A 1-year Trial to Inform About Long-term Exposure to Eptinezumab in Participants With Chronic Cluster Headache (cCH)
- Registration Number
- NCT05064397
- Lead Sponsor
- H. Lundbeck A/S
- Brief Summary
The main goal of this trial is to inform about long-term safety and tolerability of eptinezumab in participants with chronic cluster headache.
- Detailed Description
The participants who take part in this trial will be asked to stay in the trial for about a year. The participants will be asked to visit the trial site 7 times during the trial. In between trial site visits, they will have scheduled phone calls with the trial site staff. They will also be asked to keep track of their cluster headaches at home with a headache diary.

Change From Baseline in the Work Productivity Activity Impairment: General Health Second Version (WPAI:GH2.0) Sub-Scores (Absenteeism, Presenteeism, Work Productivity Loss, Activity Impairment) at Weeks 4, 16, 28, 40 and 48 Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 4, 16, 28, 40, 48 The WPAI:GH2.0 is a patient self-rated clinical outcome assessment designed to provide a quantitative measure of the work productivity and activity impairment due to a health condition. The WPAI:GH2.0 assesses activities over the preceding 7 days and consists of 6 items: 1 item assesses employment (yes/no); 3 items assess the number of hours worked, the number of hours missed from work due to the participant's condition, or due to other reasons; and 2 visual numerical scales assess how much the participant's condition affects his/her productivity at work and his/her ability to complete normal daily activities. Each item (Absenteeism, Presenteeism, Work Productivity Loss, Activity Impairment) was calculated into an impairment percentage ranging from 0 to 100%, with higher numbers indicating greater impairment and less productivity (i.e. worse outcomes). Change from baseline for each item is shown here.
Health Care Resource Utilization - Number of Hospital Admissions Due to Cluster Headache Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 4, 16, 28, 40, 48 Number of participants admitted to the hospital due to CH has been reported.
Change From Baseline in Sleep Impact Scale (SIS) Domain Scores Over the Time Baseline (Week 0), Weeks 4, 12, 16, 24, 28, 36, 40, 48 The SIS is a patient-reported clinical outcome assessment used to assess quality of life resulting from sleep disturbance. The SIS questionnaire includes 35 items belonging to 7 domains to assess sleep impact on: daily activities; emotional well-being; emotional impact; energy/fatigue; social well-being; mental fatigue; and satisfaction with sleep. Each item, for 6 out of the 7 domains, is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (always or all of the time) to 5 (never or none of the time), whereas satisfaction with sleep is rated on a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (very satisfied) to 5 (very dissatisfied). Each domain yields a score ranging from 0 to 100, which is presented here. A higher score for Daily Activities, Emotional Well-being, Emotional Impact, Energy/Fatigue, Social Well-being, and Mental Fatigue indicates better quality of life. A lower score for Satisfaction with Sleep indicates a higher quality of life.
