Go through the criteria one by one — yes, no or not sure — and take the list to your doctor or the study team. Kept in this browser only.

Inclusion criteria

  1. Age 18-60 years, male or female.
  2. Diagnosis of vestibular migraine according to the Bárány Society criteria.
  3. ≥4 episodes of characteristic vestibular symptoms in the past year, each of moderate to severe intensity and lasting >2 hours (without intervention).
  4. Signed obtained from the participant.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. Presence of other disorders causing acute vestibular symptoms (e.g., Ménière's disease, otitis media).
  2. Coexisting non-vertiginous dizziness (e.g., dizziness due to panic disorder), unless the patient can clearly distinguish these episodes from vestibular-migraine attacks.
  3. Severe hepatic dysfunction ( and/or AST >3× ) or renal impairment ( \<30 mL/min).
  4. Severe cardiovascular or cerebrovascular disease.
  5. Alcohol abuse or substance abuse.
  6. Known pregnancy or lactation, or a positive pregnancy test prior to randomization.
  7. or to any medications used in the study.
  8. Initiation or dose adjustment of any preventive migraine therapy within 3 months prior to study drug administration.
  9. Use of any other anti-vertigo or analgesic medication within 6 hours before study drug administration.
  10. Participation in another interventional clinical study that could affect outcome assessment.
  11. Any other condition that, in the investigator's judgment, makes the participant unsuitable for the study or poses significant risk.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(6)

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.

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.

ALT and AST (liver enzymes)

Two enzymes measured in a routine blood test of the liver. Higher levels can mean the liver is under strain or damaged. SGPT and SGOT are older names for ALT and AST.

Criteria usually give a limit as a multiple of the upper limit of normal (ULN), often higher when cancer has spread to the liver.

ULN (upper limit of normal)

The top of the normal range for a blood test, as set by the laboratory that runs it. Each lab prints its own range next to your result.

“≤ 2.5 × ULN” means the result can be up to two and a half times that top value.

Creatinine clearance (CrCl)

How quickly the kidneys clear creatinine, a waste product, from the blood. A study may estimate it from a blood test with age, weight and sex (often by the Cockcroft–Gault formula), or measure it using blood and urine collected over a set time. Given in mL/min; higher is better.

Contraindication

A reason a treatment, test or procedure should not be given to a particular person, such as an allergy, another illness or a medicine they take.

Hypersensitivity

An allergy, or another reaction of the immune system, to a substance. “Hypersensitivity to the study drug” means a known allergic reaction to it — not every side effect a medicine can have.

Individual participant data

Plan to share: Yes — De-identified individual participant data will be shared, including demographic characteristics (e.g., age and sex), baseline clinical characteristics, migraine-related efficacy outcomes (e.g., migraine frequency, pain freedom, and symptom relief), and safety data (e.g., adverse events and laboratory results). The final analyzable dataset used for statistical analyses will also be provided.

Supporting information: Study protocol

Time frame: 6 months after publication of the primary results 5 years after publication of the primary results

Access criteria: Qualified researchers with a scientifically sound research proposal will be eligible to access the data. Available data will include de-identified individual participant data (IPD), the final analyzable dataset, and supporting documents such as the study protocol and statistical analysis plan. Access will be granted upon reasonable request and subject to review and approval by the study investigators. Data will be shared under a data use agreement to ensure the protection of participant confidentiality and compliance with applicable regulations. Requests should be submitted to the corresponding investigator via institutional email.

Timeline

1 registry update since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Dec 2025 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Nov 2027, 23 months after the start.

Of 49 non-industry phase 4 interventional studies under Migraine Disorders, half reached primary completion within 29 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 18 and three quarters within 51. This study's planned 23 months is below that.

Counting every sponsor, half of 77 studies reached it within 27 months; a quarter within 17 and three quarters within 37.

How these figures are worked out, and which studies are left out of them.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
