Summary

This trial will test if Qudexy XR can prevent migraines in children aged 6 to 11.

Who is the study for?
This trial is for children aged 6 to 11 who weigh between 17.0 kg and less than 50.0 kg, have had migraines for at least six months, and experience more than eight headache days per month. They should not have failed topiramate treatment before or be on certain contraceptives or migraine prevention medications.
What is being tested?
The study tests Qudexy XR's effectiveness in preventing migraines in kids against a placebo (a substance with no therapeutic effect). It's a Phase 4 trial, meaning the drug is already approved but needs further testing in this age group.
What are the potential side effects?
While specific side effects are not listed here, Qudexy XR contains topiramate which can cause tingling sensations, drowsiness, dizziness, taste changes, weight loss and could potentially affect growth rates in children.
