Abstract Details

Improvement in Response Over Time With Fremanezumab in Patients Who Reverted From a Chronic to an Episodic Migraine Classification
Headache
P1 - Poster Session 1 (5:30 PM-6:30 PM)
13-013
To evaluate responder rates using different response thresholds as a measure of efficacy of fremanezumab in adults with chronic migraine (CM) who reverted to episodic migraine (EM).
CM is a distinct disorder with a clinical profile and response pattern from that of EM. Fremanezumab, a fully humanized monoclonal antibody (IgG2Δa) that selectively targets calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP), is approved in the US for the preventive treatment of migraine. A proportion of fremanezumab-treated patients experienced reversion from CM to EM.

In this 52-week, multicenter, randomized, double-blind, parallel-group study, patients with CM received either subcutaneous fremanezumab monthly (225 mg every month; starting dose of 675 mg) or quarterly (675 mg every 3 months). This post hoc analysis evaluated the proportions of patients achieving ≥50%, ≥75%, or 100% reduction in the monthly average number of headache days of at least moderate severity or migraine days in patients with CM who reverted to an EM classification, defined as having ≥15 headache days at baseline and <15 headache days at Month 12.

Of 813 patients with CM at baseline, 548 reverted from CM to EM. Among those patients, at Month 6, 66.9%, 38.4%, and 14.4% of patients in the quarterly group; and 72.8%, 42.0%, and 15.5% in the monthly group achieved ≥50%, ≥75%, and 100% reduction in the monthly average number of headache days of at least moderate severity, respectively. At Month 12, the response rates further increased to 75.7%, 45.6%, and 21.7% in the quarterly group; and 77.7%, 49.5%, and 18.0% in the monthly group, respectively. A similar pattern was observed for migraine-day responder rates.
In fremanezumab-treated patients who reverted from CM to EM, clinically relevant response rates were sustained over the long term, and greater improvements were observed with longer time on treatment.
