An Efficacy and Safety Study of Fremanezumab in Adults With Migraine

A migraine day was defined as when at least 1 of the following situations occurred: A calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for migraine with or without aura; a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for probable migraine, a migraine subtype where only 1 migraine criterion was missing; a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine-specific medications (triptans and ergot compounds). Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over relevant period/number of days with assessments recorded in e-diary over relevant period)*28.

A headache day of at least moderate severity was defined as a calendar day (00:00 to 23:59) demonstrating at least 4 consecutive hours of headache of at least moderate severity or; a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine-specific acute medications (triptans and ergot compounds). Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by the following formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over relevant period/number of days with assessments recorded in the e-diary over the relevant period) * 28. The change was calculated as post-baseline value - baseline value. LS mean calculated using ANCOVA model with treatment, gender, region, special group of treatment failure (yes/no), migraine classification (EM/CM), and treatment*migraine classification as fixed effects and baseline number of headache days of at least moderate severity and years since onset of migraine as covariates.

Baseline data and the mean change from baseline in the monthly average number of days of use of any acute headache medications during the 12-week period after administration of the first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 12 data) is reported. Least Squares (LS) mean calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with treatment, gender, region, special group of treatment failure (yes/no), migraine classification (EM/CM), and treatment*migraine classification as fixed effects, and baseline number of migraine days and years since onset of migraines as covariates.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence in a participant who received study drug without regard to possibility of causal relationship. Severe AE was defined as inability to carry out usual activities. Treatment-related AEs were defined as AEs with possible, probable, definite, or missing relationship to study drug. Serious AEs were defined as death, a life-threatening AE, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized participant and required medical intervention to prevent 1 of the outcomes listed in this definition. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.
