Fremanezumab Treatment of Migraine in Women With Menstrual Migraine Ages 18-45

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn about how a migraine prevention medicine works for people who have migraines/headaches with their menstrual period. The study includes people ages 18 to 45 who have been diagnosed with migraine and who have a migraine with their menstrual period or those who have migraines with their menstrual period and at other times of the month as well.

The main question the study aims to answer are:

• Does fremanazemab, an injectable calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) pathway targeting therapy, decrease migraines associated with menstruation?

Participants will

* have an evaluation and examination by a headache specialist physician
* will receive the study medicine or inactive substitute every three months for two treatments
* fill out diaries about their migraines
* have tests on saliva to measure hormone levels

Researchers will compare the people who get the medicine to those who get the inactive substitute to see if there are differences in response.

Patients who meet the eligibility criteria and wish to participate will be consented, and will then be randomized to receive two rounds of treatment with either fremanezumab or placebo, administered 3 months apart, to understand efficacy and response in decreasing migraine days. The investigators will monitor with daily logs and use evidenced metrics to assess response. Participants will be carefully screened to ensure that they do not become pregnant while in the study. The investigators will measure monthly hormone levels using salivary samples. Each participant will have three in-person visits and will have five 5 visits via secure telehealth. The investigators are studying decreased headache days, severity, disability and quality of life.

   * Menstrually-related migraine with aura, either/or
   * Pure Menstrual migraine without aura, either/or
   * Menstrually-related migraine without aura
6. The patient agrees not to initiate any migraine preventive medications during the study
7. The patient is in good health in the opinion of the sponsor as determined by medical evaluation, including medical history, neurologic examination, laboratory tests and cardiac monitoring
8. The patient has a body weight ≥45 kg and a body mass index within the range of 17.5 to 34.9 kg/m\^2, inclusive
9. The patient demonstrated compliance with the electronic headache diary during the 28-day baseline period by entry of headache data on a minimum of 21 days cumulative during the 28-day baseline period (\~diary compliance)
10. Three months of regular menstrual cycle prior to baseline period and 1 regular cycle (within 21-28 days) of previous cycle during the baseline run-in period
11. Patients not using birth control must have a negative urine beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin(β-HCG) test at the Screening Visit (V1), and must not be in a sexual relationship with a person who produces sperm or must be medically confirmed as sterile. These conditions must be met from the baseline period through the entire duration of study and 5.5 months after the last dose of fremanezumab.
12. Patients using birth control must have a negative β-HCG test result and practice a highly effective method of birth control prior to treatment administration and 5.5 months following the last dose of IMP. Birth control permitted should allow estrogen drop and maintenance of monthly cycle: estrogen/progesterone pills; etonogestrel/ethinylestradiol ring; copper intrauterine device (IUD) and progesterone-containing IUD and have been on their current birth control for ≥30 days.
13. The patient must be willing and able to comply with study restrictions and attend the clinic for all study visits required for the duration of the study and to attend follow up evaluations, as specified in the protocol

5. The patient is overusing acute medication
6. The patient is pregnant or lactating or planning to get pregnant in ≤13 months post screening visit (V1)
