A Study of Eptinezumab in Participants With Migraine and Medication Overuse Headache

Phase 4
Completed
Conditions
Medication Overuse Headache
Migraine
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT05452239
Lead Sponsor
H. Lundbeck A/S
Brief Summary

Medication overuse headache (MOH) is a type of headache caused by excessive use of acute headache or migraine medications (medications used to treat a headache or migraine once it begins). Treatment of MOH usually involves reducing the dose of or discontinuing acute medications.

Eptinezumab is a medication used for the preventive treatment of migraine in adults. The main goals of this trial are to learn whether eptinezumab helps reduce the number of days with migraine, the number of days with headache, and acute medication use in adults who have migraine and MOH.

Detailed Description

The total study duration from screening visit to safety follow-up visit is approximately 36 weeks and includes a screening period (4 weeks), a placebo-controlled period (12 weeks), an open-label period (12 weeks), and a safety follow-up period (8 weeks).

Response: ≥75% Reduction From Baseline in MHDsBaseline to Weeks 1-4 and Weeks 1-12
Change From Baseline in the Migraine Disability Assessment (mMIDAS) Total ScoreBaseline to Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24

The mMIDAS is a self-reporting questionnaire designed to assess absenteeism (complete disability) and presenteeism (reduced participation) in several domains, including work, school, family, social, and leisure activities. The total number of days with disability is rated on a 4-point scale, from the lower total score that indicates a Little or No Disability; Mild Disability; Moderate Disability to the higher total score that indicates a Severe Disability.

Change from Baseline in Rate of Migraines and Headaches with Severe Pain IntensityWeeks 1-4 and Weeks 1-12
Change From Baseline in the Health-Related Quality of Life (EQ-5D-5L) Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ScoreBaseline to Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24

The EQ-5D-5L42 is a patient-reported assessment designed to measure the participant's wellbeing.

It consists of 5 descriptive items (mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort, and depression/anxiety) and a VAS of the overall health state. Each descriptive item is rated on a 5-point index ranging from 1 (no problems) to 5 (extreme problems) and a single summary index (from 0 to 1) can be calculated. The VAS ranges from 0 (worst imaginable health state) to 100 (best imaginable health state).

Change From Baseline in Treatment Satisfaction Questionnaire for Medicine (9 Items) (TSQM-9) ScoreBaseline to Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24

The TSQM-9 is a generic questionnaire assessing the participants satisfaction with the medication. The tool consists of 9 items addressing effectiveness, side effects, convenience, and overall satisfaction of the study drug.

Response: ≥50% Reduction From Baseline in MHDsBaseline to Weeks 1-4 and Weeks 1-12
Patient Global Impression of Change (PGIC) ScoreWeek 4, Week 12, and Week 24

The PGIC is a patient-reported measure of improvement in pain sensation and quality of life scored on a scale from 1 (very much improved) to 7 (very much worse).

Change From Baseline in the Migraine-Specific Quality of Life (MSQ v2.1) Sub-ScoresBaseline to Week 4, Week 12, and Week 24

The MSQ v2.1 is designed to assess the quality of life in participants with migraine.

It consists of 14 items covering 3 domains: role function restrictive (7 items); role function preventive (4 items); and emotional function (3 items). Each item is scored on a 6-point scale ranging from 1 (none of the time) to 6 (all of the time). Raw domain scores are summed and transformed to a 0-to-100-point scale.

Higher scores indicate better quality of life. Sub-scores: Role Function-Restrictive, Role Function-Preventive, Emotional Function)

Change in Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS) ScoreWeeks 1-12 and Weeks 13-24

Participants will identify a migraine-related symptom that is most bothersome for them. Participants will be asked to rate the improvement in this symptom from screening on a 7-point scale. The pre-specified bothersome items are: nausea, vomiting, sensitivity to light, sensitivity to sound.

Change From Baseline in the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) Total ScoreWeek 4, Week 12, and Week 24

The HIT-6 (v1.0) is a questionnaire designed to assess the impact of an occurring headache and its effect on the ability to function normally in daily life. The HIT-6 contains 6 questions, each item is rated from "never" to "always" with the following response scores: never = 6, rarely = 8, sometimes = 10, very often = 11, and always = 13. The total score for the HIT-6 is the sum of each response score and ranges from 36 to 78. The life impact derived from the total score is described as followed: Severe (≥60), Substantial (56 59), Some (50-55), Little to None (≤49).

Change From Baseline in Work Productivity as Measured Using the Work Productivity and Activity Impairment Questionnaire (WPAI) Sub-ScoresBaseline to Week 12 and Week 24

The WPAI is designed to provide a quantitative measure of the work productivity and activity impairment due to a specific health problem (WPAI:M). The WPAI:M assesses activities over the preceding 7 days and consists of 6 items: 1 item assess employment status, 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 to assess how much the participant's condition affects their productivity at work and their ability to complete normal daily activities. Sub-scores: (Absenteeism, Presenteeism, Work productivity loss, Activity impairment)

Change From Baseline in Hospital Anxiety and Depression (HADS) Sub-ScoresBaseline to Week 12 and Week 24

The HADS is a patient-rated scale designed to screen for anxiety and depressive states in non-psychiatric participants. The HADS consists of two sub-scales: the D-scale measures depression and the A-scale measures anxiety. Each sub-scale contains 7 items, and each item is rated from 0 (absent) to 3 (maximum severity).

The score of each sub-scale ranges from 0 to 21 and are analysed separately.

Change From Baseline in Health Care Resources Utilisation (HCRU) ScoreBaseline to Week 12 and Week 24

Migraine-specific health care resource utilization information will be collected in terms of outpatient health care professional visits, emergency room visits, hospital admissions, as well as duration of hospital stays.
