One-year sustained efficacy of erenumab in episodic migraine: Results of the STRIVE study.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:To assess efficacy and tolerability of 1-year erenumab treatment in patients with episodic migraine. METHODS:Patients were randomized (n = 955; 1:1:1) during the 24-week double-blind treatment phase (DBTP) to monthly subcutaneous placebo or erenumab 70 or 140 mg. At week 24, 845 patients were rerandomized (1:1) to erenumab 70 or 140 mg during the 28-week dose-blinded active-treatment phase (ATP). Monthly migraine days (MMD), achieving ≥50%, ≥75%, and 100% reduction in MMD, and safety/tolerability were assessed. RESULTS:Mean MMD at DBTP baseline was 8.3. At week 52, mean changes (SE) from pre-DBTP baseline/week 24 (pre-ATP baseline) in MMD were -4.2 (0.2)/-1.1 (0.2) (70 mg) and -4.6 (0.2)/-1.8 (0.2) (140 mg) irrespective of treatment during the DBTP. For patients reducing dose from 140 (DBTP) to 70 mg (ATP), change in MMD from week 24 to 52 was -0.1 (0.3), and for those increasing from 70 (DBTP) to 140 mg (ATP), -1.8 (0.3). At week 52, 61.0%, 38.5%, and 19.8% of patients on erenumab 70 mg, and 64.9%, 40.8%, and 21.2% on erenumab 140 mg, achieved ≥50%, ≥75%, and 100% reduction in MMD from DBTP baseline, respectively. Among erenumab-treated patients in DBTP who showed ≥50% reduction in MMD during the last 3 months of DBTP and completed ATP, 86% showed sustained responses at ≥50% during the last 3 months of ATP. Safety of erenumab in ATP was similar to DBTP; exposure-adjusted incidence rates of adverse events were similar for either dose. CONCLUSION:Over 52 weeks, erenumab provided sustained efficacy in episodic migraine; the safety profiles were similar between erenumab dose groups in the presence of dose blinding. CLINICALTRIALSGOV IDENTIFIER:NCT02456740. CLASSIFICATION OF EVIDENCE:Class II evidence that 52 weeks of treatment with erenumab 70 and 140 mg subcutaneously monthly results in sustained reductions in monthly migraine days and similar dose tolerability for patients with episodic migraine.

Project description:ObjectiveTo assess long-term (up to 2 years) efficacy, tolerability, and safety of erenumab for the prevention of episodic migraine (EM) in Japanese patients.BackgroundPreviously published results from the double-blind treatment phase (DBTP) of a phase 2 clinical study have demonstrated the efficacy and safety of erenumab in Japanese patients with EM.MethodsPatients completing the 24-week placebo-controlled DBTP could continue into the 76-week open-label treatment phase (OLTP), receiving erenumab 70 mg or 140 mg subcutaneously once monthly. The initial dose in the OLTP was erenumab 70 mg monthly, which was later changed to 140 mg. After study completion, the following were assessed: change from baseline in monthly migraine days (MMD), change from baseline in monthly acute migraine-specific medication days (MSMD), percentage of patients achieving ≥50% and ≥75% reduction in MMD, change from baseline in the 6-item Headache Impact Test (HIT-6™) score, and safety (exposure-adjusted patient-incidence of adverse events [AEs], calculated as number of patients per 100 patient-years).ResultsOf 475 patients enrolled in the DBTP, 459 (96.6%) continued in the OLTP. The mean (SD) MMD was 7.9 (2.3) at baseline with the overall change from baseline at week 100 of -2.9 (4.1) days. The monthly acute MSMD was 5.7 (2.8) at baseline with change from baseline at week 100 of -1.7 (3.7) days. The proportion of patients who achieved ≥50% and ≥75% reduction in MMD from baseline at week 100 was 177/398 (44.5%) and 94/398 (23.6%), respectively. The HIT-6™ score was 58.4 (5.4) at baseline with a change of -6.4 (8.2) at week 100. The exposure-adjusted patient-incidence of AEs during the OLTP was 207.1/100 patient-years for the combined erenumab group, similar to that observed for either erenumab (271.0/100 patient-years) or placebo (257.3/100 patient-years) during the DBTP, and no new safety signals were detected during the OLTP.ConclusionLong-term erenumab treatment in Japanese patients with EM demonstrated sustained efficacy for up to 2 years, with a safety profile similar to previous studies, supporting erenumab as a potential new therapy for EM prevention in Japan.