Trial Outcomes & Findings for A Study Comparing the Efficacy and Safety of Fremanezumab (TEV-48125) for the Prevention of Chronic Cluster Headache (CCH) (NCT NCT02964338)

NCT ID: NCT02964338

Last Updated: 2021-11-09

Results Overview

A CH attack was defined as a severe or very severe unilateral orbital, supraorbital, and/or temporal pain lasting 15 to 180 minutes with either or both of the following 2 categories: 1) at least 1 of the following symptoms or signs, ipsilateral to the headache: -conjunctival injection and/or lacrimation; -nasal congestion and/or rhinorrhea; -eyelid edema; -forehead and facial sweating; -forehead and facial flushing; -sensation of fullness in the ear; -miosis and/or ptosis. 2) a sense of restlessness or agitation. Least Squares (LS) mean calculated using analysis of covariance (ANCOVA) model with baseline preventive medication use (yes or no), sex, region (United States \[US\]/Canada or other), and treatment as fixed effects and the baseline number of CH attacks as a covariate. Change from baseline in the overall monthly average number of CH attacks during the 12-week period after administration of the first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 12 data) is reported.

Participant Flow

Participants with a history of chronic cluster headache (CCH) were enrolled. Eligible participants entered baseline cluster headache (CH) attack information into an electronic diary device daily for greater than or equal to (≥)4 weeks during the Baseline Period.

A total of 259 participants were randomly assigned with stratification based on sex, country, and baseline concomitant preventive medication use (yes/no) to either placebo, fremanezumab 675/225/225 milligrams (mg), or fremanezumab 900/225/225 mg treatment groups in a 1:1:1 ratio.

Population: Full analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 10 days of postbaseline efficacy assessments by the Week 12 assessment.

A maximum of 2 concomitant preventive medications for CH were allowed during the study. Participants must have been on a stable dose and regimen of the concomitant medication for at least 2 weeks before screening and throughout the study. Baseline data and the mean change from baseline in the overall weekly average number of days with the use of cluster-specific acute headache medications (triptans and ergot compounds) during the 12-week period after administration of the first dose of study drug (based on Week 0 to 12 data) is reported.

Timeframe: Baseline and Weeks 1, 4, 8, and 12

Population: Full analysis set included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug and had at least 10 days of postbaseline efficacy assessments by the Week 12 assessment.

The PPSI assessment was developed to measure pain intensity and was adjusted for CH symptoms improvement. Participants marked the level of CH-associated pain and indicated if pain is "1=much worse," "2=moderately worse," "3=slightly worse," "4=unchanged," "5=slightly improved," "6=moderately improved," or "7=much improved" compared with 4 weeks prior. PPSI was defined as the change in pain that corresponds with a minimal rating of "5=slightly improved." Data at Week 1 was recorded on Day 7 in the electronic diary device at home. Week 12 data also included assessment at the early withdrawal visit for participants who discontinued the study early.

Timeframe: Baseline up to Week 12

Population: Safety population included all randomized participants who received at least 1 dose of study drug.

An AE was defined as any untoward medical occurrence that develops or worsens in severity during the conduct of a clinical study and does not necessarily have a causal relationship to the study drug. Severity was rated by the Investigator on a scale of mild, moderate and severe, with severe as an AE that prevents usual activities. Relationship of AE to treatment was determined by the Investigator. Serious AEs include death, a life-threatening adverse event, inpatient hospitalization or prolongation of existing hospitalization, persistent or significant disability or incapacity, a congenital anomaly or birth defect, or an important medical event that jeopardized the participant and required medical intervention to prevent the previously listed serious outcomes. A summary of other non-serious AEs and all serious AEs, regardless of causality is located in Reported AE section.

eC-SSRS is a questionnaire to assess suicidal ideation and suicidal behavior. Suicidal behavior was defined as a "yes" answer to any of 5 suicidal behavior questions: preparatory acts or behavior, aborted attempt, interrupted attempt, actual attempt, and completed suicide. Suicidal ideation was defined as a "yes" answer to any one of 5 suicidal ideation questions: wish to be dead, non-specific active suicidal thoughts, active suicidal ideation with methods without intent to act or some intent to act, without specific plan or with specific plan and intent, any self-injurious behavior with no suicidal intent.
