Key clinical point: A single infusion of Lu AG09222, a humanized monoclonal antibody targeting the pituitary adenylate cyclase-activating polypeptide, was more effective than placebo in reducing migraine frequency over 4 weeks in adults with episodic or chronic migraine.
Major findings: Through week 4, a single infusion of 750 mg Lu AG09222 vs placebo led to a significantly greater reduction in monthly migraine days (−6.2 vs −4.2 days; difference −2 days; P = .02). Most adverse events were mild, with COVID-19, nasopharyngitis, and fatigue being more prevalent in those receiving 750 mg Lu AG09222 vs placebo.
Study details: This phase 2 trial included 237 adults with migraine who did not respond to two to four previous treatments and were assigned to receive either Lu AG09222 (750 mg or 100 mg) or placebo for 4 weeks.
Disclosure: The study was supported by H. Lundbeck A/S. Three authors declared being employees of H. Lundbeck A/S, of whom one held stock options. One author reported receiving consulting, speaker, and advisory board fees from various sources, including H. Lundbeck A/S.