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:A phase 2, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of erenumab for the prevention of episodic migraine in Japanese patients was conducted. BACKGROUND:Previous global clinical studies have demonstrated the efficacy of erenumab in the prevention of migraine. METHODS:Patients were randomized to placebo or erenumab 28, 70, or 140 mg administered subcutaneously once per month for 6 months. The primary endpoint was change from baseline in mean monthly migraine days over months 4-6 of the double-blind treatment phase. Secondary endpoints included the proportion of patients achieving ?50% reduction from baseline in mean monthly migraine days (?50% response) and change from baseline in mean monthly acute migraine-specific medication treatment days (MSMD) and mean Headache Impact Test (HIT-6™) scores. Efficacy outcomes were also determined at months 1, 2, and 3. RESULTS:Four hundred and seventy five patients were randomized 2:1:2:2 to placebo and erenumab 28, 70, and 140 mg, respectively. Greater reductions in monthly migraine days were observed for erenumab vs placebo with differences of -1.25 (95% CI: -2.10 to -0.41; P = .004), -2.31 (95% CI: -3.00 to -1.62; P < .001), and -1.89 (95% CI: -2.58 to -1.20; P < .001) days for erenumab 28, 70, and 140 mg. The odds of having a ?50% response were 3.2, 5.6, and 4.7 times greater for erenumab 28 mg (95% CI: 1.30-7.88; P = .009), 70 mg (95% CI: 2.60-12.06; P < .001), and 140 mg (95% CI: 2.24-9.99; P < .001) than for placebo. Greater reductions from baseline in mean acute monthly MSMD were observed for erenumab vs placebo with differences of -1.07 (95% CI: -1.80 to -0.35; P = .004), -2.07 (95% CI: -2.66 to -1.49; P < .001), and -2.04 (95% CI: -2.63 to -1.45; P < .001) days for erenumab 28, 70, and 140 mg. Erenumab 70 and 140 mg also resulted in greater improvements in HIT-6™ scores. The safety profile was similar across treatment groups. The most common adverse event was nasopharyngitis, which occurred in 29.4% of patients in the placebo group and 28.9%-33.3% of patients in the erenumab groups. CONCLUSION:Monthly subcutaneous injections of erenumab 70 mg demonstrated statistically significant and numerically maximal efficacy with a favorable safety profile, suggesting that erenumab is a potential new therapy for migraine prevention in Japan.

Project description:During a 1-year compassionate use program, 156 patients with migraine self-administered a monthly dose of erenumab 140 mg with a subcutaneous autoinjector. Main inclusion criteria were: ≥ 4 migraine days/month and ≥two prior prophylactic treatment failures. The patients covered the migraine severity spectrum from episodic migraine (EM) (n = 80) to chronic migraine (CM) (n = 76). During the 3rd month of treatment, monthly headache days decreased by 45.7% in EM and 35.5% in CM. The 50% responder rate for reduction in monthly headache days was significantly higher in EM (55%) than in CM (43%) (p = 0.05). In both the migraine subgroups, the clinical improvement vs. baseline was already significant during the 1st month of treatment (p < 0.001). There were also significant reductions in mean headache severity, duration, and monthly days with acute drug intake. The 30% responder rate at 3 months was 60% in CM and 54.1% of patients reversed from CM to EM. The therapeutic effect was maintained at 12 months when 50% responder rates, considering discontinuation for lack of efficacy or adverse effects as 0% response, still were 51% in EM and 41% in CM. A total of 10 patients with EM (12.5%) and 23 patients with CM (30.3%) had discontinued treatment, considering the treatment as ineffective. At 3 months, 48% of patients reported non-serious adverse events among which the most frequent was constipation (20.5%); corresponding figures at 12 months were 30 and 15%. Discontinuation due to an adverse effect for the entire 12 month period was rare (3.8%). The lower efficacy in CM than in EM was mainly due to a very low 50% responder rate in patients with CM with continuous pain (13%) as compared to CM with pain-free periods (58%) (p < 0.001). Similarly, the 50% responder rate was lower in patients with ≥two prior prophylactic treatment failures (40.5%) compared to those with two failures (70%) (p < 0.05). There was no significant efficacy difference between low (4-7 migraine days/month, n = 22) and high frequency (8-14 days, n = 59) EM nor between patients with CM with (n = 50) or without (n = 26) acute medication overuse. Erenumab had no effect on the frequency of auras. Taken together, erenumab 140 mg monthly was highly effective for migraine prophylaxis over the whole severity spectrum of the disease, except in patients with continuous headaches. Its effect is significant after the first injection, quasi-maximal after the second injection, and does not wear off after 12 months. The most frequent adverse effect was constipation. These results are compared to those published for erenumab in the pivotal randomized placebo-controlled trials and to those reported in several recent real-world studies.

