Phase 3
Completed
Conditions
Migraine
Interventions
Drug: Placebo
Registration Number
NCT04152083
Lead Sponsor
H. Lundbeck A/S
Brief Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eptinezumab administered intravenously in participants experiencing an acute attack of migraine.

Detailed Description

This will be a parallel group, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled study assessing the efficacy of eptinezumab for acute migraine, defined as an active intercurrent migraine occurring in those participants who are candidates for preventive therapy. Participants will be randomized to receive a single dose of eptinezumab or placebo in a 1:1 ratio. The total study duration will be approximately 4 to 12 weeks, including up to an 8-week screening period and 4-week of safety follow-up, with clinic visits occurring on Screening, Day 0 (dosing day), and Week 4.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Time to Absence of Most Bothersome Symptom (MBS)Up to 48 hours postdose

Time to absence of most bothersome symptom defined as the time that the participant reported absence of MBS (of nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia).

Time to Headache Pain FreedomUp to 48 hours postdose

Time to headache pain freedom defined as the time that the participant reported freedom of pain, meaning their headache pain had gone from moderate to severe at baseline to no pain.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Headache Pain Freedom at 4 Hours4 hours

Number of participants with freedom from headache pain at 4 hours postdose are reported. Freedom from headache pain meaning that the headache pain that had gone from moderate to severe at baseline to no pain with no administration of rescue medications.

Absence of MBS at 4 Hours4 hours

Number of participants with absence of MBS (of nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia) at 4 hours postdose are reported.

Headache Pain Freedom at 2 Hours2 hours

Number of participants with freedom from headache pain at 2 hours postdose are reported. Freedom from headache pain meaning that the headache pain that had gone from moderate to severe at baseline to no pain with no administration of rescue medications.

Absence of MBS at 2 Hours2 hours

Number of participants with absence of MBS (of nausea, photophobia, or phonophobia) at 2 hours postdose are reported.

Use of Rescue Medication Within the First 24 HoursUp to 24 hours postdose

Rescue medication was defined as any medication to treat migraine or migraine-associated symptoms, which could have been provided to the participant any time after 2 hours post-start of infusion. Use of rescue medication was captured in the eDiary. Number of participants who used rescue medication up to 24 hours postdose are reported.
