Key clinical point: Treatment of a single migraine attack with 200 mg lasmiditan demonstrated a strong association between achieving freedom from pain and central nervous system common treatment-emergent adverse events (CTEAE).

 

Major finding: Significantly higher proportion of patients treated with 200 mg lasmiditan who were pain-free vs those who experienced moderate-to-severe pain at 2 hours post-dose reported 1 CTEAE (48.2% vs 28.7%; P < .001). A significantly higher proportion of patients reporting 1 vs 0 CTEAE were pain-free at 2 hours (39.0% vs 30.2%; P < .001). However, the absence of CTAE did not translate to the lack of efficacy.

 

Study details: This was a post hoc analysis of 4 randomized phase 2/3 trials including 6602 patients with migraine with or without aura who received lasmiditan (50, 100, or 200 mg) or placebo.

 

Disclosures: This study was funded by Eli Lilly and Company. Six authors reported being employees and minor stockholders of Eli Lilly. RB Lipton reported ties with Eli Lilly and other sources and owning stock or stock options in 3 companies.