Project description:ObjectiveTo determine the onset of preventive efficacy with eptinezumab in patients with migraine.BackgroundEptinezumab is a monoclonal antibody inhibiting calcitonin gene-related peptide approved as an intravenously administered treatment for the prevention of migraine.MethodsPatients who received eptinezumab 100 mg, eptinezumab 300 mg, or placebo in PROMISE7-1 (episodic migraine; 100 mg, n = 221; 300 mg, n = 222; placebo, n = 222) or PROMISE7-2 (chronic migraine; 100 mg, n = 356; 300 mg, n = 350; placebo, n = 366) were included. Testing of the percentage of patients with a migraine on day 1 after dosing was prespecified and alpha-controlled. In further exploration of this prespecified endpoint, a post hoc closed testing procedure, which controlled the false-positive (type 1) error rate, provided a statistically rigorous evaluation of migraine prevention onset. The procedure involved up to 84 tests of significance, all of which were performed in sequence until the first nonsignificant result.ResultsFor both studies, all tests for significance for eptinezumab 100 and 300 mg, from days 1-84 through day 1 alone, achieved nominal significance (P < .05), indicating that eptinezumab was fully effective beginning on day 1. Over each interval, the treatment effect was comparable to the effect over weeks 1-12. Mean changes from baseline in monthly migraine days for the primary endpoint period ranged from -3.9 to -4.9, -4.1 to -4.9, and -2.2 to -3.2 for eptinezumab 100, 300 mg, and placebo, respectively, in PROMISE7-1 and from -7.2 to -8.0, -7.9 to -8.2, and -4.3 to -5.6, respectively, in PROMISE7-2. The difference from placebo (95% confidence interval) in day 1 treatment effect was -2.2 (-4.1, -0.3) and -2.5 (-4.4, -0.6) days/month for eptinezumab 100 and 300 mg, respectively, in PROMISE7-1, and was -3.8 (-5.6, -2.0) and -4.0 (-5.8, -2.1) days/month for 100 and 300 mg, respectively, in PROMISE7-2.ConclusionsThe migraine preventive effect of eptinezumab is rapid and sustained in patients with episodic or chronic migraine, with onset of optimal preventive efficacy observed on the day following the initial dose.

Project description:BACKGROUND:We performed a post hoc, subgroup analysis of a phase 3, randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study of erenumab for prevention of episodic migraine (STRIVE) to determine the efficacy and safety of erenumab in women with self-reported menstrual migraine. METHODS:Patients received placebo, erenumab 70?mg, or erenumab 140?mg subcutaneously once monthly during the 6-month double-blind treatment phase of STRIVE. Women who reported history of menstrual migraine and who were???50?years old were included in the analysis. Endpoints were change from baseline in monthly migraine days (MMD) and monthly acute migraine-specific medication days (MSMD; among patients who took acute migraine-specific medications at baseline), proportion of patients achieving ? 50% reduction from baseline in MMD, and incidence of adverse events. RESULTS:Among 814 women enrolled in STRIVE, 232 (28.5%) reported a history of menstrual migraine and were???50?years old. Of the 232 patients, 214 (92%) had a baseline MMD?>?5, suggesting a high proportion of women with attacks outside of the 5-day perimenstrual window (2?days before and 3?days after the start of menstruation). Information on "migraine days" includes (and does not discriminate between) perimenstrual and intermenstrual migraine attacks. Between-group differences from placebo over months 4-6 for erenumab 70?mg and 140?mg were?-?1.8 (P?=?0.001) and?-?2.1 (P?<?0.001) days for MMD and?-?1.6 (P?=?0.002) and?-?2.4 (P?<?0.001) days for acute MSMD, respectively. The odds of having a???50% reduction from baseline in MMD over months 4-6 were 2.2 (P?=?0.024) and 2.8 (P?=?0.002) times greater for erenumab 70?mg and 140?mg, respectively, than for placebo. Erenumab had an overall safety profile comparable to placebo. CONCLUSION:Data from this subgroup analysis of women with menstrual migraine are consistent with data from the overall STRIVE episodic migraine population, supporting the efficacy and safety of erenumab in women who experience menstrual migraine.
