Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The object of this study is to assess the effectiveness, safety, and tolerability of eptinezumab in a real life migraine population.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Eptinezumab is an humanized IgG1 and the only antiCGRP mAb administered intravenously by a quarterly dosing regimen. In randomized-controlled studies (RCTs), eptinezumab proved to be effective in preventing episodic and chronic migraine even in patients with 2 to 4 prior preventive failures and in shortening the time to complete migraine freedom when infused during a moderate-to severe migraine attack. Eptinezumab 100 mg can be used for the first administration and later if deemed necessary, the dose upgraded to 300 mg.

EMBRACE is a multicenter, prospective, cohort, real-life study carried out in Italian headache centers. Consecutive patients with high frequency episodic (HFEM: ≥8 migraine days/month) or CM (≥15 headache days/month), according to The International Classification of Headache Disorders, 3rd edition (ICHD-III), referred to participating centers. The aim of this study is to assess effectiveness, safety and tolerability of eptinezumab 100 mg iv or 300 mg iv with a quarterly dosing regimen in a real-world migraine patients population.
