Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Erenumab (AMG 334) in Migraine Prevention

October 3, 2022 updated by: Amgen

A Phase 2, Randomized, Double-blind, Placebo-controlled Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of AMG 334 in Migraine Prevention

A study to evaluate the effect of erenumab compared to placebo on the change from baseline in monthly migraine days in participants with episodic migraine.

Study Overview

Detailed Description

The study is composed of an initial screening phase (up to 3 weeks), a 4-week baseline phase, a 12-week double-blind treatment phase (DBTP), an open-label treatment phase (OLTP) for up to 256 weeks, and an 8-week safety follow-up (12 weeks after the last dose of investigational product [IP]).

In the DBTP participants were to be randomized in a 3:2:2:2 ratio to placebo, erenumab 7 mg, erenumab 21 mg, or erenumab 70 mg.

During the open-label treatment phase, participants were to receive erenumab 70 mg QM from week 12 to week 264. After implementation of Protocol Amendment 3 (07 April 2016), participants remaining in the OLTP increased their dose to erenumab 140 mg QM up to week 264. The safety follow-up increased from an 8-week safety follow-up to a 12-week safety follow-up (16 weeks after the last dose of investigational product).

During the OLTP participants enrolled at sites in the United States could enroll in an optional clinical home use (CHU) substudy, per a country-specific protocol amendment dated 20 June 2016. Participants in the CHU substudy were to be randomized 1:1 into 1 of 2 treatment groups: erenumab 140 mg using a prefilled syringe or erenumab 140 mg using an autoinjector/pen. Day 1 of the CHU substudy corresponded with any OLTP study visit up through Week 256, as long as the participant had received at least 2 doses of erenumab 140 mg. During the CHU substudy, participants initially self-administered IP under site supervision on substudy day 1, and then self-administered IP at home on substudy days 29 and 57.

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days at Week 12
Time Frame: 4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase
A migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined as a migraine with or without aura. The change from baseline in monthly migraine days was calculated as the number of migraine days during the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase - the number of migraine days during the 4-week baseline phase.
4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase
CHU Substudy: Number of Participants Who Self-administered a Full Dose, Partial Dose, or No Dose of Erenumab
Time Frame: CHU substudy day 29 (week 4) and day 57 (week 8)
To assess participants ability to administer a full dose of erenumab in home-use at day 29 (week 4) and day 57 (week 8), site staff called participants and asked whether the participant administered a full, partial, or no dose of erenumab. A full dose means that the entire volume of both prefilled syringes or autoinjector/pens were injected. Discontinued prior to dosing day indicates participants who had discontinued the investigational product and did not attempt to self-administer on day 29 or 57.
CHU substudy day 29 (week 4) and day 57 (week 8)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percentage of Participants With at Least a 50% Reduction From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Days at Week 12
Time Frame: 4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase
A migraine day was any calendar day in which the participant experienced a qualified migraine headache (onset, continuation, or recurrence of the migraine headache). A qualified migraine headache was defined either as a migraine without aura or a migraine with aura. Monthly migraine days were calculated as the number of migraine days in the 4-week baseline phase and during the last 4 weeks of double-blind treatment. At least a 50% reduction from baseline in monthly migraine days was determined if the change in monthly migraine days from the 4-week baseline phase to the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase * 100 / baseline monthly migraine days was less than or equal to -50%.
4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase
Change From Baseline in Monthly Migraine Attacks at Week 12
Time Frame: 4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase

A migraine attack is an episode of any qualified migraine headache or migraine specific medication intakes for aura only. A migraine attack that was interrupted by sleep or that temporarily remits and then recurs within 48 hours or an attack treated successfully with medication but that relapses within 48 hours was considered to be one attack.

The change from baseline in monthly migraine attacks was calculated as the number of migraine attacks during the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase - the number of migraine attacks during the 4-week baseline phase.

4-week baseline phase and the last 4 weeks of the 12-week double-blind treatment phase
Number of Participants With Treatment-emergent Adverse Events in the Double-blind Treatment Phase
Time Frame: From first dose of study drug in the double-blind treatment phase until the first dose of study drug in the open-label treatment phase (12 weeks) or up to 12 weeks after last dose for participants who did not enter the open-label treatment phase.

An adverse event (AE) is any untoward medical occurrence in a clinical trial subject, including worsening of a pre-existing medical condition and laboratory value changes that require treatment or adjustment in current therapy.

From first dose in the CHU substudy to end of substudy (up to 12 weeks)
Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-erenumab Antibodies During the Double-blind Treatment Phase
Time Frame: 12 weeks

Two validated assays were used to detect the presence of anti-erenumab antibodies. First, an electrochemiluminescent bridging immunoassay was used to detect binding antibodies (screening assay) and confirm antibodies (confirmatory assay) capable of binding erenumab. Second, a cell-based bioassay was used to test positive binding antibody samples for neutralizing activity against erenumab.

Participants who developed anti-erenumab antibodies are participants who were negative or had no result at baseline but positive at any time postbaseline during the DBTP.

If a sample was positive for binding antibodies and demonstrated neutralizing activity at the same time point, the participant was defined as positive for neutralizing antibodies.

12 weeks
Number of Participants Who Developed Anti-erenumab Antibodies During the Open-label Treatment Phase
Time Frame: From week 12 up to 12 weeks (participants receiving 70 mg only) or 16 weeks (participants with dose increased to 140 mg) after the last dose; maximum 268 weeks.
