Key clinical point: As a migraine preventive agent, fremanezumab is effective across the full patient spectrum, including those with episodic migraine (EM), chronic migraine (CM), and difficult-to-treat (DTT) migraine (patients with medication overuse [MO], major depressive disorder [MDD], generalized anxiety disorder [GAD], or exposure to a different calcitonin gene-related peptide monoclonal antibody [CGRP mAb]).
Major finding: At month 6,the mean monthly migraine days reduced in patients with EM (−7.7 days), CM (−10.1 days), MO (−10.8 days), MDD (−9.9 days), GAD (−9.5 days), and prior CGRP mAb exposure (−9.0 days).
Study details: Findings are from aretrospective, online chart review study that collected data from 1003 patients with EM/CM aged ≥18 years at fremanezumab initiation, including those with DTT migraine, and 421 clinicians treating patients with EM/CM in a US-based practice.
Disclosures: This study was funded by Teva Pharmaceuticals. All authors declared being current or former employees of Teva Pharmaceuticals or Analysis Group, which performed these analyses funded by Teva.
