Study of Sustained Benefit of AMG334 in Adult Episodic Migraine Patients

Overview

The purpose of this study is to compare the sustained long-term benefit between two treatment paradigms of migraine prophylactic agents (erenumab versus a control arm of oral prophylactics) in episodic migraine patients who have previously failed 1 to 2 prophylactic migraine treatments.

Full Title of Study: “A 12-month Prospective, Randomized, Interventional, Global, Multi-center, Active-controlled Study Comparing Sustained Benefit of Two Treatment Paradigms (AMG334 qm vs. Oral Prophylactics) in Adult Episodic Migraine Patients”

Study Type

  • Study Type: Interventional
  • Study Design
    • Allocation: Randomized
    • Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
    • Primary Purpose: Treatment
    • Masking: None (Open Label)
  • Study Primary Completion Date: October 1, 2021

Interventions

  • Drug: AMG334
    • Subcutaneous Injection
  • Drug: Oral Prophylactic
    • SOC Oral Tablet/Capsule

Arms, Groups and Cohorts

  • Experimental: AMG334 70 mg/140 mg
    • Participants were randomized to receive 70 mg or 140 mg of AMG334 as a subcutaneous injection once per month for 52 weeks in the Core Phase. Participants were permitted to switch to an approved oral prophylactic based on treatment failure status and at the investigator’s and participant’s discretion. Participants who completed visits through Week 52 of the Core Phase were eligible to participate in the 52-week Extension Phase of the study.
  • Active Comparator: Oral Prophylactic
    • Participants were randomized to receive a standard of care (SOC) locally approved oral prophylactic migraine medication once per day for 52 weeks in the Core Phase, as prescribed per local country labels. Participants were permitted to switch to a different approved oral prophylactic based on treatment failure status and at the investigator’s and participant’s discretion. Participants who completed visits through Week 52 of the Core Phase were eligible to participate in the 52-week Extension Phase of the study.

Clinical Trial Outcome Measures

Primary Measures

  • Number of Participants Who Completed Initially Assigned Treatment and Achieved at Least a 50% Reduction From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days at Month 12
    • Time Frame: Baseline and Month 12
    • A migraine day was defined as 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, lasting for ≥ 30 minutes, and meeting at least one of the following criteria: ≥2 of the following pain features: Unilateral Throbbing Moderate to severe Exacerbated with exercise/physical activity ≥1 of the following associated symptoms: Nausea and/or vomiting Photophobia and phonophobia If the participant took a migraine-specific medication (ie, triptan or ergotamine) during aura, or to treat a headache on a calendar day, then it was counted as a migraine day regardless of the duration and pain features/associated symptoms. In addition to achieving at least a 50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine days, participants must have also completed their initially assigned treatment through Month 12.

Secondary Measures

  • Number of Participants Who Completed Initially Assigned Treatment at Month 12
    • Time Frame: Month 12
  • Cumulative Mean Change From Baseline on the Monthly Migraine Days to Week 52
    • Time Frame: Baseline and Week 4, Week 8, Week 12, Week 16, Week 20, Week 24, Week 28, Week 32, Week 36, Week 40, Week 44, Week 48, and Week 52
    • A migraine day was defined as any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). The mean of monthly migraine days was obtained cumulatively every 4 weeks across 52 weeks (for example, at Week 8 the mean will be based on data from Week 1 to Week 8; and at Week 12 the mean will be based on data from Week 1 to Week 12). The cumulative mean change from baseline in monthly migraine days was derived using difference between cumulative average of each month and baseline monthly migraine days.
  • Number of Responders as Measured by the Patient’s Global Impression of Change (PGIC) Scale at Week 52
    • Time Frame: Baseline and Week 52
    • The PGIC scale consists of one item which measures the participants’ perception of change in their condition relative to the beginning of the study. Responses are rated on a 7-item response scale ranging from very much improved (7) to no change or worsened condition (1). A responder was defined as a participant with a PGIC score of at least 5 (5=moderately better, 6=better, 7=a great deal better), at Week 52 for participants who completed the treatment period at Week 52 on the initially assigned treatment.

Participating in This Clinical Trial

Inclusion Criteria

  • Written informed consent must be obtained before any assessment is performed. – Adults greater than or equal to 18 years of age upon entry into screening. – Documented history of migraine (with or without aura) greater than or equal to 12 months prior to screening according to the International Classification of Headache Disorders-3rd Edition (ICHD-3). – Greater than or equal to 4 and less than 15 days per month of migraine symptoms (based on ICHD-3 criteria) on average across 3 months prior to screening based on retrospective reporting. – Less than 15 days per month of headache symptoms (i.e., migraine and non-migraine). – Subjects in need for switching by documented failure of 1 or 2 prophylactic treatments in the last 6 months due to either lack of efficacy or poor tolerability. For subjects with 1 prior treatment failure, the failure should have occurred in the last 6 months. For subjects with 2 prior treatment failures, the second treatment failure should have occurred in the last 6 months. – During baseline: Confirmed migraine frequency of 4 to 14 migraine days and less than 15 days of headache symptoms. – During baseline: greater than or equal to 80% compliance with the headache diary. Exclusion Criteria:
