Key clinical point: Once-monthly 120 mg galcanezumab was more effective than placebo in reducing total pain burden (TPB) in patients with chronic or episodic migraine who previously did not benefit from 2-4 categories of migraine preventive medication.

 

Major finding: At 3 months, galcanezumab vs placebo led to a significantly higher overall percentage change in TPB in patients with chronic (mean difference [MD] 40.4%; P < .001) or episodic (MD 53.1%; P < .001) migraine and significant reductions in monthly number, duration, and severity of migraine headache days in the overall population (all P < .001).

 

Study details: Findings are from a post hoc analysis of a phase 3 trial, CONQUER, including 458 patients with chronic or episodic migraine who previously did not benefit from 2-4 categories of migraine preventive medication and were randomly assigned to receive galcanezumab or placebo.

 

Disclosures: This study was sponsored by Eli Lilly and Company. Four authors declared being current or former employees or stockholders of Eli Lilly. J Ailani reported ties with various sources, including Eli Lilly and Company.
