Brief summary

The primary objective of the study is to evaluate the long-term safety and tolerability of subcutaneous fremanezumab in the preventive treatment of migraine in pediatric participants 6 to 17 years of age (inclusive at enrollment in the pivotal study). Secondary objectives are to evaluate the efficacy of subcutaneous fremanezumab in pediatric participants with migraine and to evaluate the immunogenicity of fremanezumab and the impact of ADAs on clinical outcomes in pediatric participants exposed to fremanezumab. The total duration of the study is planned to be up to 84 months.

Detailed description

The study population will be composed of 3 subgroups of participants as follows: * Participants rolling over from the pivotal Phase 3 pediatric efficacy studies (Studies TV48125-CNS-30082 and TV48125-CNS-30083) * Participants rolling over from the Phase 1 pediatric pharmacokinetic study (Study TV48125-CNS-10141) * Participants rolling over from the pivotal Phase 3 pediatric efficacy studies (Studies TV48125-CNS-30082 and TV48125-CNS-30083) for safety follow-up and antidrug antibody (ADA) evaluation only

MeasureTime frameDescription
Mean Change From Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of Headache Days of at Least Moderate SeverityBaseline, Months 1, 5, and 9A headache day of at least moderate severity was defined as a calendar day (00:00 to 23:59) where the participant reported either of the following: A day with headache pain that lasted ≥2 hours with a peak severity of at least moderate severity or a day where the participant used acute headache medication (triptans or ergots) to treat a headache of any severity or duration. Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 4-week period/number of days with assessments recorded in in electronic diary \[e-diary\] for 4-week period) \* 28.
Mean Change From Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of Migraine DaysBaseline, Months 1, 5, and 9A migraine day was defined as a day with at least one of the following: A calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating ≥2 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for migraine with or without aura, or a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating ≥2 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for probable migraine, a migraine subtype where only 1 migraine criterion was missing, or a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine specific medications (triptans and ergot compounds). Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 4-week period/number of days with assessments recorded in e-diary for 4-week period) \* 28.
Percentage of Participants Reaching at Least 50% Reduction From Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of Migraine DaysMonths 1, 5, and 9A migraine day was defined as a day with at least one of the following: A calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating ≥2 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for migraine with or without aura, or a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating ≥2 consecutive hours of a headache meeting criteria for probable migraine, a migraine subtype where only 1 migraine criterion was missing, or a calendar day (0:00 to 23:59) demonstrating a headache of any duration that was treated with migraine specific medications (triptans and ergot compounds). Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 4-week period/number of days with assessments recorded in e-diary for 4-week period) \* 28.
Percentage of Participants Reaching at Least 50% Reduction From Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of Headache Days of at Least Moderate SeverityMonths 1, 5, and 9A headache day of at least moderate severity was defined as a calendar day (00:00 to 23:59) where the participant reported either of the following: A day with headache pain that lasted ≥2 hours with a peak severity of at least moderate severity or a day where the participant used acute headache medication (triptans or ergots) to treat a headache of any severity or duration. Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 4-week period/number of days with assessments recorded in in electronic diary \[e-diary\] for 4-week period) \* 28.
Mean Change From Baseline in the Monthly Average Number of Days of Use of Any Acute Headache MedicationsBaseline, Months 1, 5, and 9Participants recorded any headache medications (name of drug, number of tablets/capsules, and the dose in milligrams per tablet/capsule) taken each day in their electronic headache diary device. Acute headache medication included triptans and ergot compounds. Monthly averages were derived and normalized to 28 days equivalent by formula: (number of days of efficacy variable over 4-week period/number of days with assessments recorded in e-diary for 4-week period) \* 28.
Mean Change From Baseline in Migraine-related Disability Score, as Measured by the Pediatric Migraine Disability Assessment (PedMIDAS) QuestionnaireBaseline, Months 3, 6, 9, and 14The PedMIDAS is a scale developed to assess headache-related disability which can be self-administered by the participant or administered by a caregiver. It has been validated in participants aged 4 to 18 years and includes 3 subscales: the impact of headache on school performance (range of scores 0-92), disability at home (range of scores 0-92), social/sport functioning (range of scores 0-92). The subscales are added to get the total score with a range 0 to 276. The total score was used for grading of disability, with 4 score categories of 0 to 10, 11 to 30, 31 to 50, and 51-276 interpreted as disability grades 1 (little or no disability), 2 (mild disability), 3 (moderate disability), and 4 (severe disability), respectively. Higher total scores indicated severe disability. The change from baseline score is reported with a range of -276 to 276 with higher scores indicating more severe disability.
Number of Participants Developing Antidrug Antibodies (ADAs) Throughout the StudyDay 1 up to Day 393Number of participants who developed ADAs were reported.
