrence of treatment-emergent serious adverse events (Time Frame: visit 2 to the last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial) Reduction in absolute migraine frequency (Time Frame: 4 week baseline period to the last 4 weeks of the 24-week trial) 30 10

Children and adolescents with real world migraine get better 50 to 70% with a >50% reduction in headache frequency Mean frequency at end down to almost 1 per week Thus, multidisciplinary care works Biochemical effect of medication is not the reason Is the reason expectation of response? What do we do with the 30-40% that don t get better? 14
