Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: To evaluate the effect of ERENUMAB on change in the monthly average number of headache days with moderate or severe intensity from baseline to week 9-12 in patients with persistent post-traumatic headache (PPTH) To evaluate the effect of ERENUMAB on change in the monthly average number of headache days from baseline to week 9-12 in PPTH patients ;Secondary Objective: To evaluate the proportion of patients reaching at least 75% reduction in the monthly average number of headache days of any severity (Time frame: baseline – week 12) To evaluate the proportion of patients reaching at least 50% reduction in the monthly average number of headache days of any severity (i.e. responders) (Time frame: baseline – week 9-12) To evaluate the proportion of patients reaching at least 25% reduction in the monthly average number of headache days of any severity (Time frame: baseline – week 9-12) To evaluate the mean change in disability score, as measured by the 6-item Headache Impact Test (HIT-6) from baseline – week 12 To evaluate the mean change in number of days using acute medication from baseline – week 9-12 To evaluate the tolerability of erenumab. ;Primary end point(s): Change in the monthly average number of headache days with moderate or severe intensity from baseline to week 9-12 in patients with persistent post-traumatic headache (PPTH) Change in the monthly average number of headache days from baseline to week 9-12 in PPTH patients ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: See above

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
