DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Migraine affects more than 6 million children and adolescents in the United States and the majority continue to experience migraines into adulthood. The annual economic impact of migraine in the U.S. is $36 billion (direct medical costs + lost productivity). Over 130,000 school days are missed every two weeks due to migraine. Yet, no prevention medication is FDA-approved for childhood migraine and pediatric clinical practice guidelines are consensus-based, not evidence-based. The central problem is the lack of placebo-controlled clinical trials and comparative effectiveness studies of prophylactic medication therapy. To address this problem, we propose the 'Amitriptyline and Topiramate in the Prevention of Childhood Migraine' Trial. This pivotal pediatric project will address three critical questions in one clinical trial. Collectively, the results will transform the knowledge base available to clinicians and provide vital evidence needed to change and optimize practice. Because amitriptyline (AMI) and topiramate (TPM) are commonly used by pediatric headache specialists, but currently lack the empirical data to be recommended as Class I evidence in the American Academy of Neurology practice parameters, the first two questions address the efficacy, tolerability, and safety of the two medications relative to placebo. The third question asks, for the first time with children, how these two medications compare to each other in terms of efficacy, tolerability, and safety. Our goal is to determine the first choice prevention medication therapy for pediatric migraine using a decision algorithm developed specifically for this project. We will conduct a 3-arm, randomized, double-blind, parallel group, placebo-controlled trial testing AMI and TPM with 675 children and adolescents between age 8 and 17 with migraine recruited from up to 40 sites across the United States. Participants will be randomized in a 2:2:1 fashion (AMI [N=270]; TPM [N=270]; Placebo [N=135]) and will receive prevention medication therapy or placebo for 24 weeks. The primary endpoint will be a > 50% reduction in migraine frequency from baseline (measured by daily pain diary) during the final 4 weeks of this 24-week clinical trial. Key secondary endpoints will be migraine-related disability, tolerability, and safety. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: This phase III trial will cost about $3 for every child in the United States who suffers from migraine. The results will be directly translated into clinical care decisions worldwide by practitioners who treat children with migraines (including pediatricians, family practitioners, neurologists, and headache medicine specialists). The project is of high priority for the fields of neurology and headache medicine, and most importantly, for the millions of children who need evidence-based options available to prevent this painful illness.

描述（由申请人提供）：偏头痛影响美国超过600万儿童和青少年，大多数人继续经历偏头痛到成年。在美国，偏头痛的年度经济影响为360亿美元（直接医疗成本+生产力损失）。每两周就有超过13万个上学日因偏头痛而缺课。然而，没有预防药物是FDA批准的儿童偏头痛和儿科临床实践指南是基于共识，而不是基于证据。核心问题是缺乏安慰剂对照的临床试验和预防性药物治疗的比较有效性研究。 为了解决这个问题，我们提出了“阿米替林和托吡酯预防儿童偏头痛”试验。这个关键的儿科项目将在一项临床试验中解决三个关键问题。 总的来说，这些结果将改变临床医生可用的知识库，并提供改变和优化实践所需的重要证据。由于阿米替林（AMI）和托吡酯（TPM）是儿科头痛专家常用的药物，但目前缺乏美国神经病学学会实践参数中推荐的I类证据的经验数据，前两个问题涉及两种药物相对于安慰剂的疗效，耐受性和安全性。第三个问题是，第一次在儿童中，这两种药物在疗效，耐受性和安全性方面如何相互比较。我们的目标是使用专门为此项目开发的决策算法来确定儿童偏头痛的首选预防药物治疗。我们将进行一项3臂、随机、双盲、平行组、安慰剂对照试验，在美国40个地点招募的675名8 - 17岁儿童和青少年偏头痛患者中测试AMI和TPM。受试者将以2：2：1的方式随机分配（AMI [N=270]; TPM [N=270];安慰剂[N=135]），并将接受预防药物治疗或安慰剂治疗24周。主要终点将是在该24周临床试验的最后4周期间偏头痛频率从基线（通过每日疼痛日记测量）降低> 50%。 关键次要终点将是偏头痛相关残疾、耐受性和安全性。 公共卫生相关性：这项III期试验将花费约3美元，为每一个患有偏头痛的儿童在美国。研究结果将直接转化为全球治疗偏头痛儿童的医生（包括儿科医生，家庭医生，神经学家和头痛医学专家）的临床护理决策。 该项目是神经病学和头痛医学领域的高度优先事项，最重要的是，对于数百万需要循证选择来预防这种痛苦疾病的儿童来说。
