Study summary

Canvert-M (manufactured by Alasht Pharmed Co. Iran) is a topical roll-on formulation that contains cannabidiol, peppermint, lavender, rosemary, eucalyptus, wintergreen, basil oil, etc. This phase IV, single-arm, open-label clinical trial evaluated the efficacy and safety of Canvert-M in males and females aged 18 to 55 years diagnosed with migraine according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-3), for the treatment of migraine attacks.

The primary objective was to assess the reduction in headache intensity using a 4-point scale (0=no headache, 1=mild headache, 2=moderate headache, 3=severe headache).

Secondary objectives included evaluating additional efficacy and safety outcomes of Canvert-M in managing migraine attacks.

Read the detailed description

In this study, participants are asked to:

  • Apply an adequate amount of Canvert-M roll-on to the areas of the forehead, temporal, behind the ears, and base of the neck, at the onset of a migraine attack. (If the participant's headache persists after 30 minutes, a second dose can be used.)
  • Record the date when the headache occurred.
  • Record the severity of the headache at various time points (before using Canvert-M, and then at 30 minutes, 60 minutes, 120 minutes, 4 hours, and 24 hours after using the Canvert-M roll-on) based on the 4-point scale.
  • As much as possible, avoid using any other analgesics for two hours after applying Canvert-M. However, if the headache persists after two hours, the participant may use another medication and should record the name(s) of the drug(s) taken.
  • Record a general evaluation of the effectiveness of the investigational product using a simple Likert-type verbal scale.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Males and females with age of 18 to 55 years
  2. Age of migraine onset ˂ 50 years

  4. Having a history of 2-8 attacks per month
  5. Remaining stable on prophylactic medication (if used) during the 2 months prior to screening and throughout the study period
  6. Using effective by the women of during the study
  7. Ability to provide written, and to be compliant with the schedule of protocol assessments

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria:

  1. Having a diagnosis of other primary (cluster and tension) and secondary headache disorders
  2. Having a history of chronic migraine headache
  3. History of resistant or migraine headaches based on European Headache Federation consensus
  4. Receiving any abortive medication for the treatment of migraine within 48 hours before using Canvert-M

Terms in these criteria, in plain language(5)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

Contraception

Ways of preventing pregnancy. “Highly effective” methods fail less than 1% of the time a year when used correctly — for example an IUD or an implant.

Criteria usually say which methods count and how long to keep using them after the last dose, sometimes for male participants too. Some studies accept a partner’s vasectomy if it was confirmed successful and that person is the participant’s only sexual partner.

Childbearing potential

Able to become pregnant: from the first period until menopause, unless permanently unable to through surgery (removal of the womb, or of both ovaries or both fallopian tubes).

Criteria for people of childbearing potential usually ask for a negative pregnancy test and for contraception during the study and for a time after it.

Informed consent

Before you join, the study team explains what taking part involves — its purpose, what happens, the risks and possible benefits — and answers your questions, so you can decide freely. Consent is usually recorded on a form (the informed consent form, ICF) signed by you or, where the law allows, by someone legally authorised to decide for you.

You can keep asking questions during the study, you are told of new information that matters, and you can choose to leave at any time.

Relapsed and refractory

Relapsed: the illness came back after treatment had worked. Refractory: it did not respond to treatment, or stopped responding while still on it.

Investigational drug or device

A drug or device being studied in a clinical trial.

It may be new, or already approved and being studied for another use, dose or form. Criteria often leave out people who took part in another study of one within a recent period, commonly 30 days or five half-lives.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. The percentage of participants who report improvement in headache pain by at least one severity level (according to the 4-point scale) at 2 hours after treatment, and before the use of any rescue medication.

    4-point scale: 0=no headache, 1=mild headache, 2=moderate headache, 3=severe headache

    Time frame: Pre-treatment and 2 hours after treatment

Secondary outcomes

  1. The percentage of participants who report improvement in headache pain by at least one severity level according to the 4-point scale at 1 hour and 24 hours after treatment compared to pretreatment pain

    4-point scale: 0=no headache, 1=mild headache, 2=moderate headache, 3=severe headache

    Time frame: Pre-treatment, 1 hour and 24 hours after treatment

  2. The percentage of subjects who need rescue medication 2 hours after treatment

    Time frame: 2 hours after treatment

  3. The global evaluation of treatment efficacy based on a simple Likert-type verbal scale asked from the participants

    Likert-type verbal scale: Very poor, Poor, No opinion, Good, Very good

    Time frame: 24 hours after treatment

  4. Safety assessment by evaluation of adverse events (AEs)

    Adverse events (AEs) were assessed at all visits. All reported events were classified as mild, moderate, or severe. Moreover, seriousness of AEs was assessed according to International Council for Harmonization (ICH-E2B) guidelines. The causality relation was assessed based on the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

    Time frame: From the screening visit and for up to 30 days
