extension study of abp-20001 to evaluate safety and efficacy of repeat treatments of abp-450 for migraine prevention

Conditions: Migraine

Summary: this phase 2 extension trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of abp-450 for migraine prevention in adults who suffer from six or more migraine days per month. the study will enroll approximately 666 patients across approximately 65 sites in the united states, canada and australia from the phase 2 trial. study subjects will be divided evenly across a low dose group and a high dose group. all patients will receive four treatment cycles of abp-450 utilizing the company's novel injection paradigm.

the phase 2 extension trial will evaluate the efficacy and safety of abp-450 for migraine prevention in adults who suffer from six or more migraine days per month. the study will enroll approximately 666 patients across approximately 65 sites in the united states, canada and australia from phase 2 trial. study subjects who had their initial dose of study drug in phase 2 trial study, irrespective of treatment allocation, will be eligible to enroll in this extension study. study subjects will be divided evenly across a group receiving a low dose of abp-450 and a group receiving a high dose of abp-450. all patients will receive four treatment cycles utilizing the company's novel treatment paradigm involving fewer injections than the current botulinum toxin treatment option for chronic migraine.

patients must be excluded if they report suicidal ideation with intent, with or without a plan (ie, type 4 or 5 on the c-ssrs) in the time since enrolling in study abp-20001. prior/concomitant medications and treatments 13. injection with anesthesia or steroids in the targeted muscles since initiating abp-20001 study treatment. 14. use of opioids or barbiturates \>2 days per month since initiating abp-20001 study treatment. 15. use of cbd or other types of cannabinoids since initiating abp-20001 study treatment. 16. use of botulinum toxin for migraine or any other medical reasons, including cosmetic use, at or above the shoulders outside of study abp-20001 since initiating abp-20001 study treatment and throughout study abp-20002. 17. any cgrp inhibitor treatment (eg, erenumab \[aimovig®\], eptinezumab \[vyepti®\], fremanezumab \[ajovy®\], or galcanezumab \[emgality®\], rimegepant sulfate \[nurtec™\], ubrogepant \[ubrelvy™\] within or outside of a clinical study) since initiating abp-20001 study treatment. 18. use of small molecule migraine drugs (eg, beta-blockers, anticonvulsants, antidepressants, calcium channel blockers) since initiating abp-20001 study treatment. 19. use of devices for the treatment of migraine (ie, non-invasive neuromodulation therapies including but not limited to non-invasive nerve stimulation \[gammacore\], transcranial magnetic stimulation \[cefaly\], external trigeminal nerve stimulation, transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation, and peripheral neuroelectrical stimulation) since initiating abp-20001 study treatment. 20. any other treatments or therapies (eg, acupuncture in head and neck region, cranial traction, nociceptive trigeminal inhibition, occipital nerve block treatments, and dental splints for headache) to the head, neck, or shoulder regions since initiating abp-20001 study treatment that, in the opinion of the investigator, would interfere with the investigational study drug. 21. history of inadequate response to 3 classes of medications (which have different mechanisms of action) prescribed for the prevention of migraine, excluding cgrp therapies. 22. history of hypersensitivity to human serum albumin, sucrose, or botulinum toxin type a. 23. participation in another interventional study since initiating abp-20001 study treatment. other exclusion criteria: 24. patients who have been infected with covid-19 for whom the infection worsened their migraine disorder. patients for whom infection with covid-19 did not worsen their migraine disorder may be included in the study. 25. female patients pregnant or planning on becoming pregnant during the study and/or lactating/breastfeeding. 26. patient is an employee or family member of the investigator, study site personnel, ppd, or aeon.
