Key clinical point: In a real-life cohort of patients with chronic migraine (CM) and high-frequency episodic migraine (HFEM), galcanezumab was safe, well tolerated, and seemed to be more effective compared with that in randomized control trials.

Major finding: After 6 months of therapy, galcanezumab reduced monthly migraine days by 8 days in patients with HFEM and monthly headache days by 13 days in patients with CM (both P less than .001). Overall, galcanezumab was well tolerated with no serious adverse events reported.

Study details: Data come from a real-life, prospective cohort study (GARLIT) of 163 patients with HFEM and CM treated with subcutaneous galcanezumab 120 mg monthly.

Disclosures: The study was funded by Campus Bio-Medico University. Lead author F Vernieri along with other authors reported receiving travel grants, honoraria, and/or grants from various pharma companies. N Brunelli, CM Costa, and M Albanese had nothing to disclose.
