a study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of eptinezumab administered intravenously in participants experiencing acute attack of migraine

Conditions: Migraine

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.

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.

Eligibility criteria:
inclusion criteria: * greater than 1-year history of migraine, with or without aura, with onset of first migraine before age 50. * migraine on 4 to 15 days per month in the 3 months prior to screening. * headache free for at least 24 hours prior to onset of a qualifying migraine. exclusion criteria: * unable to differentiate migraine from other headache or pain disorders. * use of the following medication, for any indication, within the 24-hour period prior to dosing with study drug: 1. triptans, ergotamines and ergot-derivatives 2. analgesics (including but not limited to acetaminophen, tramadol, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs \[nsaids\], combination analgesics, caffeine-containing analgesics, and opioids/narcotics) and other acute migraine medication(s) 3. antiemetic medications (including but not limited to prochlorperazine, promethazine, droperidol, chlorpromazine, metoclopramide) 4. antihistamines 5. devices, neuromodulation, neurostimulation, or injectable therapy (trigger point injections, extracranial nerve blocks, facet joint injections, spinal manipulation) * use of the following medication, for any indication, in each of the 3 months prior to screening: 1. opioids/narcotics or butalbital containing products (including combinations) on more than 4 days per month; 2. triptans, ergotamines, or combination analgesics for 10 or more days per month; 3. acetaminophen, aspirin or nsaids for 15 or more days per month (except if participant is taking 81 mg dose of aspirin for cardiac prophylaxis) * history or diagnosis of chronic tension-type headache, hypnic headache, cluster headache, hemicrania continua, new daily persistent headache, or unusual migraine subtypes such as hemiplegic migraine (sporadic and familial), ophthalmoplegic migraine and migraine with neurological accompaniments that are not typical of migraine aura (for example, diplopia, altered consciousness, or long duration). * any changes to preventive migraine treatment(s) within 1 month prior to screening and up to treatment with the study drug (day 0). * any use of approved devices, neuromodulation, neurostimulation, or injectable therapy (trigger point injections, extracranial nerve blocks, facet joint injections) within the 24-hour period prior to treatment with study drug (day 0). * any use of botulinum toxin for migraine or for any other medical/cosmetic reasons requiring injections within 7 days prior to treatment with study drug (day 0). * any use of systemic corticosteroid for migraine or any other reason within 3 months prior to treatment with study drug (day 0). * evidence or medical history of clinically significant psychiatric diseases that are uncontrolled and/or untreated. * receipt of any monoclonal antibody treatment, for migraine or any other indication, (within or outside a clinical study) within 6 months prior to screening.
