Brief summary

A study to evaluate the effect of erenumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in monthly migraine days in participants with episodic migraine.

Detailed description

The study is composed of an initial screening phase (up to 3 weeks), a 4-week baseline phase, a 12-week double-blind treatment phase (DBTP), an open-label treatment phase (OLTP) for up to 256 weeks, and an 8-week safety follow-up (12 weeks after the last dose of investigational product \[IP\]). In the DBTP participants were to be randomized in a 3:2:2:2 ratio to placebo, erenumab 7 mg, erenumab 21 mg, or erenumab 70 mg. During the open-label treatment phase, participants were to receive erenumab 70 mg QM from week 12 to week 264. After implementation of Protocol Amendment 3 (07 April 2016), participants remaining in the OLTP increased their dose to erenumab 140 mg QM up to week 264. The safety follow-up increased from an 8-week safety follow-up to a 12-week safety follow-up (16 weeks after the last dose of investigational product). During the OLTP participants enrolled at sites in the United States could enroll in an optional clinical home use (CHU) substudy, per a country-specific protocol amendment dated 20 June 2016. Participants in the CHU substudy were to be randomized 1:1 into 1 of 2 treatment groups: erenumab 140 mg using a prefilled syringe or erenumab 140 mg using an autoinjector/pen. Day 1 of the CHU substudy corresponded with any OLTP study visit up through Week 256, as long as the participant had received at least 2 doses of erenumab 140 mg. During the CHU substudy, participants initially self-administered IP under site supervision on substudy day 1, and then self-administered IP at home on substudy days 29 and 57.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Change From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days at Week 124-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phaseA migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with or without aura. The change from baseline in monthly migraine days was calculated as the number of migraine days during the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase - the number of migraine days during the 4-week baseline phase.
CHU Substudy: Number of Participants Who Self-administered a Full Dose, Partial Dose, or No Dose of ErenumabCHU substudy day 29 (week 4) and day 57 (week 8)To assess participants ability to administer a full dose of erenumab in home-use at day 29 (week 4) and day 57 (week 8), site staff called participants and asked whether the participant administered a full, partial, or no dose of erenumab. A full dose means that the entire volume of both prefilled syringes or autoinjector/pens were injected. Discontinued prior to dosing day indicates participants who had discontinued the investigational product and did not attempt to self-administer on day 29 or 57.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events in the Double-blind Treatment PhaseFrom first dose of study drug in the double-blind treatment phase until the first dose of study drug in the open-label treatment phase (12 weeks) or up to 12 weeks after last dose for participants who did not enter the open-label treatment phase.An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject, including worsening of a pre-existing medical condition and laboratory value changes that require treatment or adjustment in current therapy. AEs were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03: 1. Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms 2. Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting daily activities 3. Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care 4. Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated 5.

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 50% Reduction From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days at Week 124-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phaseA migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined either as a migraine without aura or a migraine with aura. Monthly migraine days were calculated as the number of migraine days in the 4-week baseline phase and during the last 4 weeks of double-blind treatment. At least a 50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine days was determined if the change in monthly migraine days from the 4-week baseline phase to the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase \* 100 / baseline monthly migraine days was less than or equal to -50%.
Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-erenumab Antibodies During the Double-blind Treatment Phase12 weeksTwo validated assays were used to detect the presence of anti-erenumab antibodies. First, an electrochemiluminescent bridging immunoassay was used to detect binding antibodies (screening assay) and confirm antibodies (confirmatory assay) capable of binding erenumab. Second, a cell-based bioassay was used to test positive binding antibody samples for neutralizing activity against erenumab. Participants who developed anti-erenumab antibodies are participants who were negative or had no result at baseline but positive at any time postbaseline during the DBTP. If a sample was positive for binding antibodies and demonstrated neutralizing activity at the same time point, the participant was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies.

Change From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days at Week 12

A migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with or without aura. The change from baseline in monthly migraine days was calculated as the number of migraine days during the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase - the number of migraine days during the 4-week baseline phase.

Time frame: 4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of investigational product (IP) and had ≥ 4 migraine days during the 4-week baseline phase (efficacy analysis set), and with at least one change from baseline value in monthly migraine days.

Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-erenumab Antibodies During the Double-blind Treatment Phase

Two validated assays were used to detect the presence of anti-erenumab antibodies. First, an electrochemiluminescent bridging immunoassay was used to detect binding antibodies (screening assay) and confirm antibodies (confirmatory assay) capable of binding erenumab. Second, a cell-based bioassay was used to test positive binding antibody samples for neutralizing activity against erenumab. Participants who developed anti-erenumab antibodies are participants who were negative or had no result at baseline but positive at any time postbaseline during the DBTP. If a sample was positive for binding antibodies and demonstrated neutralizing activity at the same time point, the participant was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies.

Time frame: 12 weeks

Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events in the Double-blind Treatment Phase

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject, including worsening of a pre-existing medical condition and laboratory value changes that require treatment or adjustment in current therapy. AEs were graded using the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.03: 1. Mild; asymptomatic or mild symptoms 2. Moderate; minimal, local or noninvasive intervention indicated; limiting daily activities 3. Severe or medically significant but not immediately life-threatening; hospitalization indicated; disabling; limiting self-care 4. Life-threatening consequences; urgent intervention indicated 5. Death related to AE A serious adverse event is an AE that meets at least 1 of the following criteria: * fatal * life threatening * requires in-patient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization * results in persistent or significant disability/incapacity * congenital anomaly/birth defect * other medically important serious event

Time frame: From first dose of study drug in the double-blind treatment phase until the first dose of study drug in the open-label treatment phase (12 weeks) or up to 12 weeks after last dose for participants who did not enter the open-label treatment phase.

Population: Randomized participants who received at least one dose of investigational product (safety analysis set).

Percentage of Participants With at Least a 50% Reduction From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days at Week 12

A migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined either as a migraine without aura or a migraine with aura. Monthly migraine days were calculated as the number of migraine days in the 4-week baseline phase and during the last 4 weeks of double-blind treatment. At least a 50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine days was determined if the change in monthly migraine days from the 4-week baseline phase to the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase \* 100 / baseline monthly migraine days was less than or equal to -50%.

Time frame: 4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase

Population: Participants who received at least 1 dose of investigational product and had ≥ 4 migraine days during the 4-week baseline phase (efficacy analysis set) with available data at week 12.
