Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Ubrogepant for the treatment of migraine attacks during the prodrome: a phase 3, multicentre, randomised, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial in the USA.
Ubrogepant is a calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonist that is approved for acute treatment of migraine. The prodrome is the earliest phase of a migraine attack and is characterised by non-aura symptoms that precede headache onset. The aim of this trial was to evaluate the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of ubrogepant 100 mg compared with placebo for the acute treatment of migraine when administered during the prodrome. ⋯ AbbVie.

Multicenter Study
Treatment of severe symptomatic aortic valve stenosis using non-invasive ultrasound therapy: a cohort study.
Calcific aortic stenosis is commonly treated using surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement; however, many patients are not considered suitable candidates for these interventions due to severe comorbidities and limited life expectancy. As such, non-invasive therapies might offer alternative therapeutic possibilities in these patients. This study aimed to assess the safety of non-invasive ultrasound therapy and its ability to improve valvular function by softening calcified valve tissue. ⋯ Cardiawave.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Impact of discontinuing oxytocin in active labour on neonatal morbidity: an open-label, multicentre, randomised trial.
Oxytocin is effective in reducing labour duration but can be associated with fetal and maternal complications that could potentially be reduced by discontinuing the treatment during labour. We aimed to assess the impact of discontinuing oxytocin during active labour on neonatal morbidity. ⋯ French Ministry of Health and the Département de la Recherche Clinique et du Développement de l'Assistance Publique-Hôpitaux de Paris.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Primaquine radical cure in patients with Plasmodium falciparum malaria in areas co-endemic for P falciparum and Plasmodium vivax (PRIMA): a multicentre, open-label, superiority randomised controlled trial.
In areas co-endemic for Plasmodium vivax and Plasmodium falciparum there is an increased risk of P vivax parasitaemia following P falciparum malaria. Radical cure is currently only recommended for patients presenting with P vivax malaria. Expanding the indication for radical cure to patients presenting with P falciparum malaria could reduce their risk of subsequent P vivax parasitaemia. ⋯ Australian Academy of Science Regional Collaborations Program, Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and National Health and Medical Research Council.
